Don’t worry. The ‘if’ statement will only run only if the player has accessories otherwise nothing will happen!

#22

Wrong, index can be cloned only if the index is a instance (essentially the table has to be a dictionary)

Alright, here. This should help!

game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(player)
	player.CharacterAdded:Connect(function(character)
		task.wait(5)
		
		local customCharacter = script:WaitForChild("StarterCharacter"):Clone()
		
		for i, accessory in pairs(character:GetChildren()) do
			if accessory:IsA("Accessory") then
				print(accessory.Name) -- Optional (just checking)
				accessory.Parent = customCharacter
			end
		end
		
		task.wait(2.5)
		
		character = customCharacter
		
		print("Character changed for " .. player.Name)
	end)
end)

Plus: Found a post. It should help!

Hey so I checked it out and did what he did, and even tired what someone replied to him did, and still not working correctly.

#30

Refer to Players | Roblox Creator Documentation (just noticed that GetCharacterAppearanceSync was deprecated) Players | Roblox Creator Documentation for getting the player accesories instead of polling at CharacterAdded (as it is a bad practice, it also does not gurantee all of the accesories will be there by 5 seconds later)

Could you help me try and swap the rig for my custom one, cause I have been looking for an hour and trying everything I see and I have got nothing.

#32

Alr here I have an example for u.

local customChar = script.StarterCharacter

game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(plr)
    plr.CharacterAdded:Connect(function(char)
        for i = 0, 5, 1 do
            game:GetService("RunService").Heartbeat:Wait() -- allow all the parts in the character to load
        end
        local clone = customChar:Clone()
        for i, v in pairs(char:GetDescendants()) do
            if v:IsA("Accessory") then
                v:Clone().Parent = clone -- u can set the position too but uh idk
            end
        end
        plr.Character = clone
        clone.Name = plr.Name -- not needed but for organization, u dont want 10 things named "StarterCharacter" in workspace :troll:
        clone.Parent = workspace
    end
end

Watch out for typos i wrote this in a hurry. or u could try using what @XDify01 said. If you want I can give u a detailed explaination.

Alr, so thats bcz some part in ur model is anchored.

#35

Everything is unanchored though

#36

so there is something called humanoid description you can copy the humanoid description and paste it using this link (humanoid description is located in player character → humanoid → humanoid description)

I literally used this script a day ago and it worked fine. Well then is ur humanoid walkspeed more than 0?
other than that u could replace my script with this:

local customChar = script.StarterCharacter

game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(plr)
    plr.CharacterAdded:Connect(function(char)
        for i = 0, 5, 1 do
            game:GetService("RunService").Heartbeat:Wait() -- allow all the parts in the character to load
        end
        local clone = customChar:Clone()
        for i, v in pairs(char:GetDescendants()) do
            if v:IsA("Accessory") then
                v:Clone().Parent = clone -- u can set the position too but uh idk
            elseif v:IsA("BasePart") then
                v.Anchored = false
            end
        end
        plr.Character = clone
        clone.Name = plr.Name -- not needed but for organization, u dont want 10 things named "StarterCharacter" in workspace :troll:
        clone.Parent = workspace
    end
end

I think HumanoidDescriptions would be the best approach to this. I believe they should still work on a custom rig like this as long as it is setup correctly. You’ll want to be using game.Players: GetHumanoidDescriptionFromUserId() and Character.Humanoid:ApplyDescription()

You can either wait until the Character Spawns and use the ApplyDescription method as above, or set game.Players.CharacterAutoLoads to false and set up your own character loading system utilizing LoadCharacterWithHumanoidDescription
