Creates a new MeshPart with specified CollisionFidelity and RenderFidelity. Because MeshPart.MeshId is read only, this is the way to create a MeshPart through scripts without having to clone an existing one. It throws errors if creation fails.

The GetFreeDecals function retrieves a list of free Decals from the Catalog. The return type for this method is very odd, as it returns a single table wrapped in a table.

The best way to explain it is to show a visual of the array returned:

 1
 2
 3
 4
 5
 6
 7
 8
 9
10
11
12
13
14

[1] = {
	CurrentStartIndex = 1, -- This can vary depending on the page you input.
	TotalCount = 21, -- Always 21.
	Results = {
		-- All parameters here are pseudo. They can vary depending on the asset.
		[1] = {
			Name = "Asset Name",
			AssetId = 0000000,
			AssetVersionId = 0000000,
			CreatorName = "Roblox",
		},
		-- [2], [3], and so on... up to [21]
	},
}

An example for iterating over this list has been provided at the bottom of this page.

Additionally, if you want to insert Models instead, you can use the InsertService:GetFreeModels() function.

Note: The page argument starts at 0. So Page 1 = 0, Page 2 = 1, etc.

The GetFreeModels function retrieves a list of Free Models from the Catalog. The return type for this method is very odd, as it returns a single table wrapped in a table.

Additionally, if you would like to insert free Decals, you can use the InsertService:GetFreeDecals() function.

Returns the latest AssetVersionId of an asset for assets created by the place creator. Can be used in combination with InsertService:LoadAssetVersion() to load the latest version of a model, even if it gets updated while the game is running.

The LoadAsset function fetches an asset given its ID and returns a Model containing the asset. For example, to load this public Doge Model, which has the asset ID 257489726, you can use:

1
2
3
4

local assetId = 257489726
local InsertService = game:GetService("InsertService")
local model = InsertService:LoadAsset(assetId)
model.Parent = workspace

Calls to this function may fail if a server providing a model is having problems. As such, it's generally a good idea to wrap calls to this function in pcall to catch these kinds of errors.

local assetId = 257489726
local InsertService = game:GetService("InsertService")
local success, model = pcall(InsertService.LoadAsset, InsertService, assetId)
if success and model then
	print("Model loaded successfully")
	model.Parent = workspace
else
	print("Model failed to load!")
end

Security Check

An asset loaded by this function must be created or owned by either the game creator or Roblox. Additionally, benign asset types such as t-shirts, shirts, pants and avatar accessories are loadable from any game as they are public.
