Problem with StarterCharacter: randomization

Help and Feedback Scripting Support
#1

I want the startercharacter to be randomized every time the player respawns.
No console errors, just doesn’t work.
Here’s my code (it is in StarterPlayerScripts):

game.Players.PlayerAdded:connect(function(plr)
	local Characters = game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage").Players:GetChildren()[math.random(1,3)]

	if game:GetService("StarterPlayer"):FindFirstChild("StarterCharacter") then
		game:GetService("StarterPlayer").StarterCharacter:Destroy()
	end

	Characters.Name = "StarterCharacter"
	Characters.Parent = game:GetService("StarterPlayer")
	plr.CharacterRemoving:connect(function(char)
		Characters = game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage").Players:GetChildren()[math.random(1,3)]

		if game:GetService("StarterPlayer"):FindFirstChild("StarterCharacter") then
			game:GetService("StarterPlayer").StarterCharacter:Destroy()
		end
		Characters.Name = "StarterCharacter"
		Characters.Parent = game:GetService("StarterPlayer")
	end)
end)

I don’t know how. I’m a new coder, so I’m not sure here to put it.

Make sure the script is in a Script (not local), and that it is in the ServerScriptService (not StarterPlayerScripts).

Make a Folder in Replicated storage and name it “Players” then put your starterCharacters in the folder

Do your StarterCharacters have a set PrimaryPart?

Why should they? They’re startercharacters. They’re playermodels.

On the Model of the Characters, Set the Primary part to the Root of the character. As shown below.

This will help when Animating or moving them.
