You can write your topic however you want, but you need to answer these questions:
Trying to make a murderer ability called Disguise where it takes a character from replicatedstorage and changes your disguise

It’s only happening locally, and to everyone else, you become naked and weird.

First, use Destroy().

Second, you are running this on a LocalScript. Changes will not replicate to the server, meaning others will not see your clothing.

So then would I use a ModuleScript or a normal Script

#4

Normal Script. ModuleScripts are used for storing functions or/and tables. Read more about them here.

#5

Also note that you have to specify the Player instance using a variable, LocalPlayer is always nil server-sided.

#6

How do i do that? I’m not very smart

#7

I don’t really know, depends on your game’s mechanics.

#8

By the way, a quick way to collect player appearance assets is to use their superclass, CharacterAppearance. You can avoid a long train of ClassName checking and all that.

for _, appearanceItem in ipairs(player.Character:GetChildren()) do
    if appearanceItem:IsA("CharacterAppearance") then
        appearanceItem:Destroy()
    end
end

This can be done for switching in and out of characters. Just make sure that, at the end of the day, you respect the client-server model when approaching this disguise thing. The deletions you initially made replicate but adding more appearance items doesn’t. You’ll need remotes at some step of the way.

Can you tell me this in english? I’m still new to this stuff

#10

The code is a little bit unorganized so I didn’t bother taking time to read it… But since you said it’s only happening on the client then you’re probably using a local script. Try to run the event that changes the appearance on a Server Script.

That’s why it’s imperative you do research. This is as English as I can make it. If you don’t understand something, you should always search first before asking a question. All the information and terms I used are searchable and assume a degree of familiarity with programming terms.
