Turning clothes into a mesh

Help and Feedback Scripting Support

Hey

I was wondering how I could turn clothes into a mesh for a tool.

Thanks

To turn a Roblox shirt or pants into a mesh, you can use the Mesh object in the Roblox API. Here is an example of how you could use it:

  1. Create a new Mesh object as a child of the shirt or pants you want to turn into a mesh.
  2. Use the CreateFromAssetId function of the Mesh object to set the asset ID of the shirt or pants as the mesh’s asset ID.
  3. Set the MeshType property of the Mesh object to Enum.MeshType.FileMesh .
  4. Set the Scale property of the Mesh object to the desired size of the mesh.

Here is an example of how this could look in code:

local shirt = game.Workspace.Shirt
local mesh = Instance.new("Mesh")
mesh.Parent = shirt
mesh.CreateFromAssetId(shirt.AssetId)
mesh.MeshType = Enum.MeshType.FileMesh
mesh.Scale = Vector3.new(1, 1, 1)

Keep in mind that this will only work for shirts and pants that have a mesh asset associated with them. If the shirt or pants only have a texture, this method will not work.

Hi! Thanks for the help but how would I know if clothing has a mesh attached to it?

local shirt = script.Parent
local mesh = shirt.Mesh

if mesh ~= nil then
print(“The shirt has a mesh attached to it”)
else
print(“The shirt does not have a mesh attached to it”)
end

This script would error if shirt.Mesh doesn’t exist. Use local mesh = shirt:FindFirstChildWhichIsA("Mesh") instead. (i’m assuming mesh is a child of the clothing, am i wrong?)
