Applying the local player's character to a dummy

Help and Feedback Scripting Support
#1

Hello everyone, I’m trying to make it so a dummy in workspace’s appearance changes to the current player’s character appearance

i’ve got some code here that i’m trying to use from this thread: How would I get the local player's appearance to apply to a dummy? - #12 by Tiryan_One

local Players = game:GetService("Players")

local function PlayerAdded(Player)

	local function CharacterAdded(Character)

		local Humanoid = Character:WaitForChild("Humanoid")

		local HumanoidDescription = Players:GetHumanoidDescriptionFromUserId(Player.UserId)

		workspace.DummyCutscene.Humanoid:ApplyDescription(HumanoidDescription)

		script:Destroy()
	end

	Player.CharacterAdded:Connect(CharacterAdded)
end

Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(PlayerAdded)

The script is located in serverscriptservice, I’ve made both the player and the dummy R6 aswell, and the dummy turns out like this:

as you can see, the dummy has his old body overlapping the new one, also the accessory is weird, any ideas?

Try using ApplyDescriptionReset instead.

didn’t work, heres the rewritten script if that helps:

local Players = game:GetService("Players")

local function PlayerAdded(Player)

	local function CharacterAdded(Character)

		local Humanoid = Character:WaitForChild("Humanoid")

		local HumanoidDescription = Players:GetHumanoidDescriptionFromUserId(Player.UserId)

		workspace.DummyCutscene.Humanoid:ApplyDescription(HumanoidDescription)
		
		workspace.DummyCutscene.Humanoid:ApplyDescriptionReset(HumanoidDescription)
		
		script:Destroy()
	end

	Player.CharacterAdded:Connect(CharacterAdded)
end

Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(PlayerAdded)

let me know if i did something wrong
