Hello, My script which is suppose to update the shirt texture of my first person arms based on the player, is not working. Here is my source code any feedback/help would be appreciated, thanks!

-- // Variables \\ --

local PlayerShirt = game.Players.LocalPlayer.Character.Shirt.ShirtTemplate.Value

-- // Events \\ --

game.ReplicatedStorage.ArmModel.Shirt.ShirtTemplate.Value = PlayerShirt

Maybe it won’t work, but try making it the other way around

PlayerShirt = game.ReplicatedStorage.ArmModel.Shirt.ShirtTemplate.Value

Or just

 Game.Players.LocalPlayer.Character.Shirt.ShirtTemplate.Value = game.ReplicatedStorage.ArmModel.Shirt.ShirtTemplate.Value
#3

Sadly, neither one of them works, every single time the error comes up as,

“Shirt is not a valid member of Workspace.ilovedevex”. Which the problem is that Shirt is a valid member of the player’s character, because it’s the same for every Roblox character ever.

You must do it through Server Side, from what side are you running the script?

#5

I am running it from, StarterCharacterScripts in a LocalScript, so client.

Alright, try running it from the server side; otherwise it will only replicate on the client side.

#7

Now the error, “ServerScriptService.CustomShirt:2: attempt to index nil with ‘Character’” comes up when I move it to ServerScriptService in a normal script.

#9

From Server-Side would be;

--// Variables //--
local ReplicatedStorage = game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage")
local Direction = ReplicatedStorage:WaitForChild("ArmModel").Shirt.ShirtTemplate

--// Functions //--
game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(Player)
	Player.CharacterAdded:Connect(function(Character)
		
		local ShirtTemplate = Character:FindFirstChild("Shirt").ShirtTemplate
		if ShirtTemplate then
			Direction.Value = ShirtTemplate.Value
		end
	end)
end)

Let’s see if it works fine.

I think everything should work fine, but the output has an error which I think has something to do with the server not seeing the ShirtTemplate property.

New error: ServerScriptService.CustomShirt:9: attempt to index nil with ‘ShirtTemplate’

#11

Alright! I found a solution, put this into StarterCharacterScripts.

--// Variables //--
local ReplicatedStorage = game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage")
local Direction = ReplicatedStorage:WaitForChild("ArmModel").Shirt.ShirtTemplate

--// Functions //--
local Character = script.Parent

if Character:FindFirstChild("Shirt") then
	Direction.Value = Character.Shirt.ShirtTemplate
end

Under a LocalScript or a normal Script?

#13

This would be from Server-Side, so a Script it’s fine.

For some reason, I think it seems to not see Value as a proper property.

New Error: Workspace.ilovedevex.CustomShirt:9: attempt to index string with ‘Value’

also, sorry for all the questions. :sweat_smile:

#15 
--// Variables //--
local ReplicatedStorage = game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage")
local Direction = ReplicatedStorage:WaitForChild("ArmModel").Shirt.ShirtTemplate

--// Functions //--
local Character = script.Parent

if Character:FindFirstChild("Shirt") then
	Direction = Character.Shirt.ShirtTemplate
end

Let’s test this!

This is a weird one, no errors, but no changes either. :thinking:

#17 
--// Variables //--
local ReplicatedStorage = game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage")
local Model = ReplicatedStorage:WaitForChild("ArmModel")
local ShirtModel = Model:WaitForChild("Shirt")

--// Functions //--
local Character = script.Parent

if Character:FindFirstChild("Shirt") and ShirtModel then
	ShirtModel.ShirtTemplate = tostring(Character.Shirt.ShirtTemplate)
end

REMINDER

  • Put the script into StarterCharacterScripts.
  • The side of the script would be the Server, then make a Script.
