Character customizer

[torpid monolith]

I’m creating a Roblox character creator system and want players to customize eyes and mouths separately on their avatar’s face.

The issue is that Roblox heads only support one face decal, and SurfaceGuis do not wrap around the head properly.

How do Roblox games achieve customizable anime-style faces that both:

• wrap naturally around the head
• AND allow separate eye/mouth customization?

what do you mean roblox heads only support one face decal

[torpid monolith]

When I go to apply multiple, it won’t allow me to, I’ve created separate eyes and mouth decals but cannot put both on the players head

[outer sable]

that’s odd, can you show me what’s in the rig you’re using?

like everything under the model

i cant remember ever encountering this behaviour

if there’s a bodycolors or a humanoiddescription in the rig try removing those and seeing if it works

Sorry, I do need a second since I’m coming back from a college class, but I will get that to you in a few minutes, I do have an option to change the color of the characters skin though

sorry not at my computer either so can’t test it myself

Okay I’ve arrived back home, and looking inside the character helped, what it’s doing is it’s switching the face whenever I click the mouth or eyes, it’s not adding anything, what would be the solution?

[outer sable]

it’s switching the face?

there’s only one active decal in the head at any given time?

[torpid monolith]

Correct it’s changing the asset id/ color map content

[outer sable]

so you have two decals in the rig for the mouth and eyes?

[torpid monolith]

Can I make it so that players spawn with two instead of one?

[outer sable]

just insert the second decal at runtime on the server if necessary

is your character customizer on the client or the server

character customizer script*

[torpid monolith]

It’s in serverscriptservice

[outer sable]

add a second decal to the player’s head when their character loads

using instance.new

[torpid monolith]

I think it might’ve worked, I had to delete the characters mesh head, and they got the rectangle head but now they have both, was I somehow adding a weird mesh that prevented it or is the mesh usually there?

[outer sable]

were you using a filemesh prior

[torpid monolith]

This is everything in the characters head

[outer sable]

yeah it seems fine

did you get it working it’s unclear

[torpid monolith]

Sorry, when the mesh is there both faces won’t show, but when I remove the head mesh both do show

I’ll try to send image

[outer sable]

can you send the properties of the mesh during runtime

Actually I believe you helped me fix the issue

It was something weird with the mesh, I went through the code, just retyped some parts and now it works

Thank you
