Copying the player's look onto a dummy through a local script

Help and Feedback Scripting Support
#1

I have tried many ways and nothing is working, im trying to convert a r15 dummy and make it look like the player locally.

#2

Maybe try Humanoid:ApplyDescription(), Players:GetHumanoidDescriptionFromUserId(), or Player:LoadCharacterWithHumanoidDescription().

#3

i tried but nothing happens unless i have been doing it wrong

#4

Can you give me the script you have been trying and I can see if there are any errors.

#5 
game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(plr)
	script.Parent.Humanoid:ApplyDescription(plr.Character.Humanoid:GetHumanoidDescriptionFromUserId(plr.UserId))
end)

this is a local btw

#6

So this is under a humanoid in the workspace correct?

#7

its in a dummy just in the character nothing else

#8

Let me rephrase that, is it a descendant of the workspace?

#9

yes the npc is in workspace, some say that i should clone it using localscript

#10

LocalScripts cannot run under the workspace if they are not under a character model, I recommend putting the LocalScript in StarterPlayerScripts, with the following code:

local humanoidToEdit = nil -- replace nil with the humanoid

local player = game:GetService("Players").LocalPlayer

local character = player.Character or player.CharacterAdded:wait()
local humanoid = character:WaitForChild("Humanoid")

humanoidToEdit:ApplyDescription(humanoid:GetHumanoidDescriptionFromUserId(player.UserId))

(I think it should work)

local humanoidToEdit = workspace.ThePlayer:WaitForChild("Humanoid") -- replace nil with the humanoid

local player = game:GetService("Players").LocalPlayer

local character = player.Character or player.CharacterAdded:wait()
local humanoid = character:WaitForChild("Humanoid")

humanoidToEdit:ApplyDescription(humanoid:GetHumanoidDescriptionFromUserId(player.UserId))

This is will probably work (GetHumanoidDescriptionFromUserId is a method of Players and not a Humanoid):

local humanoidToEdit = nil -- replace nil with the humanoid

local Players = game:GetService("Players")
local player = Players.LocalPlayer

--local character = player.Character or player.CharacterAdded:wait()
--local humanoid = character:WaitForChild("Humanoid")

humanoidToEdit:ApplyDescription(Players:GetHumanoidDescriptionFromUserId(player.UserId))

So, what we can do is, on the Server, when a Player joins, clone a dummy, set the appearance, and then let the client make it visible, so no other client can see it.

What do you mean by that, like is it a viewport Frame, or using Camera manipulation, etc.

You can use CreateHumanoidModelFromUserId

It’s as simple as this local script put in PlayerScripts

local Players = game:GetService("Players")
local LocalPlayer = Players.LocalPlayer

local Test = Players:CreateHumanoidModelFromUserId(LocalPlayer.UserId)

Test.Parent = workspace

Thank you dude. You basically told me the solution to my problem (I am not the OP of this forum, but still thank you)
