--- name: AccessoryDescription last_updated: 2026-06-11T17:05:15Z inherits: - Instance - Object type: class memory_category: Instances summary: "Describes the appearance of an Accessory for the HumanoidDescription." --- # Class: AccessoryDescription > Describes the appearance of an [Accessory](/docs/reference/engine/classes/Accessory.md) for the > [HumanoidDescription](/docs/reference/engine/classes/HumanoidDescription.md). ## Description **AccessoryDescription** is an object that stores the description for an [Accessory](/docs/reference/engine/classes/Accessory.md). It is meant to be placed underneath a [HumanoidDescription](/docs/reference/engine/classes/HumanoidDescription.md) in order to work with [Humanoid:ApplyDescriptionAsync()](/docs/reference/engine/classes/Humanoid.md). ## Properties ### Property: AccessoryDescription.AccessoryType ```json { "type": "AccessoryType", "access": "ReadWrite", "security": { "read": "None", "write": "None" }, "serialization": { "can_load": true, "can_save": true }, "thread_safety": "ReadSafe", "category": "Data", "capabilities": [ "AvatarAppearance" ] } ``` The [AccessoryType](/docs/reference/engine/enums/AccessoryType.md) of the [Accessory](/docs/reference/engine/classes/Accessory.md) referred to by this description. ### Property: AccessoryDescription.AssetId ```json { "type": "int64", "access": "ReadWrite", "security": { "read": "None", "write": "None" }, "serialization": { "can_load": true, "can_save": true }, "thread_safety": "ReadSafe", "category": "Data", "capabilities": [ "AvatarAppearance" ] } ``` The asset ID that should be applied when applying this [AccessoryDescription](/docs/reference/engine/classes/AccessoryDescription.md). ### Property: AccessoryDescription.Instance ```json { "type": "Instance", "access": "ReadWrite", "security": { "read": "None", "write": "None" }, "serialization": { "can_load": true, "can_save": true }, "thread_safety": "ReadSafe", "category": "Data", "capabilities": [ "AvatarAppearance" ] } ``` A reference to the [Instance](/docs/reference/engine/classes/Instance.md) that should be applied when applying this [AccessoryDescription](/docs/reference/engine/classes/AccessoryDescription.md). This property can be used instead of [AssetId](/docs/reference/engine/classes/AccessoryDescription.md) to apply accessories without uploading them to the platform. ### Property: AccessoryDescription.IsLayered ```json { "type": "boolean", "access": "ReadWrite", "security": { "read": "None", "write": "None" }, "serialization": { "can_load": true, "can_save": true }, "thread_safety": "ReadSafe", "category": "Data", "capabilities": [ "AvatarAppearance" ] } ``` Whether the [Accessory](/docs/reference/engine/classes/Accessory.md) is layered or rigid. This is intended to be read-only. It will be corrected after calling [Humanoid:ApplyDescriptionAsync()](/docs/reference/engine/classes/Humanoid.md) if this property doesn't match the actual [Accessory](/docs/reference/engine/classes/Accessory.md) contents. ### Property: AccessoryDescription.Order ```json { "type": "int", "access": "ReadWrite", "security": { "read": "None", "write": "None" }, "serialization": { "can_load": true, "can_save": true }, "thread_safety": "ReadSafe", "category": "Data", "capabilities": [ "AvatarAppearance" ] } ``` The [WrapLayer.Order](/docs/reference/engine/classes/WrapLayer.md) value when applying the [Accessory](/docs/reference/engine/classes/Accessory.md), if it is layered. ### Property: AccessoryDescription.Position ```json { "type": "Vector3", "access": "ReadWrite", "security": { "read": "None", "write": "None" }, "serialization": { "can_load": true, "can_save": true }, "thread_safety": "ReadSafe", "category": "Data", "capabilities": [ "AvatarAppearance" ] } ``` The accessory adjustment position offset. Only applies if the [Accessory](/docs/reference/engine/classes/Accessory.md) is rigid. ### Property: AccessoryDescription.Puffiness ```json { "type": "float", "access": "ReadWrite", "security": { "read": "None", "write": "None" }, "serialization": { "can_load": true, "can_save": true }, "thread_safety": "ReadSafe", "category": "Data", "capabilities": [ "AvatarAppearance" ] } ``` The [WrapLayer.Puffiness](/docs/reference/engine/classes/WrapLayer.md) value when applying the [Accessory](/docs/reference/engine/classes/Accessory.md), if it is layered. ### Property: AccessoryDescription.Rotation ```json { "type": "Vector3", "access": "ReadWrite", "security": { "read": "None", "write": "None" }, "serialization": { "can_load": true, "can_save": true }, "thread_safety": "ReadSafe", "category": "Data", "capabilities": [ "AvatarAppearance" ] } ``` The accessory adjustment rotation offset. Only applies if the [Accessory](/docs/reference/engine/classes/Accessory.md) is rigid. ### Property: AccessoryDescription.Scale ```json { "type": "Vector3", "access": "ReadWrite", "security": { "read": "None", "write": "None" }, "serialization": { "can_load": true, "can_save": true }, "thread_safety": "ReadSafe", "category": "Data", "capabilities": [ "AvatarAppearance" ] } ``` The accessory adjustment scale. Only applies if the [Accessory](/docs/reference/engine/classes/Accessory.md) is rigid. ## Methods ### Method: AccessoryDescription:GetAppliedInstance **Signature:** `AccessoryDescription:GetAppliedInstance(): Instance` Returns the applied [Accessory](/docs/reference/engine/classes/Accessory.md) if this [AccessoryDescription](/docs/reference/engine/classes/AccessoryDescription.md) is the child of an applied [HumanoidDescription](/docs/reference/engine/classes/HumanoidDescription.md) parented to a [Humanoid](/docs/reference/engine/classes/Humanoid.md). *Security: None · Thread Safety: Unsafe · Capabilities: AvatarAppearance* **Returns:** `Instance` ## Inherited Members ### From [Instance](/docs/reference/engine/classes/Instance.md) -
