Shirt is not a valid member of Model "Model"

[opaque oracle]

local InsertService = game:GetService("InsertService")

local clothingEvent = game.ReplicatedStorage.remoteEvents.clothingEvent
local clothesData = require(game.ReplicatedStorage.Modules.Data.clothesData)

clothingEvent.OnServerEvent:Connect(function(player, eventtype)
    local character = player.Character
    local shirt = character:WaitForChild("Shirt")
    if eventtype == "Customization" then
        for clothesName, clothingData in clothesData do
            shirt.ShirtTemplate = InsertService:LoadAsset(tonumber(clothingData.Asset)).Shirt.ShirtTemplate
        end
    end
end)``` I'm trying to utilize a remote event for my character customization system, but it keeps returning the error code ``Shirt is not a valid member of Model "Model"`` whenever it fires. Might anyone be able to help me solve this? Thanks in advance!

its saying InsertService:LoadAsset(tonumber(clothingData.Asset)).Shirt is nil

[opaque oracle]

Do you have any clue why that might be? I'm stumped as to why, as the tonumber is referencing a rbx asset id

[low palm]

how am i supposed to know the contents of whatever random ass asset you put in there?

moreover, why don't you know?

have you checked?

clearly not.

go check.

[opaque oracle]

Why would I ask you that if I didnt already check for myself?

[low palm]

oh, you'd be surprised how often people do dum and lazy things in these threads

[opaque oracle]

Oh dw ive noticed myself xD

[low palm]

i classify this one in the same category as having to ask "are you getting any errors?" twice because you didn't check the output window

and then i have to ask you to screenshot the output window because you didn't read it

why is it the same category?

screenshot your "check" -_-

[low palm]

because you didn't check it well enough.

[opaque oracle]

How do you know that?

[low palm]

i'm a wizard

[opaque oracle]

local InsertService = game:GetService("InsertService")

local clothingEvent = game.ReplicatedStorage.remoteEvents.clothingEvent
local clothesData = require(game.ReplicatedStorage.Modules.Data.clothesData)

clothingEvent.OnServerEvent:Connect(function(player, eventtype)
    local character = player.Character
    local shirt = character:WaitForChild("Shirt")
    if eventtype == "Customization" then
        for clothesName, clothingData in clothesData do
            shirt.ShirtTemplate = InsertService:LoadAsset(tonumber(clothingData.Asset)).Shirt.ShirtTemplate
            print(player:GetChildren())
        end
    end
end)```

[low palm]

none of that lines up

your check is wrong

what is the assetid of the shirt you're trying to check here

[opaque oracle]

The assetid is 382538059

I originally had it set with rbxasset:// at the front but even with a tonumber it wouldnt work

[low palm]

well nope its not that one

why is this a for loop

        for clothesName, clothingData in clothesData do
            shirt.ShirtTemplate = ...
        end```

are you intending on changing the shirt 100 times in one go?

[opaque oracle]

No thats my bad

[low palm]

why are you flipping through every shirt in your clothesdata

[opaque oracle]

Because I didnt realize thats what it would be doing 😭

[low palm]

i'm sure you can take it from here

[opaque oracle]

Argument 1 missing or nil
Now I get this error code with the loop removed

[low palm]

also joy you now know at least one of the ids in there does not fit your expected output

[low palm]

well yeah you were using insertservice:loadasset( clothingdata.etc... ) what did you think was going to happen by just simply removing the loop and not replacing it with something else?

[opaque oracle]

I thought it would work

🌚

[low palm]

sadly computers aren't mystical mind-readers just yet, maybe in a few years. but for now you need to be explicit about literally everything

[opaque oracle]

So if its not a loop that should be used what should I write in its place?

[low palm]

bruh

[opaque oracle]

I only knew about the loop method allowing for the asset number to be called from another script I had written

[low palm]

this being a customization thing one might expect the player is picking out a shirt from a list

one shirt

not let's see all of them at once

so i would probably expect the client to include the desired shirt in their :FireServer

and then on server you check if it actually exists, if they can wear that specific shirt etc

how you solve that is up to you.

[low palm]

also you are guaranteed that at least one of your shirts won't work because of the error

which one is a task left up to you to figure out
