hello there again my dear peoples, I haven’t posted in here for atleast weeks, but I have to post this problem it has been going on with my game for past weeks, so I will show you the three screenshots that have circles that shows specific issues of that game, and I will share you rbxl file of the test game I made, I tried my best to make the entire script compatible with R6 mechanism, but my scripting sucks so bad that it is my limit to fix it, so I will share you the three screenshots, and I will also share you the rbxl file for you guys to possibly fix it, and I just wanna say thank you so much for attempting to help me out 
screenshot 1:
screenshot 2:
screenshot 3:
so here is test game place file for request you amazing peoples to help modify and fix it, I’m unsure if somebody can help me with this problem I’m having right now but it would be so awesome if someone could save me.

(special credit to HowToRoblox for creating the Base Armor System despite him making it R15 exclusive and letting me suffer making compatible with R6… anyway this is his youtube channel! HowToRoblox’s Youtube Channel
thank you so much for reading all of it. -mari

With this armor system, converting to R6 can mean a couple different things. You can simplify the system to work for R6 by removing parts not found in the R6 model, or rework it to include these R15 elements (hands, feet, etc.) to an R6 game.
The first option is what I would recommend as it still utilizes this system without changing too much. I would start fresh with the code to get rid of any edits you made, since the code isn’t actually what makes it R15.
Detailed Explination of the Problem
Using the model linked above and following all of the placement instructions you’ll notice the “ArmorPieces” folder contains subfolders with different armor locations, then a model, then the individual armor pieces themselves. These are titled things like “LeftFoot”, “RightHand”, “LeftUpperArm”, etc. All parts that don’t exist in R6.`
R6 vs R15
- R6 is an older use character model that is comprised of 6 parts. Hence the name R6. There is a “Head”, “Left Arm”, “Right Arm”, “Left Leg”, “Right Leg”, and “Torso”.
- R15 is the newer R model which takes the classic R6 model and breaks it up into more pieces, 15 to be exact. Containing parts like Feet, Upper & Lower Arms, Legs, and Torso.
The model names I previously mentioned are what makes the script attach them to those R15 body parts, and since only the “Head” part exists in both R15 and R6, it is the only part that would work. The solution is to rename the parts in the ArmorPieces folder to correspond with the R6 part names. However, some of them don’t exist in R6.
Solution
-
Resizing the Armor
So in short, your solution is to remodel the armor pieces to be R6 compatible. In the image below you can see an R6 rig (left) and the original armor pieces (right). Take the armor pieces into the workspace and resize them to cover the 5 parts (excluding the head). The parts highlighted in pink are R15 exclusive (don’t exist in R6). There will be 5 parts to cover arms, legs and the torso. But in the end it will all fit into 3 folders (Head, Legs, Torso). See next step
-
Armor Folders
Then take your new models and place them under the appropriate model in the ArmorPieces folder. I didn’t resize the models but here’s what the folder should look like after you’ve done that. You need to delete “Feet” and “Hands” folders.
-
Code Edits
Head over to ArmorServer located in ServerScriptService. At the top you’ll see a table of armor types. Simply remove “Hands” and “Feet”. (Highlighted below)
.
Then head to StarterGUI and open the local script ArmorGuiHandler. Towards the top you’ll find this list of all the buttons in the UI, delete the entire line pertaining to Hands and Feet. (Highlighted below)
-
GUI Edits
Under the ArmorInventoryFrame > Character Frame you’ll see 5 buttons. Delete the Feet and Hands Image Buttons. The CharacterFrame should now look like this.
Final Product
As you can see this works. The parts just need to be resized in order to fit the character like previously mentioned.
Hope this helps!

hello there! and I’m pleased that you have responded to me! 
…but however… the torso isn’t located and welded properly, and you forgot to mention about two replacement armor types that would replace the Hands and Feet type armors… so for the first replacement of hands type armor is called “Talisman”, and second replacement of Feet type armor is called “WaistTalisman”. you have missed some of the fixes I have made for that armor system, but it is alright. let me show you the new issues I have spotted in that test game, and I will also share you the rbxl file (roblox studio place file I think) which has the today’s fixes made by me on it, but however the torso location hasn’t been fixed yet, so here is two screenshots of issues in the test game.
screenshot 1: these warning logs are assumed to be warning log that issues that armor system couldn’t find firstchild and other crappy things, I don’t seems to understand any of these 
screenshot 2: I dug into details of the errors in my test game, and I saw that torso armor’s primary part doesn’t have one more extra weldconstraint that welds PRIMARY PART inside Torso Armor with R6 humanoid’s Torso, and I saw that Head Armor’s PRIMARY PART does have one more extra weldconstraint that welds it’s PRIMARY PART with R6 humanoid’s Head. and Torso doesn’t have that extra weldconstraint while it’s supposed to have that one…
and so, here is the updated rbxl file, I’m wishing you that you could find solutions from checking out the roblox place file, and for properly test it you’d have to upload the game and allow http request in that uploaded test game… and I just wanna say thank you so much for helping around

hello there? do you mind helping me with Fixing the Armor System if you could, thank you so much.

Hey there, sorry for the delayed response. I think if you follow my instructions above, which correctly convert this system to R6, you might find what you need. Including hands/feet in R6 in unreliable as they do not exist naturally in R6. If you want to have those parts, you should consider using R15.

hey there again, in this day I were writing this, I tried to do productive today by trying to fix the armor system, but my poor scripting script and with help of chatGPT only made Chestplate not even get welded with player’s Torso in wrong height while it were supposed to be in previous code before fix… so I will share you the script again, so if you do mind helping me again, then I will gladly take the help, thank you
so anyway here is the new code I wrote with chatgpt, I wish that someone could fix it well.
local armorpieces = game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage"):WaitForChild("ArmorPieces") --this script is modfied code of EquipArmor in ServerScriptService
function equipFunc(plr:Player, armortype:string, armor:string, plrSpawned:boolean)
local char = plr.Character or plr.CharacterAdded:Wait()
if char and char:FindFirstChild("Humanoid") and char.Humanoid.Health > 0 then
local inv = plr:WaitForChild("ArmorInventory")
local equipped = plr:WaitForChild("ArmorEquipped")
local currentArmor = equipped:FindFirstChild(armortype) and equipped[armortype].Value
if armorpieces:FindFirstChild(armortype) and armorpieces[armortype]:FindFirstChild(armor) then
if currentArmor and not plrSpawned then
local healthGain = currentArmor.Stats.Health.Value
local speedGain = currentArmor.Stats.Speed.Value
char.Humanoid.MaxHealth = char.Humanoid.MaxHealth - healthGain
char.Humanoid.WalkSpeed = char.Humanoid.WalkSpeed - speedGain
for _, armorpiece in pairs(armorpieces:GetDescendants()) do
if armorpiece.Name == currentArmor.Name and armorpiece.Parent.Parent == armorpieces then
armorpiece:Clone().Parent = inv
break
end
end
currentArmor:Destroy()
end
local newarmor = armorpieces[armortype][armor]:Clone()
for _, pieces in pairs(newarmor:GetChildren()) do
if pieces:IsA("Model") then
if char:FindFirstChild(pieces.Name) then
local pivotCFrame = char[pieces.Name].CFrame
pieces:PivotTo(pivotCFrame)
local wc = Instance.new("WeldConstraint")
wc.Part0 = char[pieces.Name]
wc.Part1 = pieces.PrimaryPart
wc.Parent = pieces.PrimaryPart
elseif armortype == "Torso" then --I'm trying to make this part of the script relocates and welds Chestplate Armor to torso exclusively, But I still suck at it ;-;
pieces:PivotTo(char.Torso.CFrame + Vector3.new(0, 2, 0))
local wc = pieces.PrimaryPart.Torsoweld
wc.Part0 = char.Torso
wc.Part1 = pieces.PrimaryPart
end
end
end
newarmor.Parent = char
equipped[armortype].Value = newarmor
if inv:FindFirstChild(armor) then
inv[armor]:Destroy()
end
local newHealthGain = newarmor.Stats.Health.Value
local newSpeedGain = newarmor.Stats.Speed.Value
char.Humanoid.MaxHealth = char.Humanoid.MaxHealth + newHealthGain
char.Humanoid.WalkSpeed = char.Humanoid.WalkSpeed + newSpeedGain
if char.Humanoid.Health > char.Humanoid.MaxHealth then
char.Humanoid.Health = char.Humanoid.MaxHealth
end
end
end
end
return equipFunc
also here is screenshot of armor system test game. in the screenshot, chestplate doesn’t even get welded with player model’s Torso, and I currently doesn’t know how to fix that in any way…
anyways thanks for your help -mari
hey there again, do you mind continuing helping me with this problem that is still remaining since week ago? I posted new script that was bit modified with chatgpt but I couldn’t get proper answer of the script yet…
