hello Everyone!
My name is dodosnicker I have a model that needs to be a hat that spawns on the persons head when they join. The hat is not put as an anything, it is just a model right now.
Thank you!

It’s not a good solution, but I made a model of a hat welded to a head, have the head invisible and uncollidable. I put the model into ServerStorage, and coded it so when a player joins, it checks when they spawn and clones the model into their character, and welds the fake head to the real head.

Code looks something like this:

game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(plr)
	plr.CharacterAdded:Connect(function(char)
		local model = game.ServerStorage.Model:Clone()
		model.Parent = char
		local weld = Instance.new("Weld")
		weld.Parent = model.FakeHead
		weld.Part0 = model.FakeHead
		weld.Part1 = char.Head
	end)
end)

its updated now, dont forget to weld the hat parts to the fake head and have it unanchored

its also recommended to have the script in ServerScriptService

I have a problem… I made my character quite small like the size of a bloxikin; the hats are massive and they should be the size of the actual startercharacters head. How do I fix this?

make the hat smaller, and the reference head its welded to
