HumanoidDescription - How to add/remove an accessory to the HumanoidDescription?

Help and Feedback Scripting Support
#1

I’m trying to understand the HumanoidDescription, but it’s not clicking for me.

Basically, I’m looking to make a system where people can try on accessories of any sort from the ROBLOX catalog onto themselves. However, I’m looking to achieve this by using the HumanoidDescription.

I understand how to add/remove a singular item from a category. However, what if the HumanoidDescription already has accessories in the category (or more of them in the same category) and I wish to add/remove a specific accessory to it?

Does anyone know how this would be achieved? It’s been giving me a rough time for the past few hours and I’m pretty sure a lot of people on here know better than I do.

Thank you! Any feedback is appreciated. :heart:

Adding accessories: just add a comma and then the new accessory’s ID to the right property. like 12345678 plus the hypothetical 123 accessory would become 12345678,123.

I think I might know how to remove an accessory, but I’m not 100% and I’m not good in explaining.

Let me try this real quick, I’ll get back to you in a second.

Unfortunately, it didn’t work; it just adds up the sum of both IDs. I thought it could work cause, for some reason, IDs from HumanoidDescription show as strings, but they’re so confusing to me.

#5

The sum? May I see the relevant code please?

#6

Wait, I read that wrong. Sorry!

Basically, at first, I did the thing with commas like what you said, but it doesn’t add up the second ID; it just shows the first that was on the list.

Then, I had an idea of converting the whole category of a HumanoidDescription to string and then add up a tostring() of the second ID. It just counts them together.

I don’t think the code is necessary; it’s just a singular test line that needs to be mastered in order to apply it to everything else.

Did you apply the description of the modified HumanoidDescription to the player’s Humanoid tho?

#8

I haven’t cause in order to do that, I need to be able to change the description to apply it. However, this whole topic is the issue; I can’t seem to figure out how to add/remove an asset/multiple assets to a description category even if that category was to be empty or have multiple assets in it already.

#9

In that case, I’d still like to see the code. Maybe I can find if something in the code causes it.

#10

There is no code; I can’t seem to figure it out at all.

The game code has nothing to do with the HumanoidDescription part. HumanoidDescription is what I need to figure out so I can implement it.

#11

What about this test line then? Even if the code doesn’t work at all, it could help figure out what’s going wrong.

#12

It’s just what you said, so it’s really not any use.

Any form of help is appreciated!

Update: Still haven’t been able to resolve this issue. Any form of help is appreciated!

You can just parent he accessory to the character and remove it when you unequip it

#15

Maybe I should’ve mentioned it right at the beginning, sorry; I’m looking to save the HumanoidDescription to DataStores, so I can’t go by that method. I need actual IDs so the outfit can reload on next startup.

#16

You can still save the hat ids in the datastore and use game:GetService("InsertService"):LoadAsset(asset_id)[1].Parent = character to load a specific hat id and put it in a player’s character
