“Players:GetCharacterAppearanceAsync()”

This alleviates one of the most annoying problems I was experiencing where I had to spawn characters to the workspace, immediately parent them to nil, prepare them with armor and make sure their local code is running, and then parent them back to workspace. I can just manually create the character knowing their character appearance without having to spawn them into the workspace and immediately parent them to nil. Thank you for this.

What about RunService[:IsClient() and :IsServer()]?

#4

Those aren’t enabled yet. We only make a limited number of changes per day and we have a number of changes queued that will be enabled this week, including the new RunService methods.

#5

9-slice doesn’t look fixed right now so I’m gonna assume it wasn’t part of the group of GUI related issues that were fixed so, is the 9-slice translation glitch going to be fixed soon?
