Humanoid:ApplyDescription() is not applying accessories

Help and Feedback Scripting Support
#1

Greetings! I have went a bit throught the forum and I have found multiple topics regarding this. While it appeared to be resolved for a period, it’s now broken again. Atleast for me. This is my code I am using:

local function showActivePlayer()
	task.spawn(function()
		local player = game.Players.LocalPlayer

		local framesUi = Retrieve.frames()
		local mainUi = framesUi.avatar_edit
		local PreviewArea = mainUi:WaitForChild("PreviewArea")

		local Rig = nil
		if PreviewArea.AvatarView:FindFirstChild("Rig") then
			Rig = PreviewArea.AvatarView:FindFirstChild("Rig")
		else
			Rig = script.Rig:Clone()
			Rig.Parent = PreviewArea.AvatarView
		end
	
		local desc
		local succ,err = pcall(function()
			desc = game.Players:GetHumanoidDescriptionFromUserId(player.UserId)
		end)

		if succ then
			task.wait(5)
			
			Rig.Humanoid:ApplyDescription(desc)
		else
			warn("An error occurred while trying to fetch the Character Description:",err,"Retrying.")
			task.wait(0.1)
			showActivePlayer()
		end
	end)
end

Am I doing something wrong or is an engine bug?

The “Rig” is a R15 block dummy. ^

#3

Is it applying the other avatar items such as clothing and skin tone?

It seems you are using a custom rig. Accessories will not apply without the proper Attachment instances parented to the Head. Please ensure your Rig hierarchy looks something in the name of this:

I have used a basic rig that spawns in upon using the “Spawn Rig” dummy. Why shouldn’t it work when it’s basically the “official” way to spawn in a Rig if you get what I mean.

Furthermore, I’ve tested it with a rig I’ve inserted via Moon Animator 2 Rig Inserter (from myself’s char) and it’s still not working.

Sorry for the late reply.

Moon Animator’s rig importer I’m pretty sure only imports rigs optimized for animating. Unless you got some other script deleting character’s accessories, there’s no other reason why ApplyDescription wouldn’t work unless some Attachments are missing.

Try using ApplyDescriptionReset if you’re most certainly positive you have the required Attachments.
