hairstyles on slider?

[𝓳amie 👽]

hi friends <3

i'm currently trying to make a grower whose' style changes on the style, from one made up of many smaller transparent pixels (kinda like my hedgehogs) to one of my regular styles as a "grown" beeb. unfortunately no matter what i try the style at age 0 is taking on the texture of the "real" hairstyle essentially ruining the transparency and by extension the entire hairstyle. i tried making the ball sizes 0 as usual and tried changing the texture to -1 and even that of the transparent parts with no luck. is there a way to fix this or am i SOL?

thanks for any help 💕💕💕 i really want this idea to work bc i think it'll be really cool in execution ;-; <3

Do you have both hair codes pasted in both the child and adult sections? The hair they'd grow in to gets set at size 0 in the child section, and then the hair they start with gets set to size 0 in the adult section. I haven't done it but lacey or aleisha have said that's how to do it!

yeah that's essentially what i'm trying to do! unfortunately because the age 0 style is mostly made of little "tattoos" it seems to be interfering with the transparency though for whatever reason 🤦

(i would put pictures of what i mean but this is for an upcoming event & i reaaally don't wanna spoil it if i can hehehe)

just to check:

you need to have the exact same texture list in child and adult, so all the textures for the child hairstyle still need to be in adult, and all the numbers for the textures need to be set to the same things in child and adult, the only thing that can change is the sizes (and position but that is not important here).
If the baby hair is taking on the adult texture it might be because your texture list is not quite set up right in both sections the same.
