Hello, I’m trying to clone humanoid models from the Server to the Client but in doing so the children of the Cloned Model don’t exist

PlrDummy = workspace:WaitForChild("PlrDummy"):Clone()
NPCDummy = workspace:WaitForChild("NPCDummy"):Clone()
PlrDummy.Parent = script.Parent.PlayerViewport
NPCDummy.Parent = script.Parent.NPCViewport

PlrDummy.PrimaryPart = PlrDummy:WaitForChild("HumanoidRootPart") -- Infinite Yield, Nil Error if removed.
NPCDummy.PrimaryPart = NPCDummy:WaitForChild("HumanoidRootPart") -- Infinite Yield, Nil Error if removed.

PCamera = Instance.new("Camera")
NCamera = Instance.new("Camera")
PCamera.Parent = script.Parent
NCamera.Parent = script.Parent

print(PCamera.Name)
print(NCamera.Name)
print(PlrDummy.PrimaryPart.Name) -- Returns Nil
print(NPCDummy.PrimaryPart.Name) -- Returns Nil

PCamera.CFrame = PlrDummy.PrimaryPart.CFrame + Vector3.new(1,0,0)
NCamera.CFrame = NPCDummy.PrimaryPart.CFrame + Vector3.new(1,0,0)

script.Parent.PlayerViewport.CurrentCamera = PCamera
script.Parent.NPCViewport.CurrentCamera = NCamera

Unsure as to what’s causing this…

Yes, everything has Archivable set to true.

Accessories don't load on the dummy correctly when using ApplyDescription

Could you try change the first line of your code with
PlrDummy = workspace:WaitForChild("PlrDummy"):WaitForChild("HumanoidRootPart"):Clone()
I think PlrDummy was cloned before all of PlrDummy’s children replicated.

Doing this causes an Infinite Yield.

Oh, sorry my bad.

workspace:WaitForChild("PlrDummy"):WaitForChild("HumanoidRootPart")
PlrDummy = workspace:WaitForChild("PlrDummy"):Clone()

will remove your warning.
However, to clone your model properly, you should implement some logic that waits for all children (and descendants) to be replicated before cloning the model. ( or you can listen to DescendantAdded event of PlrDummy and clone descendant to cloned PlrDummy. It is recommended )

you may refer to Wait for model to be fully replicated to client?
