Using InsertService to insert Items

DevAxits · January 4, 2023, 9:22pm

Hello developers! Today i’m going to be teaching you a simple script using InsertService, then we will use the item imported to give a certain player or everyone a hat.

All right, so first up we need to Insert our item using the “InsertService”. Steps below:

Locate the "Run A Command" bar at the bottom of roblox studio. Image in here if needed.

Insert the following code in Run to use InsertService

local id = 000000 --replace with your item ID
game:GetService("InsertService"):LoadAsset(id).Parent = workspace

Now your item will be inserted, so let’s use it for something!

All Players

In this section we will make a ServerScriptService script that gives everyone the item you inserted

Steps:
1: Ungroup your item
2: Drag the accessory into "ServerStorage"
3: Rename the accessory to “Hat” should look like the image below:

4: Paste this code in a script in ServerScriptService (Name the script anything)

local players = game:GetService("Players")
local serverStorage = game:GetService("ServerStorage")

players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(player)

	player.CharacterAdded:Connect(function(character)
		local hat = serverStorage:WaitForChild("Hat") -- Hat were cloning into the player
			local clone = hat:Clone()
			clone.Parent = character
 end)
end)

Certain Players

In this section we will make a ServerScriptService script that gives certain players the item you inserted.

Steps:
1: Ungroup your item
2: Drag the accessory into "ServerStorage"
3: Rename the accessory to “Hat” should look like the image below:

4: Paste this code in a script in ServerScriptService (Name the script anything)

local players = game:GetService("Players")
local serverStorage = game:GetService("ServerStorage")

local users = {
	0000000000, -- User ID's (you can add more but make sure to add a comma until last one.)
    0000000000
}

local isAllowed = function(player, tab)
	for i, v in pairs(tab) do
		if player.UserId == v then return true end
	end
	return false
end

players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(player)

	player.CharacterAdded:Connect(function(character)
		local hat = serverStorage:WaitForChild("Hat") -- The hat were cloning into the player
		if isAllowed(player, users) then
			local clone = hat:Clone()
			clone.Parent = character
		end
	end)

end)
