I am trying to remove every shirt/pants/hats in a character and change the color of their body. Easy, but the problem is that it does not work. Here's the script:

01local player = game.Players.LocalPlayer
02local character = player.Character
03repeat wait() until character
04for i,v in pairs(character:GetChildren()) do
05    if v:IsA("Hat") then
06        v:Destroy()
07        wait()
08    end
09    if v:IsA("Shirt") then
10        v:Destroy()
11        wait()
12    end
13    if v:IsA("Pants") then
14        v:Destroy()
15        wait()
16    end
17    if v:IsA("Part") then
18        if v.Name == "Torso" then
19            v.BrickColor = BrickColor.Black()
20            wait()
21        end
22        if v.Name == "Left Arm" then
23            v.BrickColor = BrickColor.Gray()
24            wait()
25        end
26        if v.Name == "Right Arm" then
27            v.BrickColor = BrickColor.Gray()
28            wait()
29        end
30        if v.Name == "Right Leg" then
31            v.BrickColor = BrickColor.Black()
32            wait()
33        end
34        if v.Name == "Left Leg" then
35            v.BrickColor = BrickColor.Black()
36            wait()
37        end
38        if v.Name == "Head" then
39            v.BrickColor = BrickColor.Gray()
40            wait()
41        end
42    end
43 
44end

In studio it works 1/2 of the time and on a server it does not work at all. Kyokamii 133 — 9y

The Character doesn't load with all of the clothing already set. It loads in a bit after. This script probably works before any of the character's appearance loads, which means the clothes are put on after this clear them.

If you want control over their appearance, just set player.CanLoadCharacterAppearance to false.

Here...Try the script game.Workspace.ChildAdded:connect(function(obj) - if (obj:IsA("Hat")) then
wait(4)
if (obj.Parent == game.Workspace) then obj:Destroy() end end end) That will remove hats for your body color try this but remember to put it in your spawn location brick function onTouch(hit) local humanoid = hit.Parent.Humanoid if humanoid ~= nil then local head = hit.Parent.Head local torso = hit.Parent.Torso local leftleg = hit.Parent:findFirstChild("Left Leg") local rightleg = hit.Parent:findFirstChild("Right Leg") local rightarm = hit.Parent:findFirstChild("Right Arm") local leftarm = hit.Parent:findFirstChild("Left Arm") if head ~= nil then head.BrickColor = BrickColor.new("Bright yellow") if torso ~= nil then torso.BrickColor = BrickColor.new("Bright blue") if leftleg ~= nil then leftleg.BrickColor = BrickColor.new("Dark green") if rightarm ~= nil then rightarm.BrickColor = BrickColor.new("Bright yellow") if leftarm ~= nil then leftarm.BrickColor = BrickColor.new("Bright yellow") if rightleg ~= nil then rightleg.BrickColor = BrickColor.new("Dark green") end end end end end end end end script.Parent.Touched:connect(onTouch)

you can also put this in your spawn location block as a script to remove hats

function onTouched(hit) local d = hit.Parent:GetChildren() for i=1, #d do if (d[i].className == "Hat") then d[i]:remove() end end end

script.Parent.Touched:connect(onTouched)
