This code is used in a character select menu to chose the hair you want on your character, but when the hair clones it just falls into the void.
local button = script.Parent
local function onButtonActivated()
game:GetService('Players').LocalPlayer:WaitForChild('PlayerGui')
local hair = game.Lighting.Hair.Hair01:Clone()
local char = game.Workspace.Intro.Char
hair:clone().Parent = char
end
button.Activated:Connect(onButtonActivated)
You need to attach the hair somehow. I haven't done this myself, but if char is a character with a Humanoid, this might work:
local function onButtonActivated()
game:GetService('Players').LocalPlayer:WaitForChild('PlayerGui')
local hair = game.Lighting.Hair.Hair01:Clone()
local hairClone = hair:Clone()
local char = game.Workspace.Intro.Char
hairClone.Parent = char
char.Humanoid:AddAccessory(hairClone)
end
I'm not entirely sure why you would need to clone it twice though, so this could also work:
local function onButtonActivated()
game:GetService('Players').LocalPlayer:WaitForChild('PlayerGui')
local hair = game.Lighting.Hair.Hair01:Clone()
local char = game.Workspace.Intro.Char
hair.Parent = char
char.Humanoid:AddAccessory(hair)
end
Edit: It seems like you might not even need to set the hair's parent, since that seems to be included in the AddAccessory function.
Edit 2: Apparently you can't set its parent before using AddAccessory. Also, this needs to be done in a regular script, not a local script. So if you're using a local script, use a RemoteEvent.
Edit 3: Here is a local script that worked for me:
local Button = script.Parent
local function onButtonActivated()
game:GetService('Players').LocalPlayer:WaitForChild('PlayerGui')
local hair = game.Lighting.Hair.Hair01:Clone()
local char = game.Workspace.Intro.Char
hair.Parent = char
local weld = Instance.new("Weld")
weld.Parent = hair.Handle
weld.Part0 = hair.Handle
weld.Part1 = char.Head
weld.C0 = hair.Handle.CFrame
weld.C1 = char.Head.CFrame
hair.Handle.Position = hair.Handle.Position + Vector3.new(0,0.7,0)
end
Button.Activated:Connect(onButtonActivated)
I changed the position by 0.7, cause for some reason the hat I tested it with had to be offset that amount. Idk if you're supposed to change the position of the Handle or the Mesh though, but at least it attaches now.

Doesn't work for me
I'm pretty sure I figured out the problem. Do you have it in a local script or a regular script? Cause it only seems to work in local scripts. Also, apparenlty you cannot set the hair's parent before using AddAccessory, or else it will give an error.
Oops. I meant to say it only works in regular scripts.
Yeah it is in a local script
However, I only want the hair to show up for the person who clicks the button, so how do I go about doing that?
Then you can't use AddAccessory, but you could probably just create a weld. I'm gonna test it, and then edit my answer with the code that works.
It also seems like you could use weld.C1 = char.Head.CFrame + Vector3.new(0,0.7,0) to change the position instead.
