Humanoid scaling not working

Help and Feedback Scripting Support
#1

Hello. I am trying to make a morph which is bigger than a normal player.
I’ve made some code to do so using the values in HumanoidDiscription.

However, when I get morphed, the scale stays the same.

There aren’t any errors in the output.

code:

local part = script.Parent
local morph = game:GetService("ServerStorage"):WaitForChild("Morphs").EvilMegaRobot
local lasers = game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage"):WaitForChild("Lasers")
local debounce = false
local badgeId = 2128826434
local badgeService = game:GetService("BadgeService")

part.Touched:Connect(function(obj)
	if obj ~= nil and obj.Parent:FindFirstChild("Humanoid") ~= nil and game:GetService("Players"):FindFirstChild(obj.Parent.Name) ~= nil and debounce == false then debounce = true
		
		local plr = game:GetService("Players"):GetPlayerFromCharacter(obj.Parent)
		local Humanoid = obj.Parent:FindFirstChild("Humanoid")
		
		local HS = Humanoid.HumanoidDescription.HeadScale
		local BDS = Humanoid.HumanoidDescription.DepthScale
		local BWS = Humanoid.HumanoidDescription.WidthScale
		local BHS = Humanoid.HumanoidDescription.HeightScale
		print("changed scale")

		local morphClone = morph:Clone()
		morphClone.Name = "StarterCharacter"
		morphClone.Parent = game:GetService("StarterPlayer")
		local lastCharacterPos = plr.Character:WaitForChild("HumanoidRootPart").Position
		
		plr:LoadCharacter()
		
		HS *= 2
		BDS *= 2
		BWS *= 2
		
		BHS *= 2
		
		badgeService:AwardBadge(plr.UserId, badgeId)
		
		morphClone:Destroy()
		local lasersClone = lasers:Clone()
		lasersClone.Parent = plr:WaitForChild("Backpack")
		
		plr.Character:WaitForChild("HumanoidRootPart").Position = lastCharacterPos
		plr.Character.Humanoid.WalkSpeed = 32
		
		wait(10)
		part.TouchEnded:Connect(function()
			debounce = false
		end)
	end
end)

Please help if you can!

Is Humanoid.AutomaticScalingEnabled set to true? Try setting it to true/false and see if that helps.

That didn’t impact it.

oops, didn’t notice at first
you’re changing the humanoid description properties but you’re never applying them
also you can’t overwrite properties by assigning a variable to them and overwriting that variable later
I’m not very good at theory lol so here’s whats wrong

local HS = Humanoid.HumanoidDescription.HeadScale
local BDS = Humanoid.HumanoidDescription.DepthScale
local BWS = Humanoid.HumanoidDescription.WidthScale
local BHS = Humanoid.HumanoidDescription.HeightScale
HS *= 2 -- < this will only affect the "HS" variable, it will not overwrite the humanoid description's property
BDS *= 2
BWS *= 2 
BHS *= 2

here’s the fixed version:

local part = script.Parent
local morph = game:GetService("ServerStorage"):WaitForChild("Morphs").EvilMegaRobot
local lasers = game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage"):WaitForChild("Lasers")
local debounce = false
local badgeId = 2128826434
local badgeService = game:GetService("BadgeService")

part.Touched:Connect(function(obj)
	if obj ~= nil and obj.Parent:FindFirstChild("Humanoid") ~= nil and game:GetService("Players"):FindFirstChild(obj.Parent.Name) ~= nil and debounce == false then debounce = true
		
		local plr = game:GetService("Players"):GetPlayerFromCharacter(obj.Parent)
		local Humanoid = obj.Parent:FindFirstChild("Humanoid")

		local morphClone = morph:Clone()
		morphClone.Name = "StarterCharacter"
		morphClone.Parent = game:GetService("StarterPlayer")
		local lastCharacterPos = plr.Character:WaitForChild("HumanoidRootPart").Position
		
		plr:LoadCharacter()
		
		Humanoid.HumanoidDescription.HeadScale *= 2
		Humanoid.HumanoidDescription.DepthScale *= 2
		Humanoid.HumanoidDescription.WidthScale *= 2
		Humanoid.HumanoidDescription.HeightScale *= 2

		Humanoid:ApplyDescription(Humanoid.HumanoidDescription); -- we're done editing the description so now we can apply it
		
		badgeService:AwardBadge(plr.UserId, badgeId)
		
		morphClone:Destroy()
		local lasersClone = lasers:Clone()
		lasersClone.Parent = plr:WaitForChild("Backpack")
		
		plr.Character:WaitForChild("HumanoidRootPart").Position = lastCharacterPos
		plr.Character.Humanoid.WalkSpeed = 32
		
		wait(10)
		part.TouchEnded:Connect(function()
			debounce = false
		end)
	end
end)

I’m getting the error “Humanod: :ApplyDescription() DataModel was not available”
