So I recently made this script where a player's avatar changes upon entering the game. However, I want it to be where the avatar only changes upon the selection of a team. For example: Once a player joins the game, their character will be their normal selves. However, once they have selected a team, their avatar will change (shirt, pants, and hats) to the team they chose. So if they chose the "soldier" team, they will be wearing soldier apparel, but if they chose "civilian" they'd have civilian clothing.

How would I make a player's avatar change upon team selection?

There are multiple ways to do this. For the purpose of this, I will explain one way, and you can try to discover the rest based on this.
Note: This way will require an additional 2 random NBC accounts that the players will look like
First, let us set up our variables we will be using
-- Teams
teamCiv = game.Teams["Team Name for Civilian"]
teamSol = game.Teams["Soldier Team"]
-- Player IDs
CivID = "The Civilian dressed users ID here"
SoldierID = "The Soldier dressed users ID here"
Now that we have that, let's create a function for each team, to change the Player's CharacterAppearance
function changeCiv(player)
player.CharacterAppearance = "http://www.roblox.com/Asset/CharacterFetch.ashx?userId=" ..CivID
end
function changeSol(player)
player.CharacterAppearance = "http://www.roblox.com/Asset/CharacterFetch.ashx?userId=" ..SoldierID
end
Now that we have our functions, we can move on and figure our when we need to fire. We can do this first connect a PlayerAdded and a Changed event.
game.Players.PlayerAdded:connect(function (newPlayer)
newPlayer.Changed:connect(function ()
if newPlayer.TeamColor == teamCiv.TeamColor then
changeCiv(newPlayer)
elseif newPlayer.TeamColor == teamSol.TeamColor then
changeSol(newPlayer)
end
end)
end)
Now let's put this all together:
-- Teams
teamCiv = game.Teams["Team Name for Civilian"]
teamSol = game.Teams["Soldier Team"]
-- Player IDs
CivID = "The Civilian dressed users ID here"
SoldierID = "The Soldier dressed users ID here"
function changeCiv(player)
player.CharacterAppearance = "http://www.roblox.com/Asset/CharacterFetch.ashx?userId=" ..CivID
end
function changeSol(player)
player.CharacterAppearance = "http://www.roblox.com/Asset/CharacterFetch.ashx?userId=" ..SoldierID
end
game.Players.PlayerAdded:connect(function (newPlayer)
newPlayer.Changed:connect(function ()
if newPlayer.TeamColor == teamCiv.TeamColor then
changeCiv(newPlayer)
elseif newPlayer.TeamColor == teamSol.TeamColor then
changeSol(newPlayer)
end
end)
end)
NOTE: This is by far very inefficient, but it is the easiest way for me to explain to you a possible route. I recommend doing some more research and trying to do it yourself. Furthermore, this script was free written with no testing, so I apologize for mistakes that are bound to be here.

(Assuming the team selection is using textbuttons) Make your script so when a player clicks the textbutton, then they would be changed depending on what team they chose.
I do not know the location of where you keep your clothes, so fill them in yourself on the first few lines. (BTW, this is for both teams, so just duplicate the script and configure them, and put them in the textbuttons.
ShirtID = PutShirtID
PantsID = PutPantsID
script.Parent.MouseButton1Click:connect(function()
Shirt = Instance.new("Shirt")
Pants = Instance.new("Pants")
Shirt.Parent = script.Parent.Parent.Parent.Parent.Character -- Button must be directly under GUI. Not under a frame, or anything else.
Pants.Parent = script.Parent.Parent.Parent.Parent.Character
Shirt.ShirtTemplate = "http://www.roblox.com/asset/?id="..ShirtID
Pants.PantsTemplate = "http://www.roblox.com/asset/?id="..PantsID
end)
Please accept answer if it worked!

Works for shirts, thanks! But what do I do for hats?

Thanks for the help, I kinda get the idea now. I'm going to try to make a script myself after reading this. Thanks again!
Glad I could help. Best of luck to you and your development.
