The problem: The Humanoid displays the correct information yet "Enum.Material.Air" is constantly being printed. Only occurs after a morph. Any solutions? I don't believe using this method to check if the player is grounded is mandatory, I just need a reliable system to know when the player is on the ground so lmk if there's a more effective way to do this.

broken gale The problem: The Humanoid displays the correct information yet "Enum.Material.Ai...

check with a raycast

#

if your character is in the air or not

broken gale May 10, 2025, 7:13 AM

#

yo you're so right

elfin solstice May 10, 2025, 7:14 AM

#

broken gale yo you're so right

the humanoids floor material has always been consistent for me tho pretty weird that it is not for you 🤔

broken gale May 10, 2025, 7:15 AM

#

it is consistent until I morph... it's so weird

#

thx for the idea

elfin solstice May 10, 2025, 7:16 AM

#

broken gale it is consistent until I morph... it's so weird

how do you morph

broken gale May 10, 2025, 7:17 AM

#

I replace the player model with a new model and delete the old one

elfin solstice May 10, 2025, 7:17 AM

#

broken gale I replace the player model with a new model and delete the old one

why don't you just clone your model 🙏

broken gale May 10, 2025, 7:17 AM

#

I do

elfin solstice May 10, 2025, 7:18 AM

#

replacing your players model costs alot of perfomance especially if ya do it multiple times

broken gale May 10, 2025, 7:18 AM

#

what do you recommend then

elfin solstice May 10, 2025, 7:19 AM

#

clone your models and don't replace your players model

#

you just need to apply the cframes to each part in the model

broken gale May 10, 2025, 7:20 AM

#

so am I overlapping the new model with the player model?

broken gale so am I overlapping the new model with the player model?

yeah

broken gale May 10, 2025, 7:20 AM

#

ookay

elfin solstice May 10, 2025, 7:20 AM

#

you just have to delete the models after you done morphing

#

or while you morph

broken gale May 10, 2025, 7:20 AM

#

yeah

#

oh that didn't work, but here's the current code setup

elfin solstice May 10, 2025, 7:21 AM

#

do it rather like this

#

local character_model = player.Character
local character_clone = character_model:Clone()

and then apply the other code

#

and don't make this

#

player.Character = somemodel

#

just clone

#

you character

#

will be better for perfomance

#

and feel smoother

broken gale May 10, 2025, 7:23 AM

clone teh character being the new model or the player

elfin solstice May 10, 2025, 7:23 AM

no sorry, I mean am I cloning the player model or the player model that I want to morph into

this line is erroring

elfin solstice May 10, 2025, 7:32 AM

#

broken gale

yeah the primary part doesn't exist or isn't set

#

maybe try newCharacter:SetPrimaryPartCFrame(oldCharacter:FindFirstChild("PrimaryPart").CFrame)

broken gale May 10, 2025, 7:32 AM

#

so- that only happens when I clone the character model.

#

ok ok ok

#

so the new model has a primary part

#

but when I clone the player model it doesn't work anymore

elfin solstice May 10, 2025, 7:39 AM

#

broken gale but when I clone the player model it doesn't work anymore

yeah mb that does not work you have to have a model in server storage

#

and apply a humanoid description on that model of yourself

#

you cant clone the players character directly for some reason

broken gale May 10, 2025, 7:40 AM

#

so... clone the player model, add a humanoid to it?

elfin solstice May 10, 2025, 7:41 AM

#

broken gale so... clone the player model, add a humanoid to it?

no have a character model in server storage or replicated storage

#

and clone that

broken gale May 10, 2025, 7:41 AM

#

okaay

#

I'm using the default model tho

elfin solstice May 10, 2025, 7:42 AM

#

apply your humanoid description on that clone characters humanoid

elfin solstice May 10, 2025, 7:42 AM

#

broken gale I'm using the default model tho

ya just clone that

broken gale May 10, 2025, 7:42 AM

#

I did and tried sending it over to server storage and it errored

elfin solstice May 10, 2025, 7:43 AM

#

deepsigh

#

you just have to clone it

#

don't send it anywhere

#

store it in rep storage or server storage

broken gale May 10, 2025, 7:44 AM

#

yo you're making no sense

#

don't send it anywhere but store it in rep or server storage???

#

I'm cloning the model from workspace

elfin solstice May 10, 2025, 7:45 AM

#

woe

#

that doesnt work

#

you have to clone from rep storage or server storage into workspace

broken gale May 10, 2025, 7:47 AM

#

am I cloning the DEFAULT character model or the NEW character model that I'm morphing into.
If I get the DEFAULT character model I have to clone it from WORKSPACE.
If it's the NEW character model then I already get it from ServerStorage.

#

how do I clone something from storage if it automatically spawns in workspace

elfin solstice May 10, 2025, 7:48 AM

#

broken gale how do I clone something from storage if it automatically spawns in workspace

you have to parent it first to workspace

broken gale May 10, 2025, 7:48 AM

#

parent what to workspace 😭

elfin solstice May 10, 2025, 7:49 AM

#

the character clone

#

then set its primarypart cframe to your characters primary part cframe

#

Doublethumbs

broken gale May 10, 2025, 7:52 AM

#

can you just

#

like

#

send over a code sample it's still erroring when I try parenting the cloned character model

#

like if I try to do anything to it, the code errors

#

I can't even rename it

elfin solstice May 10, 2025, 7:55 AM

#

broken gale like

yeah gimme a min

broken gale May 10, 2025, 7:58 AM

#

ok so I had to turn on archivable

#

so, this is the current situation

#

both are clones, left is old, right is morph. I cannot control either one

#

do I have to insert smthn?

elfin solstice May 10, 2025, 8:01 AM

#

broken gale both are clones, left is old, right is morph. I cannot control either one

wdym by control

broken gale May 10, 2025, 8:01 AM

#

like- I can't move them

elfin solstice May 10, 2025, 8:01 AM

yeah just use humanoid descriptions gang ✌️

#

its super duper easy

broken gale May 10, 2025, 8:03 AM

#

idk what those are

#

do I shove the player humanoid into the model?

elfin solstice May 10, 2025, 8:03 AM

#

its basically the appearance of your character

elfin solstice May 10, 2025, 8:04 AM

#

broken gale do I shove the player humanoid into the model?

no you apply a humanoid description on the humanoid

broken gale May 10, 2025, 8:04 AM

#

no I have a modeled character that I want to swap to

elfin solstice May 10, 2025, 8:04 AM

#

lemme show you

#

like this?

broken gale May 10, 2025, 8:05 AM

#

yeah exactly like that

elfin solstice May 10, 2025, 8:05 AM

#

yes use humanoid descriptions

broken gale May 10, 2025, 8:06 AM

#

do those add decals and items to the character?

elfin solstice May 10, 2025, 8:06 AM

#

and apply them on your humanoid

elfin solstice May 10, 2025, 8:06 AM

#

broken gale do those add decals and items to the character?

yeah even models

#

like a bracelet

#

you just have to add it in the humanoid description

elfin solstice May 10, 2025, 8:07 AM

#

broken gale do those add decals and items to the character?

https://create.roblox.com/docs/reference/engine/classes/HumanoidDescription

#

super duper easy

broken gale May 10, 2025, 8:08 AM

#

aaaah no that's not quite it

#

I've got a custom model that I made

#

is there a way for me to do something similar with that?

elfin solstice May 10, 2025, 8:08 AM

#

doesn't matter as long as the custom model has a humanoid

broken gale May 10, 2025, 8:08 AM

#

oh?

elfin solstice May 10, 2025, 8:08 AM

you just need a humanoid and your wanted humanoid description

local oldCharacter = player.Character

no idea what to change to make it do what you just said

elfin solstice May 10, 2025, 8:09 AM

this is how I did it

#

just get your characters humanoid your humanoid description and then apply

broken gale May 10, 2025, 8:11 AM

#

ok-

#

give me a sec

elfin solstice May 10, 2025, 8:11 AM

#

easy to figure out

#

this is how I stored and accesed them

broken gale May 10, 2025, 8:19 AM

okay I'm getting an error :/

you are applying a model and not humanoid description

read the documentation

yes

broken gale May 10, 2025, 8:30 AM

where are you getting "HumanoidDescriptions" from on the second line?

it's unknown for me

from rep storage i store them there

broken gale May 10, 2025, 8:32 AM

#

oh gotchu

#

i just clone them and then apply the cloned description on the humanoid

broken gale May 10, 2025, 8:37 AM

errm ok I lowkey have no idea what I'm doing

if FoundHumanoidDescription ~= nil then
    local Character = characterHumanoid.Parent
end

characterHumanoid:ApplyDescription(FoundHumanoidDescription)

end

I'm trying to modify the code cuz I don't have the same parameters as you but it's not working

#

characterHumanoid:ApplyDescription(FoundHumanoidDescription)

says the argument is missing as there's no string value. an instance is being passed??

I'll figure this out later, thanks for the help tho! I gotta sleep
