After Image not working

I’m making an after-image script that involves cloning the players model on a key press, and anchoring it at their current position.

local TweenService = game:GetService("TweenService")
local PhysicsService = game:GetService("PhysicsService")
local debris = game:GetService("Debris")	

local RemoteEvent = game.ReplicatedStorage.ClientToServer
RemoteEvent.OnServerEvent:Connect(function(Player)
	print("test")

	local Shunpo = Instance.new("Sound")
	Shunpo.SoundId = "rbxassetid://1721022491"
	Shunpo.Parent = workspace
	Shunpo:Play()

	local  tweenGoals = {

	FlashInfoIn = TweenInfo.new(0.3, Enum.EasingStyle.Sine, Enum.EasingDirection.Out, 0, false, 0),
	FlashInfoOut = TweenInfo.new(0.05, Enum.EasingStyle.Sine, Enum.EasingDirection.In, 0, false, 0),
		
		-- || Clone Fade Out
		tweenFlashtepIn = {
			Transparency = 1,
			Color = Color3.new(0, 0, 0)
		};

		-- || Humanoid Fade In
		tweenFlashtepOut = {
			Transparency = 0,
		};
}

	local characterModel = character:Clone()

	-- | Player Transparency

	for i, v in pairs(character:GetDescendants()) do 		
		if v:IsA("Part") then
			v.Transparency = 1
		elseif v:IsA("Accessory") then
			v.Handle.Transparency = 1
		elseif v:IsA("Decal") then 
			v.Transparency = 1
		end 
	end


	-- | Afterimage create

	characterModel.Archivable = true
	for i, clone in pairs(character:GetDescendants()) do
		if clone:IsA("Part") or clone:IsA("MeshPart") then
			print("Test2")
			clone.Archivable = true    
			clone.CanCollide = false
			clone.Anchored = true
			print(clone)
		end

		characterModel.Parent = workspace
		characterModel:FindFirstChild("Humanoid").DisplayDistanceType = Enum.HumanoidDisplayDistanceType.None

		task.wait(0.5)

		-- | Afterimage Transparency

		for i, v in pairs(characterModel:GetDescendants()) do
			if v:IsA("Part") then
				TweenService:Create(v, tweenGoals.FlashInfoIn, tweenGoals.tweenFlashtepIn):Play()
			elseif v:IsA("Accessory") then
				TweenService:Create(v.Handle, tweenGoals.FlashInfoIn, tweenGoals.tweenFlashtepIn):Play()
			end
		end

		characterModel.Head.face:Destroy()

		task.wait(0.5)

		for i, v in pairs(character:GetDescendants()) do
			if v:IsA("Part") then
				TweenService:Create(v, tweenGoals.FlashInfoOut, tweenGoals.tweenFlashtepOut):Play()
			elseif v:IsA("Accessory") then
				TweenService:Create(v.Handle, tweenGoals.FlashInfoOut, tweenGoals.tweenFlashtepOut):Play()
			elseif v:IsA("Decal") then 
				v.Transparency = 0
			end

		end

		characterModel:Destroy()

	end
end)

The for loop under Afterimage create is what is supposed to handle the positioning, but it only prints (and seems to anchor) the clones head, and not the other limbs/parts/meshes. It’s just trying to solve it, since I’m completely lost on why that’s happening

	characterModel.Archivable = true
	for i, clone in pairs(character:GetDescendants()) do
		if clone:IsA("Part") or clone:IsA("MeshPart") then
			print("Test2")
			clone.Archivable = true    
			clone.CanCollide = false
			clone.Anchored = true
			print(clone)
		end

This is the specific part of the code that handles it for those who don’t want to go through the whole thing

pairs(character:GetDescendants())

Shouldn’t you be iterating over the descendants of “characterModel” instead? The clone.

Yeah I had it as that originally, It only works with characterModel (actually spawning the clone). But I was just experimenting, I should have fixed it before I posted, sorry
