Putting Charactermesh on player?

Hi guys! I am trying to create a script that checks if the players is on the bright blue team and if they are then removes a charactermesh and replaces it with one from the workspace...although it isn't quite working or complete - any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks :)

This is what I have so far, although it doesn't remove the old charactermesh and doesn't work :D

local TeamColor = BrickColor.new("Bright blue") 

local Player = game:GetService("Players").LocalPlayer
local function Check()

local mesh = game.Workspace.AgentLeftArm:Clone()
mesh.Parent = Player

end Player.Changed:connect(Check)

If you provide the output, if any, that could really help us help you! Also, is this a local script?

Yes, this is a localscript - and I don't seem to be getting any output :(

✓ Accepted answer

What you have set up right now inserts a new clone of AgentLeftArm in Workspace every time ANY property of the Player is changed. You are looking to see if a specific property [TeamColor] is changed to a specific value [BrickColor.new("Bright blue")].

local player = game.Players.LocalPlayer
local teamColor = BrickColor.new("Bright blue")

player.Changed:connect(function(property)
	if property == "TeamColor" then
		if player.TeamColor == teamColor then
			local mesh = game.Workspace.AgentLeftArm:Clone()
			mesh.Parent = player.Character
			-- What ever else you want here
		end
	end
end)

But if I character respawns, the TeamColor property doesn't change. If you want to insert it into the character if it spawns in on the Bright blue Team then you'll need to have a CharacterAdded function as well.

local player = game.Players.LocalPlayer
local teamColor = BrickColor.new("Bright blue")

player.CharacterAdded:connect(function()
	if player.TeamColor == teamColor then
		repeat wait() until character:FindFirstChild("Humanoid")
		local mesh = game.Workspace.AgentLeftArm:Clone()
		mesh.Parent = player.Character
		-- What ever else you want here
	end	
end)

player.Changed:connect(function(property)
	if property == "TeamColor" then
		if player.TeamColor == teamColor then
			local mesh = game.Workspace.AgentLeftArm:Clone()
			mesh.Parent = player.Character
			-- What ever else you want here
		end
	end
end)

EDIT FIXED

local teamColor = BrickColor.new("Bright blue")

game.Players.PlayerAdded:connect(function(player)
	player.CharacterAdded:connect(function(character)
		if player.TeamColor == teamColor then
			repeat wait() until character:FindFirstChild("Humanoid")
			local mesh = game.Workspace.AgentLeftArm:Clone()
			mesh.Parent = character
			-- What ever else you want here
		end	
	end)
	
	player.Changed:connect(function(property)
		if property == "TeamColor" then
			if player.TeamColor == teamColor then
				local mesh = game.Workspace.AgentLeftArm:Clone()
				mesh.Parent = player.Character
				-- What ever else you want here
			end
		end
	end)
end)

Thank you SO much :) Just a question - where would you put this script?

AnonymousJan 28, 2015#

Looking over this now, I would suggest putting this in a regular script: See the edit.

Thanks! A regular script just in the workspace? Or in the players starterpack?

In the Workspace or ServerScriptStorage, which ever your preference.

Thanks, but it still doesn't work? Maybe we have to destroy the current Charactermesh that is on the player first?? :)

Yeah that is someone you'd need to do, put all the personalized stuff at the 'What ever else you want here' spot

As a note, testing this is Test mode will not work unless you open up a test server as the player loads before the script does.

Whoops, the mesh is being parented to the player not the character, did look over your code good enough
