Changing Character not working

Help and Feedback Scripting Support
#1

Hello, I am trying to change a character via a local script

Everything is correct, but the character just reloads to my own avatar when I use the command.

Firing Event Script:

local allowedname = "omotashi"

game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(Player)
	Player.Chatted:Connect(function(chat)
		if chat =="!Brody" and Player.Name == allowedname then
			game.ReplicatedStorage.Brody:FireAllClients()
			print("Fired")
			
		else
			print("tried")
		end
	end)
end)

game.ReplicatedStorage.Brody.OnServerEvent:Connect(function(player, newBaby)
	player:LoadCharacter(newBaby)
end)

Local Usage Script:

game.ReplicatedStorage.Brody.OnClientEvent:Connect(function()
	local BrodyF = game.ReplicatedStorage:FindFirstChild("BrodyDude")
	local player = game.Players.LocalPlayer
	
	local oldchara = player.Character
	local customchara = BrodyF:Clone()
	customchara.Name = player.Name
	player.Character = customchara
	customchara.HumanoidRootPart.CFrame = workspace.SpawnLocation.CFrame + Vector3.new(0,3,0)
	
end)

Here is also a video on the character and what happens when you use the command

Adding that there is no error, and it just loads my personal character

You have to do this in a server script instead of a local script. You can just loop through all players and set their characters

local BrodyF = game.ReplicatedStorage:FindFirstChild("BrodyDude")
for _, p in pairs(game.Players:getPlayers()) do
	local newchar = BrodyF:Clone()
	local oldchar = p.Character
	local cframe = oldchar:GetPrimaryPartCFrame()

	p.Character = newchar
	newchar.Parent = workspace
	newchar:SetPrimaryPartCFrame(cframe)
	oldchar:Destroy()
end

I haven’t tested it, but it should work
