Hello,
I’ve recently been fizzling around with HumanoidDescriptions and so far I haven’t seen any post mentioning the following bug that I’ve been experiencing with them.
When setting any BodyColors on the HumanoidDescription and applying it on a loaded character using Humanoid:ApplyDescription(), the server Part’s color are as defined in the HumanoidDescription, however it seems like the client BodyColors are set to the nearest BrickColor.
Reproduction:
The bug always happens in both Website-Play mode and Solo mode, and can be seen every time by switching from the server to the client view and vice-versa. This bug has been happening for as long as I’ve been using HumanoidDescription, which dates back to 3 weeks ago.
Example:
To illustrate, I’ve set-up a Script in the ServerStorage which contains the following code:
local TESTCOLOR = Color3.fromRGB(106, 129, 81)
game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(newPlayer)
newPlayer.CharacterAdded:Connect(function(newChar)
while newChar.Parent == nil do
wait()
end
local newHD = Instance.new("HumanoidDescription")
newHD.HeadColor = TESTCOLOR
newHD.LeftArmColor = TESTCOLOR
newHD.RightArmColor = TESTCOLOR
newHD.TorsoColor = TESTCOLOR
newHD.RightLegColor = TESTCOLOR
newHD.LeftLegColor = TESTCOLOR
newChar.Humanoid:ApplyDescription(newHD)
local headColor = newChar.Head.Color
print("Original Test Color", TESTCOLOR.r * 255, TESTCOLOR.g * 255, TESTCOLOR.b * 255)
print("Character Color", headColor.r * 255, headColor.g * 255, headColor.b * 255)
end)
end)
The chosen color perfectly shows the difference between the Client & the Server:
-
The first print shows the TESTCOLOR values
-
The second print also shows the TESTCOLOR values which testify that the server color is correct
-
On the server the color is the expected color:
-
On the client the color is apparently set to the nearest BrickColor:
-
When tested with multiple players on the studio, HumanoidDescriptions works as expected:
-
Finally, when tested from joining the game by the website, the problem arises again:
