ok so heres a bit of my server script, so when the player removes an accessory from their character (via a gui list of all accessories in their character). the accessory gets removed from the character but not from the humanoid description?
how can i update the description to be updated with what the player is currently wearing?
btw dont mind the 2 functions, those r just to update the list and stuff.
local function getAccessoryList(character)
local accessories = {}
for _, accessory in ipairs(character:GetChildren()) do
if accessory:IsA("Accessory") then
local accessoryName = accessory.Name
local accessoryId = accessory:FindFirstChild("AccessoryId") and accessory.AccessoryId.Value or accessoryName
accessories[accessoryName] = accessoryId
end
end
return accessories
end
local function updatePlayerAccessories(player)
local character = player.Character
if character then
local accessories = getAccessoryList(character)
for accessoryName, accessoryId in pairs(accessories) do
updateWearingListEvent:FireClient(player, accessoryName, accessoryId)
end
end
end
removeAccessoryEvent.OnServerEvent:Connect(function(player, accessoryId)
local character = player.Character
if character then
for _, accessory in ipairs(character:GetChildren()) do
if accessory:IsA("Accessory") then
accessory:Destroy()
accessoryRemovedEvent:FireClient(player, accessory.Name)
break
end
end
updatePlayerAccessories(player)
end
end)
as far as I am aware, there is unfortunately no way to physically edit humanoid description as it is getting real time player data of the character’s avatar
maybe someone else can prove me wrong, however…
if I may ask, though, what context is needed for you to edit the humanoid description?
I can maybe provide another workaround
Sorry i saw this late. Im working on a system where its like a savable/editable humanoid description. And like theres a UI that list all the currently wore accessories and theres a remove button to remove it. But when i click it, it removes the accessory instance just not the accessory ID from the humanoid description, this is a problem because when they go to save their outfit/humanoid description, itll save an id thats not even being wore by the player.
I was working around and created a function to actually remove the id from its specific place in the humanoid description, its just the problem is getting the accessory ID from the accessory instance.
local function removeAccessoryFromDescription(humanoidDescription, accessoryType, accessoryId)
local currentIds = humanoidDescription[accessoryType]
if currentIds then
local ids = {}
for id in currentIds:gmatch("%d+") do
if id ~= accessoryId then
table.insert(ids, id)
end
end
humanoidDescription[accessoryType] = table.concat(ids, ",")
end
end
was reading this other devforum post and from my understanding getting the accessory id from the instance isn’t possible
according to this however, there is another hacky way around it:
using GetCharacterAppearanceAsync(id), you can then compare the texture and meshID of that specific accessory against the one in game, but then again, this might not produce accurate results 100% of the same
sorry that I’m not of much help, but unfortunately i think this might be the only ‘solution’
