Hello, so I have a script which is suppose to make the id in the textbox import into roblox, though I am very new to accessory part of scripting, here is my script

game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(player)
	player.CharacterAdded:Connect(function(character)
		script.Parent.FocusLost:connect(function(enterPressed)
			if enterPressed then
				local Load = game:GetService("InsertService"):LoadAsset(script.Parent.Text)
				Load.Parent = character
				for i, v in pairs(Load:GetChildren()) do
					v.Parent = character
				end
			end
		end)
	end)
end)

I think you have to convert the Text to a number since Text is automatically a string. You’ll have to do some filteing to ensure what was given is a number, but for now, you could do

local Load = game:GetService("InsertService"):LoadAsset(tonumber(script.Parent.Text))

Didn’t seem to work just tested it.

Okay trouble shooting time

What happens if you print the children of Load, any errors? Are you remembering to press enter?

#5

Nothing seems to print in output when putting a print for printing the children of load in the code.

#6

There’s the issue then, okay so firstly, what are you trying to load in?

Dominus Empyreus - Roblox Just this random hat

It is in a CharacterAdded event so it may be waiting for a new character to be added. What if you take it out of the CharacterAdded event

#9

It is not possible to get character without the playeradded.

#10

Wait yea now taht I see it carefully, why is in a PlayerAdded and characterAdded? Couldn’t you just make it a separate event and just parent it to the local player’s character? This is in a Localscript correct?

#11

You can just do player.Character to get the character

#12

It’s in a server script. localplayer.character wouldnt work.

#13

Server scripts can’t see text inputted by the client. You will have to change it to a local script. To get the player you can do game.Players.LocalPlayer and game.Players.LocalPlayer.Character to get their character

Convert it to a localscript and make it so when Focus is lost by an enter press, parent the Asset to the Localplayer

Yea, but insertservice doesn’t work it in a localscript

#16

You will have to use remote events to send the text to a server script

#17

Can’t you use a RemoteEvent then to pass in the given id and insert it using a Server sided Remote?

#18

I’m gonna better the code real quick.

local PLAYER_SERVICE = game:GetService("Players")

local PLAYER = PLAYER_SERVICE.LocalPlayer or PLAYER_SERVICE:FindFirstChild("NameHere") or PLAYER_SERVICE:WaitForChild("NameHere")
-- We wait for PLAYER variable to be available, then we move on from there.
local CHARACTER = Player.Character or Player.CharacterAdded:Wait()


script.Parent.FocusLost:connect(function(ENTER_PRESSED)
      if ENTER_PRESSED then
            -- I copied and pasted the code to here.
            local Load = game:GetService("InsertService"):LoadAsset(script.Parent.Text)
				Load.Parent = character
				for i, v in pairs(Load:GetChildren()) do
					v.Parent = character
				end
      end
end)

And also, you should’ve just done this.

I will just use remote events, thanks for the advice. I marked your answer as solution.
