Neat GUI-Based Purchase Prompters - For Clothing and UGC!

INTRODUCTION
Today, I created a cute purchase-prompter system specifically (but not limited to) individuals and groups who would like to sell their clothing and UGC products in-game! This system was solely created for the purpose of having fun and testing my limits, though I’m here to make this system completely free and easy to use for all of you!

Here’s a demonstration of what the system looks like:

~

FEATURES

  • Custom-made proximity system
  • Purchase and ownership caching (doesn’t prompt player to purchase twice)
  • Customizable configurations (animation IDs, viewport rotation speed, etc.)
  • Will function with any type of mannequin used
  • Will function with mix-match clothing (shirt and t-shirt, pants and hat, or hell - ALL IN ONE!)

~

HOW TO USE

  1. Get the model here
  2. Open Configurations and make any necessary adjustments
    image
  3. Duplicate / Add your own mannequins in the folder, and everything should function (as long as the assets are directly parented to the mannequin model)!

CRUCIAL STEP
ALL ASSETS MUST have an “ID” attribute with its respective ID found in the catalog. This is the numerical part of the URL (ex. https ://www.roblox.com/catalog/356214819, ID = 356214819).

Wow, this is actually pretty neat and unique. I feel like this has huge potential, and many clothing groups will surely love it. Thank you.

The system will function automatically by loading the UGC accessory and parenting it to the mannequin (and setting the ID attribute, of course). The kit has a mannequin with a hat already in place, you can use that as an example, or you can watch this video here:

this looks extremely helpful but i got a question, i have mannequins in my store that have r6 bodies, will the different body type effect it at all?

5 Likes

I honestly do not think the body type should affect it at all! The system supports all types of mannequins, even ones that don’t look like mannequins. If your game is solely an R6 game, it may affect the animations that the viewport is currently playing, but you can easily switch the animation IDs in the configurations module. Other than that, the functionality should be the same :slight_smile:

This is an awesome system but I’ve ran into a few pretty bad bugs.

  1. Avatar scaling seems to mess up the viewport:

image

  1. After a while, it seems the game performance degrades heavily. Not sure if it’s this system specifically causing it, but ever since adding it to my game today, the longer the server is open, the more the FPS tanks for everyone playing. I’ve removed it for now but I’ll edit this if that’s not the cause of the issue.

You’re right, the scaling of the avatar does heavily influence how it appears on the viewport. I’ll definitely give that a look-over and see if I can come up with a solution for that. On the other hand, the UI is pretty much 100% local other than the fact that the animations are running on the server and the client is just replicating the positions of each limb based on that. I’ll give that a look over too to see if that is the cause of lag. I appreciate this feedback! :slight_smile:

From re-evaluating my scripts, I noticed that I did NOT destroy the character clones when they leave the game, which may have caused performance issues

As for the viewport frame, until I find a better solution for fitting the character model precisely within the given size of the viewport, I have placed the camera a bit further away so that the viewport is compatible with various avatar scales.

The system has been updated :slight_smile:
