I can't clone a character without this bug: The Parent property of [player name] is locked, current parent: NULL, new parent Workspace

I made a developer product, and if you buy it, you morph into a character. But if you die the error pops up and you will spawn in the air and fall down and die. How do I fix this bug?

Here’s the script:

game.MarketplaceService.PromptProductPurchaseFinished:Connect(function(plrs, id, result)
if id == 1681235708 then
if result == true then
local plr = game.Players:GetPlayerByUserId(plrs)
local oldCharacter = plr.Character
local morphModel = game:GetService(“ReplicatedStorage”).RainbowPomni:FindFirstChild(“RainbowPomni”)
local newCharacter = morphModel:Clone()

        newCharacter.PrimaryPart.Anchored = false
        newCharacter.Name = plr.Name
        newCharacter:SetPrimaryPartCFrame(oldCharacter.PrimaryPart.CFrame)

        oldCharacter:Destroy()
        plr.Character = newCharacter
        newCharacter.Parent = workspace
        morphModel = nil
        newCharacter = nil

        wait(3)
        local x = Instance.new("StringValue", plr)
        x.Name = "Pomni"
    end
end

end)

Thanks for your help!

set the player’s character archivable property to true then set it to false after so:

game.MarketplaceService.PromptProductPurchaseFinished:Connect(function(plrs, id, result)
if id == 1681235708 then
if result == true then
local plr = game.Players:GetPlayerByUserId(plrs)
local oldCharacter = plr.Character
local morphModel = game:GetService(“ReplicatedStorage”).RainbowPomni:FindFirstChild(“RainbowPomni”)

morphModel.Archivable = true

local newCharacter = morphModel:Clone()


        newCharacter.PrimaryPart.Anchored = false
        newCharacter.Name = plr.Name
        newCharacter:SetPrimaryPartCFrame(oldCharacter.PrimaryPart.CFrame)

        morphModel.Archivable = false

        oldCharacter:Destroy()
        plr.Character = newCharacter
        newCharacter.Parent = workspace
        morphModel = nil
        newCharacter = nil

        wait(3)
        local x = Instance.new("StringValue", plr)
        x.Name = "Pomni"
    end
end

end)

Thanks for your reply. I’m sorry to say it still doesnt work, even if the character is archivable

You need to put your character in StarterCharacterScripts first of all, and add important parts in a character like HumanoidRootPart etc.

Now after the character bought the morph, reset the character and it should work fine. I know it won’t be a “clean” transition between morph but it will work.

The benefit of putting it in StarterCharacterScripts would be that it’s basically the starter character, which means everytime you reset your character, the model will spawn.
