Why is ROBLOX detecting my textbox text to always be the same?

Asked by

I am making a game that includes having people type in a username, and it loads that username's avatar onto a dummy. Here's the following code:

view source
01script.Parent.MouseButton1Click:Connect(function()
02    local PlrName = game.Players:GetUserIdFromNameAsync(script.Parent.Parent.NameBox.Text)
03 
04    local Guy = game.Players:CreateHumanoidModelFromUserId(PlrName)
05 
06    game.Workspace.Dummy.Head.face.Texture = Guy.Head.face.Texture
07 
08    for i, v in pairs(Guy:GetChildren()) do
09        if v:IsA("Clothing") or v:IsA("BodyColors") or v:IsA("Accessory") then
10            v.Parent = game.Workspace.Dummy
11        end
12    end
13end)

I also will show the gui it holds:

Whenever I use this, it shows me an error saying that the username is incorrect. I did some digging around, and found out it's only locking the text when you first run the game. I figured this out by making the text a username, for example "ROBLOX" before running the game. And it worked. Anyone have an idea for how to help?

Thanks!

Instead of using MouseButton1Click, it will fire the function when you click, you do FocusLost, which will fire when the player stops typing.

You should also consider making a error check when you try to create the humanoid model too because sometimes a player's avatar doesn't exist or one of the player accessory doesn't exist, it will error (I'm not sure)

I figured out my error, I changed it to a localscript and it worked, but the player accessories fall out of the dummy. Any help? Cyber_gamer91 -3 — 3y
