Owner character changer wont work. How do I fix this?
I work for this small cafe as a developer, and the owner wanted me to make this weird script that made his whole body neon and red when he joined the game. What happens is that when I went on a test game, it didn't work, and yes I put my name in the local variable owner.
Here's the script:
while true do wait(1) local owner = "owner's name" local ownerfind = game.Workspace:FindFirstChild(owner) if ownerfind then ownerfind.Head.BrickColor = BrickColor.new("Really red") ownerfind.Head.Mesh:Destroy() ownerfind.Head.Material = "Neon" local hatdelete = game.Workspace.owner:FindFirstChildWhichIsA("Accessory") if hatdelete then hatdelete:Destroy() hatdelete:Destroy() hatdelete:Destroy() end ownerfind["Left Arm"].BrickColor = BrickColor.new("Really red") ownerfind["Left Arm"].Material = "Neon" ownerfind["Right Arm"].BrickColor = BrickColor.new("Really red") ownerfind["Right Arm"].Material = "Neon" ownerfind["Left Leg"].BrickColor = BrickColor.new("Really red") ownerfind["Left Leg"].Material = "Neon" ownerfind["Right Leg"].BrickColor = BrickColor.new("Really red") ownerfind["Right Leg"].Material = "Neon" ownerfind["Torso"].BrickColor = BrickColor.new("Really red") ownerfind["Torso"].Material = "Neon" end end

Here is a simple thing I put together.
local owner = "ForeverBrown"
game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(player)
if player.Name == owner then
player.CharacterAppearanceLoaded:Connect(function(character)
for i,v in pairs(character:GetChildren())do
if v:IsA("Accessory") or v:IsA("Pants") or v:IsA("Shirt") or v:IsA("BodyColors") then print('removed') v:Destroy() end
if v:IsA("MeshPart") or v:IsA("Part") then
v.BrickColor = BrickColor.new("Really red")
v.Material = Enum.Material.Neon
end
end
end)
end
end)
This will account for both R6 and R15 rigs and will likely support any rig Roblox throws at us in the future.

There's gonna be alot of things I might talk about.
Please consider opening the output in the view tab.
Line 9. Use workspace[owner] because even if owner is a variable, indexing workspace with a period means workspace should return an instance with the name "owner", which there isn't.
Using brackets to index is different. Here's a comparison.
local a=workspace.Terrain; local b=workapace['Terrain']; print(a==b);--true
Notice how I can use a string and brackets to get terrain. That means any string in those brackets is what shall workspace return based from name. So if I wanna get a part named "Part Part", I can't use workspace.Part Part because it can be misinterpreted as two different statements. Therefore I would use a bracket and a string. workspace['Part Part']
