Hey Everyone! I want to make an adventure type game with quests and stuff, but I don’t want people to use their own avatar. I want to make an avatar in studio for the players to wear. Can anybody tell me how to do this?
Thanks!

Put the character you want it to be into StarterCharacterScripts

If everyone is meant to have the same Character, I think you just name the model as “StarterCharacter” and insert it in “StarterPlayer”

I’m sort of new to Roblox studio so I don’t know if I’m doing things completely wrong or not, but neither seems to work. All the limbs just fall out the sky, am I doing something wrong?
The names of the each part need to match with how they are named on roblox. Example, the name of the Torso should be “Torso” and the name of the Head should be “Head” and so on. There also needs to be a HumanoidRootPart, which is jsut the torso but invisible and uncollideable
okay ill try
Thanks for the help
i am confused how do I add a humanoidrootpart?
Basically just duplicate the Torso, make it invisible and uncollideable and call it “HumanoidRootPart”
okay
that makes more sense ill try
Or alternatively, I recommend usign the Rig Builder Plugin automatically installed into your Roblox Studio to make a rig for what you want and change the properties there via adding a Body Color and changign the colors, adding clothing, etc.
Okay ill try that if this doesnt work but here is what i done, am I doing it right?
HumanoidRootPart in fully transparent
I believe so, if it doesn’t work, then again I recommend using the Rig Builder
okay thanks for all the help, also i have the body anchored should i undo that?
I think, try that out and see if it works, it’s basically a lot of trial and error to see what’ll work
Its still not working no matter what I do, thanks for the help though. Ill try use rig builder and see if that works

If you are trying to make an R6 custom character, I recommend just using Rig Builder which is an in-built plugin.
Just spawn an R6 rig, then do playtest and open workspace and find a model that has your roblox username, click on the two scripts named “Health” and “Animate”, press CTRL + C and stop the playtest.
Then just do CTRL + V and drag the scripts into the rig you made, unanchor the HumanoidRootPart, drag the rig into StarterPlayer and rename it to “StarterCharacter”.
Personally this is the method I like to use, if you want to change the appearance of the rig just insert a “BodyColors” instance into the character model and change the colors.

thank you thank you thank you!
i done all the steps and they worked,
although can I change my blockhead to a normal head? is that possible?
Yeah, you can spawn a R15 rig and just get the mesh from the head, copy it and paste it into your custom character’s head
