Well i don’t have exactly a script that does something like that, but i tested deleting the shirts in workspace when i run the game in roblox studio, the script detects that and the funciton runs.

maybe is wrong if i do it like that but im testing right now so i dont need to edit scripts if i finish this.

#23 

-- Local Script
local function characterChanged(object)
	local character = player.Character
	if character then
			detectChangedEvent:FireServer(object)
	end
end

-- Conectar la función a los eventos adecuados
player.CharacterAdded:Connect(function()
	
end)

player.Character.ChildAdded:Connect(function(ObjectAdded)
	characterChanged(ObjectAdded)
end)

player.Character.ChildRemoved:Connect(function(ObjectRemoved)
	characterChanged(ObjectRemoved)
end)

and

-- Server
local function updateDummy(player, object)
	local dummy = dummies[player.UserId]
	
	if dummy then
        if object:IsA("Shirt") then
		    dummy.Shirt.Id = object.Id
        end
	end
end
detectChangedEvent.OnServerEvent:Connect(updateDummy)

Honestly, some of your code doesn’t make sense, but I made some changes, so basically when a child is added to the character (detected from a local script), then it fires a remote event to the server with the child, checks if the child is a shirt, if it is then it uses the ID of that child and applies it to the dummy’s shirt.

This means that, when a player wears a shirt (ChildAdded) or removes a shirt (ChildRemoved), it applies the shirt to the dummy.

im going to test it, thanks, im going to say if it works.

#25

detectChangedEvent.OnServerEvent:Connect(player, object)

is incorrect, you need to put the function, but i think that we are close to fix all of this problem

#26

and if i put the function in the OnServerEvent, it doesn’t gives errors, but the shirt doesn’t apply

#27

Oops, yeah just replace it with a function, that was a silly mistake.

#28

Alright, then do print(object.Id). Let’s see what it shows on the output.

#29 
local function updateDummy(player, object)
	local dummy = dummies[player.UserId]

	if dummy then
		if object:IsA("Shirt") then
			print(object.Id)
		end
	end
end
detectChangedEvent.OnServerEvent:Connect(updateDummy)

it doesn’t print if the script is like that

but if remove the lines

if object:IsA(“Shirt”) then
end

and i leave the print it gives a error

Id is not a valid member of Accessory “Workspace.ZyntaxStar.Black Vest”

and the same error with everything inside the character

#30

That is literally what I’m saying, your code doesn’t make sense… childadded events detect when a new child is parented to a character, that child could be an accessory or a tool. When you reset your character, it will detect all the new accessories that will be added to the character.


“Workspace.ZyntaxStar.Black Vest” -- this is an accessory

You need to add code to make it so that a player can wear a shirt, rather than doing it manually in studio via workspace.

#31

Ok i understand i think… so, whats next? i need to do new code so i can detect the shirts added and accesorys and other things ? because i want to detect it when i join to the game so the dummy gets the accessorys and shirts detected its very confusing to explain but i think that you understand.

#32

I 100% do understand what you are saying but you need to use your own game logic to check when a player wears a shirt, for example, is it through a textbutton? proximity prompt? It’s all on you.

#33

It’s when the player joins to the game, the script gets all the accessories and shirts, and passes them to the dummy to be cloned to the dummy, after that I don’t know how to detect if a shirt is removed or added to the player for the dummy to clone it.

#34

I’ll just create a place and I’ll give you the file for it so that you can access it.

I’ll create 2 objects where one of them, you can click to wear a shirt and one of them will remove the shirt of the player’s character.

When I wear a shirt, I’ll also ensure that it also applies to the dummy.

I’ll come back soon.

#35

Oh, Thank you so much, I would really appreciate it if you do that.

just clone the player … and then replace dummy

Something like this …

local function onTouched(hit)
    local player = game.Players:GetPlayerFromCharacter(hit.Parent)
    if player then
        local dummy = game.Workspace:WaitForChild("Dummy")
        local clone = hit.Parent:Clone()
        clone.Parent = workspace
        dummy:Destroy()
    end
end

game.Workspace.Dummy.Touched:Connect(onTouched)

im going to try it thanks so much!
