Trouble getting and using the players avater from their userid

Help and Feedback Scripting Support
#1

im trying to make a skibidi toilet game (i know its a dead trend but i felt like it) where when you spawn it the toilet can have your avatars accessories and head coloring

my main issue would be that im trying to get the players avatar from their userid and its not working, i cant do player.character because i made the toilet their starter character

ive looked though out the dev forum and YouTube but no posts or videos helped with my problem

local sc = script.Parent
local neck = sc:FindFirstChild("neck")
local head = sc:FindFirstChild("Head")
local face = head:FindFirstChild("Face")

game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(plr)
	local userid = plr.UserId
	local avatarmodel = game.Players:GetCharacterAppearanceAsync(userid)
	head.Color = avatarmodel:FindFirstChild("Head").Color
	neck.Color = avatarmodel:FindFirstChild("Head").Color
	face.Texture = avatarmodel:FindFirstChild("Head"):FindFirstChild("Face").Texture
	if avatarmodel:FindFirstChildWhichIsA("Hat") then
		local hat = avatarmodel:FindFirstChildWhichIsA("Hat")
		hat.Parent = sc
	end
end)

You are using a deprecated method.
Try utilizing the :GetCharacterAppearanceInfoAsync method.
You can view what is returned to you via printing the table it provides back to you.

Here is the documentation for it:
:GetCharacterAppearanceInfoAsync

Also here is a slight demo that uses the body colors:

game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(plr)
	
	local userid = plr.UserId
	local avatarInfo = game.Players:GetCharacterAppearanceInfoAsync(userid)
	
	head.Color = BrickColor.new(avatarInfo.bodyColors["headColorId"])
	neck.Color = BrickColor.new(avatarInfo.bodyColors["torsoColorId"])

end)

nvm i read the document you attached and it showed how to do this but i still cant get the colors to work for some reason

my script

local sc = script.Parent
local neck = sc:FindFirstChild("neck")
local head = sc:FindFirstChild("Head")
local bchead = sc:FindFirstChild("BodyColors").HeadColor
local face = head:FindFirstChild("Face")

game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(plr)
	local userid = plr.UserId
	local avatarinfo = game.Players:GetCharacterAppearanceInfoAsync(userid)
	print(avatarinfo.BodyColors["HeadColor"])
	bchead.Color = BrickColor.new(avatarinfo.BodyColors["headColorId"])
	head.BrickColor = BrickColor.new(avatarinfo.BodyColors["headColorId"])
	neck.BrickColor = BrickColor.new(avatarinfo.BodyColors["headColorId"])
	--face.Texture = avatarinfo:FindFirstChild("Head"):FindFirstChild("Face").Texture
	--if avatarinfo:FindFirstChildWhichIsA("Hat") then
		--local hat = avatarinfo:FindFirstChildWhichIsA("Hat")
		--hat.Parent = sc
	--end
end)

Is this a LocalScript or server Script?

Edit:

You are attempting to set a color to an id number of a BrickColor, try adding .Color at the end of BrickColor.new(avatarinfo.BodyColors["headColorId"]).

its a serverscript, the originial problem was that the script was located in the character. i moved it to serverscriptservice and now it does stuff but i get this error

Open the table that it is providing you when printed out. I’m not quite sure how it could be returning “nil” unless the value is not being provided(which shouldn’t happen). Try what I said in my previous response in regards to adding .Color and see if that fixes it.

im having trouble grabbing a specific accessory because they are numbered, would there be a way to check if its face accessory without knowing the number

You could create a “for loop” for the “assets” key which checks the assetType.name and checks if it is equal to “Face” and/or whatever other assets you need.

i made this script which works perfectly for what im trying to do
and i can change it from face to hat if i wanted to do get an accessory

for i,asset in pairs(avatarinfo["assets"]) do
			if asset["assetType"] then
				local assetType = asset["assetType"]
				if assetType["name"] == "Face" then
					local faceId = asset["id"]
					local faceAsset = insertservice:LoadAsset(faceId)
					faceId = faceAsset.face.Texture
					faceAsset:Destroy()
					face.Texture = faceId
				end
			end
		end

In a player’s character, the standard face texture is named ‘face’ not ‘Face’

im having a problem where im loading in the accessories and getting them on the avatar but some of them are fitted wrong, is there a way to fix this or do i have to deal with it

Since its a custom StarterCharacter, I believe you are gonna have to handle the logic with that or just leave it be.
