How to make a dummy turn into a player locally for a cutscene without deleting the old dummy and replacing it?

[chinhha2 (You)]

I have a cutscene and I wanted to take the player id model so they would be playing in the cutscene, but I want it locally so they would see their own player instead of other players:

this is the script I have inside of the dummy:

-- local Players = game:GetService("Players");

local Dummy = workspace.Dummy; -- your dummy 
local DummyHumanoid = Dummy.Humanoid; -- dummy's humanoid

Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(plr)
	local humDes = Players:GetHumanoidDescriptionFromUserId(plr.UserId);
	if(humDes)then
		DummyHumanoid:ApplyDescription(humDes);
	end
end)

make a localscript in StarterPlayer->StarterCharacterScripts, paste the current code and remove the PlayerAdded and replace the plr.UserId with game:GetService("Players").LocalPlayer.UserId

-- 
local ChaseRig = workspace.ChaseCutscene.RigChase; -- your dummy 
local DummyHumanoid = ChaseRig.Humanoid; -- dummy's humanoid

game.Players:Connect(function(plr)
    local humDes = game.Players:GetHumanoidDescriptionFromUserId(game:GetService("Players").LocalPlayer.UserId);
    if(humDes)then
        DummyHumanoid:ApplyDescription(humDes);
    end
end)

This is what I have in startcharacterscript but it’s still not working

might not be able to call Humanoid:ApplyDescription() from a local script however Players:CreateHumanoidModelFromUserId() and Players:CreateHumanoidModelFromDescription() ARE able to be called in a localscript
Just set the Parent, Position, etc to what you need it to be.
obviously, serverscripts will not be able to affect this dummmy

---StarterPlayerScripts
local Players = game:GetService("Players")
local Player = Players.LocalPlayer
local Dummy = Players:CreateHumanoidModelFromUserId(Player.UserId)
Dummy.Parent = game.Workspace
Dummy:FindFirstChild("HumanoidRootPart").Anchored = true
Dummy:PivotTo(CFrame.new(0,3,0))
Dummy.Name = Player.Name

Should probably add that the above is in StarterPlayerScripts + in a local script

This is probably the best way I could think of to make sure other players can’t see the same dummy / other player’s avatar, each player will have their own dummy.

Why not just make a clone of their character and use that as the cutscene dummy? Don’t need to mess about with humanoid descriptions.

[chinhha2 (You)]

In the dummy for the animation, I have a script in it, and idk how to reput the script in the dummy if it clones the dummy, so I am trying to figure out how to make a dummy that already has the script turns into the player

[Tazm0ndo (Taz)]

You could make the original dummy invisible, and CFrame all the body parts of the new clone to the dummy’s bodyparts on RenderStepped. (All on the client of course)

You can do that using Humanoid:ApplyDescription and getting the description from Players. I forgot the API but you can look it up.
