How can I reliably insert decal ID’s into a decal object?
example of my problem:
i enter a valid decal ID via a script, and it sets the decal’s ID to that number, yet nothing shows up.
when i normally paste the image ID into the decal Texture, it changes the ID very slightly.
how can I make it reliable?
Please use the Search tool up top. Are these what’s happening to you?
<Decals appearing black in edit mode but normal in test mode?
<Decals & certain Textures completely black
no, they’re not happening to me. I’m looking into my issue right now.
Are you using the rbxassetid:// prefix?
no, should i be using that prefix?
Yeah, just do decal.Texture = 'rbxassetid://'..imageId
The issue with that is:
that definitively sets an asset id.
roblox’s decal system sucks, so it will change it slightly when entering it manually.
i need the decal to correct when entered via script. is there a good way to do this?
I’m not sure what you mean, the id shouldn’t change if it’s a valid decal

take a look at the last few digits of the decal ID before AND after i enter it.
^^this is the ID i entered.
Oh I see, not sure why that’s happening but my guess is that it probably has to do with how assets are delivered, try typing in “rbxassetid://7422642815”
Ah okay, I just tried it out now. That’s weird.
I did a bit of research and came across this post:
So basically,
local id = 7422642815
decal.Texture = 'rbxthumb://type=Asset&id='..id..'&w=420&h=420'
That worked for me.
you, my man, are a life saver. you earned this solution. thanks!
