I need some help altering an avatar editor!

[kitkatsncoffee (Rabies)]

Hey! I’m a terrible scripter. The extent of my scripting knowledge is basically a GUI close button. ANYWAY, there’s this amazing open source resource by 0_1195

Open-source In-Game Avatar Editor

I made a simple in-game avatar editor! [RobloxScreenShot20191229_155849664] Here is a video demonstrating what it can do: [[Outdated] Roblox In Game Avatar Editor] Some things to point out: It is not R6 compatible. This avatar editor does not support emotes. There is no optimization done in any way. (ex: when selecting the Hats subcategory, it will load almost 8,000 UI elements at once; huge frame drops). Searching through the UI elements is also causes frame drops. My catalog …

It’s an avatar editor, really well made. Basically a godsend for the unexperienced such as myself. I do have one thing I’m trying to fix up! I’m having trouble altering the scripts to accept decals as faces, as some of the faces in my game are just decals and not roblox faces themselves. I think that the scripts search for an item class based on the ID (i.e, this is a hat, weld to head, etc.) I’ve been looking through but its just a mess to me (probably much more legible to actual scripters) and I don’t know where to start.

If some of the more experienced scripters could help me out with this, it’d be much appreciated!

To be clear, I need to find a way to allow decals in the same class as faces, so they are put on the player’s face when equipped. I’ll post (what I think are) the relevant scripts below. If you’d like to look in the actual full resource, the link above has a downloadable baseplate game to see all the components.
