Script works in roblox studio but not ingame

Mati14677 · August 25, 2022, 1:15pm

I want to make the roblox avatar blocky. Keep it simple and clear!
The script works in studio but not ingame Include screenshots / videos if possible!
I tried fixing it myself and looking on the dev forum Did you look for solutions on the Developer Hub?

local Players = game.Players

function PlayerJoined(Player)
	local function RemoveMeshes(Character)
		local Humanoid = Character:WaitForChild("Humanoid")
		wait()
		local CurrentDescription = Humanoid:GetAppliedDescription()

		CurrentDescription.Head = 0
		CurrentDescription.Torso = 0
		CurrentDescription.LeftArm = 0
		CurrentDescription.RightArm = 0
		CurrentDescription.LeftLeg = 0
		CurrentDescription.RightLeg = 0
		Humanoid:ApplyDescription(CurrentDescription)
	end
	Player.CharacterAdded:Connect(RemoveMeshes)
end

Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(PlayerJoined)

Mati14677:

local Players = game.Players

function PlayerJoined(Player)
	local function RemoveMeshes(Character)
		local Humanoid = Character:WaitForChild("Humanoid")
		wait()
		local CurrentDescription = Humanoid:GetAppliedDescription()

		CurrentDescription.Head = 0
		CurrentDescription.Torso = 0
		CurrentDescription.LeftArm = 0
		CurrentDescription.RightArm = 0
		CurrentDescription.LeftLeg = 0
		CurrentDescription.RightLeg = 0
		Humanoid:ApplyDescription(CurrentDescription)
	end
	Player.CharacterAdded:Connect(RemoveMeshes)
end

Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(PlayerJoined)

So the reason this sometimes doesn’t work is because the actual “CharacterAdded” event doesn’t fire. Now there are ways to fix this but there’s an easier solution

Put this in a script inside of “StarterCharacterScripts”

repeat wait() until script.Parent
local Character = script.Parent
local Humanoid = Character:WaitForChild("Humanoid")
wait()
local CurrentDescription = Humanoid:GetAppliedDescription()

CurrentDescription.Head = 0
CurrentDescription.Torso = 0
CurrentDescription.LeftArm = 0
CurrentDescription.RightArm = 0
CurrentDescription.LeftLeg = 0
CurrentDescription.RightLeg = 0
print("Done")
Humanoid:ApplyDescription(CurrentDescription)

If you want to keep your original script then do this

local Players = game.Players

local function RemoveMeshes(Character)
		local Humanoid = Character:WaitForChild("Humanoid")
		wait()
		local CurrentDescription = Humanoid:GetAppliedDescription()

		CurrentDescription.Head = 0
		CurrentDescription.Torso = 0
		CurrentDescription.LeftArm = 0
		CurrentDescription.RightArm = 0
		CurrentDescription.LeftLeg = 0
		CurrentDescription.RightLeg = 0
		Humanoid:ApplyDescription(CurrentDescription)
	end
function PlayerJoined(Player)
	RemoveMeshes(player.Character or player.CharacterAdded:Wait())
end

Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(PlayerJoined)

I have no idea why but it doesnt work everytime i reset it still brings me back to the original body parts, And it also prints “Done” as you added in the script

StraightScared · August 25, 2022, 1:30pm

Have you tried the script I suggested inside StarterCharacterScripts?

Mati14677 · August 25, 2022, 1:31pm

Yes i put it in StarterCharacterScripts

StraightScared · August 25, 2022, 1:32pm

I made an edit to the script, try adding it again

repeat wait() until script.Parent
local Character = script.Parent
local Humanoid = Character:WaitForChild("Humanoid")
wait()
local CurrentDescription = Humanoid:GetAppliedDescription()

CurrentDescription.Head = 0
CurrentDescription.Torso = 0
CurrentDescription.LeftArm = 0
CurrentDescription.RightArm = 0
CurrentDescription.LeftLeg = 0
CurrentDescription.RightLeg = 0
print("Done")
Humanoid:ApplyDescription(CurrentDescription)

Mati14677 · August 25, 2022, 1:34pm

Nope the script still doesnt work

Mati14677 · August 25, 2022, 1:38pm

i think i found an event named CharacterAppearenceLoaded Maybe that would work

Mati14677 · August 25, 2022, 1:43pm

I remade the entire script to this and now it works

game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(Plr)
 Plr.CharacterAppearanceLoaded:Connect(function(Chr)
  for _,child in pairs(Chr:GetChildren()) do
   if child:IsA("CharacterMesh") then
    child:Destroy()
   end
  end
 end)
end)

local Meshes = {"Head","Torso","LeftArm","RightArm","LeftLeg","RightLeg"}

--Listen for player added
game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(Player)
	--Listen for character added
	Player.CharacterAdded:Connect(function(Character)
		--Get the humanoid and a copy of the humanoid description
		local Humanoid = Character:WaitForChild("Humanoid")
		Humanoid:WaitForChild("HumanoidDescription")
		local HumanoidDescription = Humanoid:GetAppliedDescription()
		
		--Set all the bodyparts to 0
		for _,v in Meshes do HumanoidDescription[v] = 0 end
		
		--Apply the change once the character is parented to the datamodel
		Character:GetPropertyChangedSignal("Parent"):Once(function()
			Humanoid:ApplyDescription(HumanoidDescription)
		end)
	end)
end)

Characters can also contain MeshParts to allow them to be “unblocky” without having any CharacterMesh objects inside them, so this code will not always work.

game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(Plr)
	print("Player added")
	Plr.CharacterAppearanceLoaded:Connect(function(Chr)
		print("Apperance loaded")
		for _,child in pairs(Chr:GetChildren()) do
			if child:IsA("CharacterMesh") then
				print("Character Mesh Destroyed")
				child:Destroy()
			end
		end
	end)
end)

Mati14677 · August 25, 2022, 1:53pm

So sometimes it can glitch out?

wf_sh · August 25, 2022, 1:54pm

It will sometimes not work as players can infact be unblocky without having any character meshes inside of them, the code I posted should avoid that issue.

Mati14677 · August 25, 2022, 1:58pm

Your script doesnt work now too and it prints an error??

wf_sh · August 25, 2022, 1:58pm

Mind telling me the outputted error?

Mati14677 · August 25, 2022, 1:59pm

Humanoid::ApplyDescription() DataModel was not available - Server - Script:17

wf_sh · August 25, 2022, 2:06pm

Weird. Tell me if this code works

local Meshes = {"Head","Torso","LeftArm","RightArm","LeftLeg","RightLeg"}

game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(Player)
	Player.CharacterAdded:Connect(function(Character)
		local Humanoid = Character:WaitForChild("Humanoid")
		Humanoid:WaitForChild("HumanoidDescription")
		local HumanoidDescription = Humanoid:GetAppliedDescription()
		
		for _,v in Meshes do HumanoidDescription[v] = 0 end
		
		local Connection = nil
		Connection = Character:GetPropertyChangedSignal("Parent"):Connect(function()
			if Character.Parent then
				Connection:Disconnect()
				Humanoid:ApplyDescription(HumanoidDescription)
			end
		end)
	end)
end)

Mati14677 · August 25, 2022, 2:09pm

Nope the code doesnt work i think im going to stick to the other code

wf_sh · August 25, 2022, 2:09pm

Not sure why it wont work, sorry for bothering

Forummer · August 25, 2022, 6:30pm

local Enumeration = Enum
local Game = game
local Players = Game:GetService("Players")

local function Default(Humanoid, HumanoidDescription)
	for _, BodyPart in ipairs(Enumeration.BodyPart:GetEnumItems()) do
		HumanoidDescription[BodyPart.Name] = 0
	end
	Humanoid:ApplyDescription(HumanoidDescription)
end

local function OnPlayerAdded(Player)
	local function OnCharacterAdded(Character)
		if not (Player:HasAppearanceLoaded()) then Player.CharacterAppearanceLoaded:Wait() end
		local Humanoid = Character:FindFirstChild("Humanoid") or Character:WaitForChild("Humanoid", 10)
		if not Humanoid then return end
		local HumanoidDescription = Humanoid:GetAppliedDescription()
		task.defer(Default, Humanoid, HumanoidDescription)
	end
	
	Player.CharacterAdded:Connect(OnCharacterAdded)
end

Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(OnPlayerAdded)

This works.
