How would I change faces with the new roblox update?

[blackholeinspace (Oodot)]

The new roblox dynamic heads update breaks how a player’s face is changed in game. Previously, I would change the decal asset id, but now that seem to doesn’t do anything:

local CurrentFace = char.Head.face.Texture
		local newFace = "rbxassetid://83025982" 
		--Change to newFace
		char.Head.face.Texture = newFace

Can someone point me in the right direction? Thank you.

That will still work, but you’d have to change the mesh of the head as well. Either use the Head MeshType on a SpecialMesh, or if it’s R15, the avatars will be using a MeshPart for the head, so you’d need to replace the MeshPart with a new one that uses the same MeshId that they used before the dynamic heads update.

Actually, I forgot that the face decal doesn’t get created anymore, so you’ll have to make the decal manually

change the MeshPart’s MeshId

Just a heads up, I don’t think you can’t do this.

Scripts I’ve seen to undo the dynamic head update have had to create a new mesh/part and manually replace the head.

also @blackholeinspace, the reason your code won’t do anything now is because the face object, and thus texture property don’t exist anymore.

Thank you this helped me a lot. I figured out a solution.

1. Open the catalog to find the head one would like to use, copy the catalog id (ensure it is not a bundle id).
2. In studio paste this command in the command bar: game:GetService("InsertService"):LoadAsset(ASSETID).Parent = game.Workspace
3. Find the new mesh in the workspace.
4. Through a script, change the character head’s MeshId with the MeshId from the new mesh AND replace the character head’s TextureId with the TextureId from the new mesh.
