Cloning my character doesn't work

Help and Feedback Scripting Support
#1

So I basicly want to clone my character and place it in the same position and with the same rig as a dummy.

I have never made this before so I tried a simple solution that clearly didn’t work and then I tried to look up on the internet but i fount absolutely nothing.

These are two samples of code that I have tried:

WHAT I TOUGHT IT CAN BE
local insertService = game:GetService(“InsertService”)

game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(plr)
local Id = plr.UserId
local Model = insertService:LoadAsset(Id)

Model.Parent = workspace
end)

WHAT I HAVE FOUDN IN ANOTHER SCRIPT
if PlayAnimationInRig.currentId == userId then return end
PlayAnimationInRig.currentId = userId
PlayAnimationInRig.StopAnimationTrack()
PlayAnimationInRig.rig:Destroy()
PlayAnimationInRig.rig = PlayAnimationInRig.rigCopy:Clone()
PlayAnimationInRig.rig.Parent = script.Parent

local humanoidDescription = Players:GetHumanoidDescriptionFromUserId(userId)
PlayAnimationInRig.humanoid:ApplyDescriptionReset(humanoidDescription)
local tagClone = PlayAnimationInRig.tag:Clone()
tagClone.Enabled = true
tagClone.Parent = PlayAnimationInRig.rig.Head
PlayAnimationInRig.humanoid.DisplayName =
Players:GetNameFromUserIdAsync(userId)

sorry for bad english :]

you need to do a loop through all descendant instances of the model you want to clone and make sure that “Archivable” = true

So I tried your solution and I think it will work but I am getting this err:
attempt to index nil with getDescendants

here is the code:

game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(plr)
local playerModel = plr.Character:GetDescendants()
local dummy = workspace:WaitForChild(“Dummy”):GetDescendants()

for i, v in ipairs(playerModel) do
	print(v)
	dummy[v] = playerModel[v]
end

end)

The moment the player joins the game, their character wont be loaded. You could just add a repeat loop that waits until the the character is not nil.

repeat
   task.wait()
until plr.Character ~= nil

Or even better- you can use player.CharacterAdded:Wait() if you don’t want a random repeat loop.

I don’t get the err. anymore but the model doesn’t change, it is still in its basic form

this is the code:

game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(plr)
repeat
task.wait()
until plr.Character ~= nil

local playerModel = plr.Character:GetDescendants()
local dummy = workspace:WaitForChild("Dummy"):GetDescendants()

for i, v in ipairs(dummy) do
	print(v)
	dummy[v] = playerModel[v]
end

end)

#7

Are you trying to make it so the dummy looks like the character?

#8

yes, and everything looks fine but the dummy doesn’t change at all

#9

dummy.Humanoid:ApplyDescription(game:GetService(“Players”):GetHumanoidDescriptionFromUserId(plr.UserId))

#10

^ This should be your entire script:

game:GetService("Players").PlayerAdded:Connect(function(plr)
 dummy.Humanoid:ApplyDescription(game:GetService(“Players”):GetHumanoidDescriptionFromUserId(plr.UserId))
end)

It is working, thank you, but i do still have a problem, the character is in the basic state of staying on his foots but I want it as the original dummy, which is sitting

#12 
game:GetService("Players").PlayerAdded:Connect(function(plr)
 dummy.Humanoid:ApplyDescription(game:GetService(“Players”):GetHumanoidDescriptionFromUserId(plr.UserId))
 plr.CharacterAdded:Wait(c)
 c:WaitForChild("Humanoid")
 c.Humanoid.Sit = true
end)

it is still on its foots

this is the code:

local dummy = workspace:WaitForChild(“Dummy”)

game:GetService(“Players”).PlayerAdded:Connect(function(plr)
dummy.Humanoid:ApplyDescription(game:GetService(“Players”):GetHumanoidDescriptionFromUserId(plr.UserId))
local char = plr.CharacterAdded:Wait(char)
char:WaitForChild(“Humanoid”)
char.Humanoid.Sit = true
end)

#14 
local dummy = workspace:WaitForChild(“Dummy”)

game:GetService(“Players”).PlayerAdded:Connect(function(plr)
dummy.Humanoid:ApplyDescription(game:GetService(“Players”):GetHumanoidDescriptionFromUserId(plr.UserId))
local char = plr.Character
plr.CharacterAdded:Wait(char)
char:WaitForChild(“Humanoid”)
char.Humanoid.JumpHeight = 0 -- if you are using jumppower, do char.Humanoid.JumpPower = 0
char.Humanoid.Sit = true
end)

still on its foots.

this is the code:

local dummy = workspace:WaitForChild(“Dummy”)

game:GetService(“Players”).PlayerAdded:Connect(function(plr)
dummy.Humanoid:ApplyDescription(game:GetService(“Players”):GetHumanoidDescriptionFromUserId(plr.UserId))
local char = plr:WaitForChild(“Character”)
plr.CharacterAdded:Wait(char)
char:WaitForChild(“Humanoi”)
char.Humanoid.JumpPower = 0
char.Humanoid.Sit = true
end)

I tried as well with jumpHeight

Well then it’s on you to figure out, I gotta do other stuff rn.

You are right, thank you for your help because you still kinda solved my problem

So i just made an animation that will activate when the player joins the game. So the sit problem is fixed
