Humanoid:ApplyDescription() doesn't load body colours or clothing

Localscript code:

local desc = services.plrs:GetHumanoidDescriptionFromUserId(player.UserId)
modules.loadplrdesc(workspace.ClassRoom.PlayerDummy, desc)

‘loadplrdesc’ module code:

local module = function(dummymodel, desctoapply)
	if dummymodel:FindFirstChildWhichIsA('Humanoid') then
		dummymodel:FindFirstChildWhichIsA('Humanoid'):Destroy()
		local humanoid = Instance.new('Humanoid')
		humanoid.Parent = dummymodel
		humanoid:ApplyDescription(desctoapply)
	end
end

return module

The code produces this monstrosity:

I’ve tried putting a ‘Shirt’ and ‘Pants’ instance in the dummy, but that didn’t help. Any ideas?

#2

You can’t apply description of a Humanoid locally.

#3

Vice versa, actually. It won’t work, and will error if you do it on a server-created humanoid

#4

Humanoids from Player.Character are replicated to the server. Why not manually apply the HumanoidDescription?

I missed this update!

Are any errors throwing?

#6

No, just the auto recovery message.

I’ll see if it works in the roblox player though
Okay, it throws this in the player, but not studio:

Not sure if this is related though, looks like it is because line 63 is the 2nd line in the script provided

#7

ApplyDescription can only be called by the server.

The following script worked for me.

local Game = game
local Workspace = workspace
local Players = Game:GetService("Players")
local R6 = Workspace.R6
local R15 = Workspace.R15

do
	local Success, Result = pcall(function() return Players:GetHumanoidDescriptionFromUserId(3394880434) end)
	if not Success then warn(Result) return end

	R6.Humanoid:ApplyDescription(Result)
	R15.Humanoid:ApplyDescription(Result)
end
