Removing Given Clothes

Help and Feedback Scripting Support
#1

I had this brainwave of an idea for my game. Basically its a railway game but this idea was you can choose what you want to be. Driver, Dispatcher, Guard or just a normal player. The Driver, Dispatcher and Guard would get given their respective uniforms, as shown below.

So there I am, programming along making this work. Now its time to script the “Delete my role”. This is where I froze.

How do I make it so that the clothes given are removed and the user gets their own clothes back?

Here’s my regular outfit. I need to workout a way to give back their original clothes and remove the given outfits. Anyone have any ideas? I’ve searched through this forum and scriptinghelpers and I cannot find anything.

Thanks.

Have you tried to use HumanoidDescriptions? You could get a humanoid description from the player and then apply it. Giving the clothing back!

There is actually a fairly simple way of doing this; though it has a few variations on it’s execution.

I’d personally recommend just using 2 string values to store the shirt and pants ids of the players whenever they change outfits, this way you can easily reset them; you could also just store them when the player joins and not set them afterwards.

Something such as:

-- outfit activation here
ShirtID = character.Shirt.ShirtTemplate
PantsID = character.Pants.PantsTemplate
-- Continue setting outfit

-- return activation
character.Shirt.ShirtTemplate = ShirtID
character.Pants.PantsTemplate = PantsID

Hope this helps.

ShirtID = character.Shirt.ShirtTemplate
PantsID = character.Pants.PantsTemplate

Don’t you need something on the end of this?

I actually find this confusing to use. It has to fit into a RemoteEvent script (on the server side) and I’m finding it difficult because of where to exactly put them.

#6

No, “ShirtTemplate” and “PantsTemplate” would be similar to saying “StringValue.Value”

Because of where I put it, every time the remoteevent is fired for the user the shirt and pants template would be the ones they are wearing, not the original ones. How can I bypass this?

#8

You could save their original shirt and pants template when they first join and whenever they reset, this would bypass that issue.

#9

And how does one unintelligent person do this?

-- local script inside of starterpack/startergui (wherever you keep the local script for remote events)
game.Players.CharacterAdded:Connect(function(char)
   if char then
      shirtid = game.Players.LocalPlayer.Character.Shirt.ShirtTemplate
      pantsid = game.Players.LocalPlayer.Character.Pants.PantsTemplate
   end

The RemoteEvent script is a Server Script and is located inside ServerScriptService…

Hello, I know this sounds stupid but what about you just run
Player:LoadCharacter()

#13

Ah, I must’ve been mistaken and assumed you were using :FireServer() as opposed to :FireClient, my mistake. I don’t see why you’d use a serverscript to change the shirt/pants id of a player as any changes made locally to the player are actually viewable to all.

Also a quick note: “game.Players.CharacterAdded” should be “game.Players.LocalPlayer.CharacterAdded”

You could just carry out everything in a local script, at least that’d be the easiest way in my opinion.

#14

It’s not that, I have to give an Overhead GUI to the player’s head as well as give them some tools which I’ve already programmed.

#15

Wait so if you change clothing from a client… does it actually replicate to the server? I dont think so

#16

Unless it was patched recently (which I don’t believe it was since as far as I am aware it was an intentional feature), any changes made from the client towards that players avatar will replicate to the server. That’s why things like TP exploits work.

#17

A solution of player:LoadCharacter() did work, although it respawns the player but I guess this could be a temporary solution.

#18

I was actually not aware of this feature

#19

I assumed you had team spawns put in place but you could log the player’s cloth ids ONCE he/she enters the game. Then you can use them in deleting the roles

#20

Pretty sure I included game.Players.LocalPlayer.CharacterAdded as a method that would leave you with no reason to use LoadCharacter() or a server script at all. You don’t need to over complicate things; just use a local script and the method I provided which should work quite flawlessly.
