So i was thinking about creating a spell that allows you to possess another player and I was thinking about character selections. You click a character and become that character. Can i apply that same ideology to possessing someone?
I don’t think you can control another player’s character. You might be able to get away with something like that using BodyMovers for jumping and animations for movement.

Sure, though controlling other characters is incredibly impractical, so what you would want to do is basically just copy the appearance (and spells too in this scenario I suppose) and sneakily “replace” the target character with the disguised attacker. Additionally, you can make the victim’s camera follow the neck of the attacker if you want them to suffer
… but maybe don’t do that last thing if the possession lasts longer than 5 seconds, it’s notoriously bad for the player if they can lose all control for ages.
It would basically last around a minute so what would be my way around any issues?
Well the issue is that being unable to do anything for an entire minute while someone masquerades as you is rather frustrating/boring. An easy solution would be to make it only last a minute if the recipient is completely AFK, otherwise they get a progress bar for “fighting back the possession” or whatever to reduce it down to like 10 seconds.
It entirely depends on what your game is though, so it’s pretty much just up to you to figure out how you want to do it.
