Making it so all players can see changes to a player's character(FE)?

Asked 346 views1 answers

I recently made my game FilteringEnabled. I have a character creation GUI in the beginning of the game when a player joins and it changes the characters face, shirt, pants, etc. Before Filtering, all players could see the changes done (shirts changing, pants changing, etc). But after Filtering, only the localplayer sees the items being changed on his/her character. 

local player = game.Players.LocalPlayer
local Character = player.Character
if not Character or not Character.Parent then
    Character = player.CharacterAdded:wait()
end


script.Parent.MouseButton1Down:connect(function()
	local Head = Character.Head
    local BodyColors = Character:FindFirstChild("Body Colors")
    local Shirt = Character:FindFirstChild("Shirt")
    local Pants = Character:FindFirstChild("Pants")
	if Shirt then
		Shirt.ShirtTemplate = "rbxassetid://629730174"
	else
		local Shirt = Instance.new("Shirt", Character)
        Shirt.ShirtTemplate = "rbxassetid://629730174"
	end
	if Pants then
		Pants.PantsTemplate = "rbxassetid://629736312"
	else
		local Pants = Instance.new("Pants", Character)
        Pants.PantsTemplate = "rbxassetid://629736312"
	end
	for i,v in pairs(Character:GetChildren()) do
		if v.ClassName == "Accessory" then
			v:Destroy()
		end
	end
	for i,v in pairs(Character:GetChildren()) do
		if v.ClassName == "Hat" then
			v:Destroy()
		end
	end
	--local hat = game.ReplicatedStorage.NerdHair:Clone()
	--hat.Parent = Character
	local ReplicatedStorage = game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage")
	local WallyHat = ReplicatedStorage.Remote.WallyHat
	WallyHat:FireServer()
	Head.face.Texture = "rbxassetid://144763383"
    BodyColors.RightArmColor = BrickColor.new("Reddish brown")
    BodyColors.LeftArmColor = BrickColor.new("Reddish brown")
    BodyColors.LeftLegColor = BrickColor.new("Reddish brown")
    BodyColors.RightLegColor = BrickColor.new("Reddish brown")
    BodyColors.TorsoColor = BrickColor.new("Reddish brown")
    BodyColors.HeadColor = BrickColor.new("Reddish brown")
	local c = Character:FindFirstChild("TheFlash")
	if c then
		c:Destroy()
	end
	Character.Zoom:Destroy()
	Character.ReverseFlash:Destroy()
	Character.BlackFlash:Destroy()
	local t = game:GetService('UserInputService').TouchEnabled
	if t == true then
	player.PlayerGui.Teleport.Minus.Visible = true
	player.PlayerGui.Teleport.Plus.Visible = true
	player.PlayerGui.Teleport.Walkspeed.Visible = true
else
	player.PlayerGui.ControlHUD.Frame.Visible = true
	script.Parent.Parent.Parent.Parent:Destroy()
end
end)

I'm not sure but I think I would need to use a RemoteEvent and use FireAllClients(). Can someone point me in the right direction?

FilteringEnabled can be tricky, but you can't change anything in a LocalScript without it being local. You need to use a server script, RemoteEvents, and FireServer.

Put this in a server script in ServerScriptService:

local Event = Instance.new("RemoteEvent")
Event.Name = "ChangeShirt"
Event.Parent = game.ReplicatedStorage

local Event2 = Instance.new("RemoteEvent")
Event2.Name = "ChangePants"
Event2.Parent = game.ReplicatedStorage

local Event3 = Instance.new("RemoteEvent")
Event3.Name = "ChangeBodyColors"
Event3.Parent = game.ReplicatedStorage

Event.OnServerEvent:connect(function(plr, id, shirt)
	if shirt ~= nil then
		shirt.ShirtTemplate = id
	else
		shirt = Instance.new("Shirt", plr.Character)
		shirt.ShirtTemplate = id
	end

	for i,v in pairs(plr.Character:GetChildren()) do
		if v.ClassName == "Accessory" then
			v:Destroy()
		end
	end

	for i,v in pairs(plr.Character:GetChildren()) do
        	if v.ClassName == "Hat" then
            		v:Destroy()
        	end
   	end
end)

Event2.OnServerEvent:connect(function(plr, id, pants)
	if pants ~= nil then
		pants.PantsTemplate = id
	else
		pants = Instance.new("Pants", plr.Character)
		pants.PantsTemplate = id
	end
end)

Event3.OnServerEvent:connect(function(plr)
	plr.Character.Head.face.Texture = "rbxassetid://144763383"
	if plr.Character:FindFirstChild("Body Colors") ~= nil then
		local BodyColors = plr.Character:FindFirstChild("Body Colors")
    		BodyColors.RightArmColor = BrickColor.new("Reddish brown")
    		BodyColors.LeftArmColor = BrickColor.new("Reddish brown")
    		BodyColors.LeftLegColor = BrickColor.new("Reddish brown")
    		BodyColors.RightLegColor = BrickColor.new("Reddish brown")
    		BodyColors.TorsoColor = BrickColor.new("Reddish brown")
    		BodyColors.HeadColor = BrickColor.new("Reddish brown")
	end
    	local c = plr.Character:FindFirstChild("TheFlash")
    	if c then
        	c:Destroy()
    	end
   	plr.Character.Zoom:Destroy()
   	plr.Character.ReverseFlash:Destroy()
    	plr.Character.BlackFlash:Destroy()
end)

Now this should be your LocalScript:

local player = game.Players.LocalPlayer
local Character = player.Character
if not Character or not Character.Parent then
    Character = player.CharacterAdded:wait()
end

local ChangeShirt = game.ReplicatedStorage:WaitForChild("ChangeShirt")
local ChangePants = game.ReplicatedStorage:WaitForChild("ChangePants")
local ChangeColors = game.ReplicatedStorage:WaitForChild("ChangeBodyColors")
 
script.Parent.MouseButton1Down:connect(function()
    local Head = Character.Head
    local BodyColors = Character:FindFirstChild("Body Colors")
    local Shirt = Character:FindFirstChild("Shirt")
    local Pants = Character:FindFirstChild("Pants")
    if Shirt then
        ChangeShirt:FireServer("rbxassetid://629730174",Shirt)
    else
        ChangeShirt:FireServer("rbxassetid://629730174")
    end
    if Pants then
        ChangePants:FireServer("rbxassetid://629736312",Pants)
    else
        ChangePants:FireServer("rbxassetid://629736312")
    end
    --local hat = game.ReplicatedStorage.NerdHair:Clone()
    --hat.Parent = Character
    local ReplicatedStorage = game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage")
    local WallyHat = ReplicatedStorage.Remote.WallyHat
    WallyHat:FireServer()
    ChangeColors:FireServer()
    local t = game:GetService('UserInputService').TouchEnabled
    if t == true then
    player.PlayerGui.Teleport.Minus.Visible = true
    player.PlayerGui.Teleport.Plus.Visible = true
    player.PlayerGui.Teleport.Walkspeed.Visible = true
else
    player.PlayerGui.ControlHUD.Frame.Visible = true
    script.Parent.Parent.Parent.Parent:Destroy()
end
end)

This should all (in theory) work as you want, if anything goes wrong feel free to comment and I'll try to respond as quick as possible.
