How to make a face changer gui button?

Asked by

5 years ago

Ok, so, I'm making a customize option for my game, and it includes a face changer GUI. I'm using a custom "StarterCharacter." On the dummy I put a custom face, and named it accordingly. I tested and found this script worked.

function onTouch(part)

local humanoid = part.Parent:FindFirstChild("Humanoid")

if (humanoid ~= nil) then -- if a humanoid exists, then

humanoid.Parent.Head.face.Texture = script.Parent.Decal.Texture

end

script.Parent.Touched:connect(onTouch)

Instead of a part being touched though, its a GUI button that will be clicked to change the players face. This is one script I tried, but didn't work.

local humanoid = game.Player.LocalPlayer.Character

script.Parent.MouseButton1Click:Connect(function()
humainoid.Head.face:Destroy()
humainoid.Head.face.Texture = "rbxassetid//10907551"
end)

Any help why this isn't working? I'm new to Roblox Studio, so I'm still learning, bear in mind that when you see my bad scripting skills :P

Ok, so i think your issue is that you're setting humanoid's value to a character that doesn't yet exist (meaning your trying to get the character before it's even loaded in), a way to fix this would be to change the first line to:

local Humanoid = game.Players.LocalPlayer.Character or game.Players.LocalPlayer.CharacterAdded:Wait()

however, if you're looking to make the face show for everyone else in the server you'll have to know how to use RemoteEvents if you're making a single player game you can use the above method, if you're making a multiplayer game however, i'd reccomend learning Roblox Studio some more before attempting to unerstanding, if you don't wanna wait that long, you can always search the roblox API Reference for RemoteEvents an you'll get more info there.

that line of code is all to be put on a single line by the way FlabbyBoiii 81 — 5y

So, this would work for only if one person is in the game? It's a multiplayer game so I guess I try RemoteEvents. I do, however, have a little understanding how to use RemoteEvents. Mrmonkeyman120 65 — 5y

no problem by the way (I haven't been here in ages), and I've just realised how cringey I was just seven months ago. Hope you got there in the end :) FlabbyBoiii 81 — 5y
