How to get RigType from imported HumanoidDescription?

Help and Feedback Scripting Support
#1

Hello, I am trying to import a player’s HumanoidDescription. I have done this, but I have run into problems like these:
rigtypeBug
Is there anyway to know the RigType from the HumanoidDescription and not the humanoid?
Or, is there any API I can use to check if the imported player is R6 or R15?

#2

No. Why can’t you check from the humanoid?

#3

It always returns “R6”… Whenever I switch it to R15, it kills the character… I only have the R6 animate script right now, but before applying the HumanoidDescription, is there any way of checking if it is R15 or R6, so I can parent the right Animate script?

#4

That must be something else that’s causing that. Are you trying to apply a HumanoidDescription instance that contains data for an R6 rig onto a R15 rig?

#5

check if the player has a torso or not.
example:

If Character:FindFirstChild("Torso") then
     print("Is R6")
else
     print("Is R15")

It’s an imported HumanoidDescription from the User’s Id… I don’t think it contains data for an R6 rig or an R15 rig?

event:FireServer(UserInfo.Id)

local event = game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage"):WaitForChild("TargetAvatarEvent")
local players = game:GetService("Players")
local cd = workspace:WaitForChild("CopyChar"):WaitForChild("Copy")
event.OnServerEvent:Connect(function(plr,id)
	--print(name)
	local dummyHumanoid = workspace:FindFirstChild("TargetDummy"):WaitForChild("Humanoid")
	local desc = players:GetHumanoidDescriptionFromUserId(id)
	dummyHumanoid:ApplyDescriptionReset(desc)
	print(tostring(dummyHumanoid.RigType)) -- R6
	--[[for _,part in pairs(dummyHumanoid.Parent:GetChildren()) do
		if part:IsA("Part") then
			part.CanCollide = false
		end
	end]]
end)

But that’s the problem… it always returns R6

#8

Try @iM1GHTB3DANI method, it might work since that’s another way to distinguish between R6 and R15 rigs.

#9

R15 has lowertorso and uppertorso, R6 only has torso

#10

Tried importing an R15 avatar… it has a torso.

Are you sure you clicked the right button? That’s not R15.

#13

I tried importing an R15 avatar into my game… it results in R6?

How do you import your characters?

A rather hackier solution to this problem would be to download the character for that ID and detect the humanoid’s rig type in there.

I believe the Players service has that function as well.

#17

@iM1GHTB3DANI can you help check the video? I cant see it.

#18

Which function? Also what do you mean to download the character?

#19

I seem to have found a function in the Players service that tells the RigType… I’ll test if this works or not.
If you are having the same problems then game:GetService("Players"):GetCharacterAppearanceInfoAsync(id)
Nevermind, it just kills the dummy…

I believe they’re referring to Players:CreateHumanoidModelFromUserId.

local model = Players:CreateHumanoidModelFromUserId(1)
model.Parent = workspace
