"No cage data exists for . TemporaryReferenceId was not set" for layered clothing

I am creating layered clothing and running into what I can only imagine to be bugs with the caging data. When I have just uploaded the file, I have zero issues, no errors are reported and everything works fine, then somewhere along the way I get the error “No cage data exists for . TemporaryRefernceId was not set.” And my clothes start clipping through the avatar/stop fitting properly.

I have also gotten this error message typically after re-opening the experience:

It may also be worth noting that when I have tried to fix this by just uploading the inner and outer cage files to the CageMeshContent and ReferenceMeshContent in properties, nothing happens..

The only times I have clipping issues is when this error shows up, and there have been a very small number of times that I’ve also had the error but not had any clipping issues.

This is particularly bad because it has now happened twice when I saved my object to Roblox, causing many clothing clipping issues with the avatars that were not happening before I saved it, wasting the Robux spent towards that.

The beta features I have enabled are:

  • Dragger QoL Improvements
  • Haptic Effects
  • Input Action System
  • New Luau type solver
  • Revamped Asset Manager
  • UI Styling
  • UIDragDetectors

Expected behavior

I expect that it would use the CageMeshContent/CageMeshId along with the ReferenceMeshContent/ReferenceMeshId in the handle wrap layer to properly generate the clothing cage.

Just wondering if you found anything out about this error as I am also experiencing the exact same issue as you describe.

There’s a workaround where you need to import it to a new studio place but it doesn’t always work on the first try

I’ve gotten this error 19 times on the server-side in the past 28 days. “No cage data exists for . TemporaryReferenceId was not set.”

I don’t use layered clothing and the game hasn’t been updated since 2023.

Hey @Roame32, I’m on the Layered Clothing team and we’re looking at this. Are you still running into this? If so, can you send an RBXL of the avatar with the assets in it? Thanks so much!

Hi,

Just to let you know, this error is completely spamming our game’s error log.

It’s ridiculous that this is even sent in the console of games—developers do not need to know about these errors and they should be completely omitted from the console unless the user is creating the UGC item. Can this be looked into?

Olá, estou enfrentando o mesmo problema que a pessoa da publicação

This is heavily affecting my game’s error log as well. This is over 1 day of time:


I have the same errors in my logs and in the Roblox Studio Console. It happens every time a layered clothing is applied to some rig (I spawn NPC Rigs and add to them layered jackets, hats, etc).

Those errors should be harmless and only happen in Studio, when they happen, Studio will regenerate the HSR data required. We’re looking into suppressing them but they shouldn’t prevent you from uploading good clothing items.

As has been mentioned above multiple times, these errors occur outside of Studio, in live game servers. As per your reply, this is clearly unintended behavior. Can you confirm you’re looking into fixing this?

These should be greatly reduced by some fixes we rolled out since April. Are you still seeing it quite often?

Yes.
