Character Randomizer

I made a small change to the code. Instead of using .CharacterAdded:Connect(), I used .CharacterAdded:Wait(). See if that makes any change to the error. I tested it out and it works for me.

-- In a script in ServerScriptService

local characters = game.ServerStorage:WaitForChild("StarterCharacters"):GetChildren() -- replace with where the folder is and the name of the folder

game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(player)
	if #characters > 0 then
		local starterChars = {}

		for i, char in ipairs(characters) do
			table.insert(starterChars, char)
		end

		local function randomCharacter()
			local random = Random.new()
			return starterChars[random:NextInteger(1, #characters)]
		end

		local newChar = randomCharacter():Clone()	
		local oldChar = player.Character or player.CharacterAdded:Wait()

		
		local oldCFrame = oldChar:GetPrimaryPartCFrame()
		
		player.Character = newChar
		newChar.Parent = workspace
		newChar:SetPrimaryPartCFrame(oldCFrame)
		oldChar:Destroy()
	else
		print("There are no starter characters in StarterPlayer.")
	end
end)

I’m basing my code off of another dev forum post on setting a player’s character.
