How do I revert a changed userId back to original userId?
hello, I'm trying to make a script that when a sword hits you, your character turns into a certain players character through userid, I have all that working but after a certain amount of time I want the player to change back to their original character/userid but I can't figure out how to do that. any help would be appreciated
debounce = true
game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(player)
script.Parent.Touched:Connect(function()
if debounce == true then
debounce = false
player.CharacterAppearanceId = 261
player:LoadCharacter()
debounce = true
end
end)
end)

Before changing their id. Save their previous appearance id. Maybe that works Soban06 410 — 3y

Well, you can just create a NumberValue and put it in Folder in ServerStorage on Player join. You can name it as the player's name and its value a the player's UserId. And on player remove, you can delete that NumberValue. Here's an example, that you can use:
--//Functions
local function PlayerJoin(player)
if game.ServerStorage:FindFirstChild(player.Name) then return end -- A double check 'if' statement whether the player name already existed in ServerStorage
local NumValue = Instance.new("NumberValue") -- Creating a NumberValue
NumValue.Parent = game.ServerStorage.Folder -- Parenting it to the Folder in Server Storage
NumValue.Value = player.CharacterAppearanceId -- Setting its Value to the player's appearance ID
-- NumValue.Value = player.UserId [If you really want to get the original player's character appearance, then get the player's UserId]
NumValue.Name = player.Name -- Setting its Name to player's name
end
local function PlayerLeave(player)
if game.ServerStorage.Folder:FindFirstChild(player.Name) then -- Checking whether the NumberValue have the player's name who is leaving
local plr = game.ServerStorage.Folder:FindFirstChild(player.Name) -- Assigning a variable for easiness
plr:Destroy() -- Deleting the Value
end
end
--//Main
game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(PlayerJoin)
game.Players.PlayerRemoving:Connect(PlayerLeave)
And now you have a method to get the original player's UserId, then you can change the player's character to back to original.
Lemme know if it helps!

Alternatively, if you're only working with CharacterAppearanceId, setting this value to 0 will automatically use the default appearance for a player. Optikk 499 — 3y
