I only mentioned it twice, but here is the code for it:

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

local Character = Player.Character or Player.CharacterAdded:Wait()
local Humanoid = Character:WaitForChild("Humanoid")

local Statue = workspace.Statue.Char

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

local Character = Player.Character or Player.CharacterAdded:Wait()
local Humanoid = Character:WaitForChild("Humanoid")

local Statue = workspace.Statue.Char -- Assuming "Statue" is a Model in the workspace

-- Player Item Functions

function Accessory(v, Material, Color) -- Accessory Function
	local Handle = v:FindFirstChildWhichIsA("MeshPart")
	
	Handle.TextureID = ""
	Handle.Material = Material
	Handle.Color = Color
end

function MeshPart(v, Material, Color) -- Part Function
	v.Material = Material
	v.Color = Color
end

function BaseAppearance(Morph, MorphHumanoid, Scale, Material, Color)
	MorphHumanoid:WaitForChild("BodyHeightScale").Value *= Scale
	MorphHumanoid:WaitForChild("BodyDepthScale").Value *= Scale
	MorphHumanoid:WaitForChild("BodyWidthScale").Value *= Scale
	MorphHumanoid:WaitForChild("HeadScale").Value *= Scale
	
	for i, v in pairs(Morph:GetChildren()) do
		if v:IsA("Pants") then
			v.PantsTemplate = ""
		elseif v:IsA("Shirt") then
			v.ShirtTemplate = ""
		elseif v:IsA("ShirtGraphic") then
			v:Destroy()
		elseif v:IsA("Accessory") then
			Accessory(v, Material, Color)
		elseif v:IsA("MeshPart") then
			MeshPart(v, Material, Color)
		end
	end
	
	MorphHumanoid.DisplayDistanceType = Enum.HumanoidDisplayDistanceType.None
end
function StatueAppearance()
	-- Variables
	
	Character.Archivable = true
	local CharacterMorph = Character:Clone()
	local MorphHumanoid = CharacterMorph:WaitForChild("Humanoid")
	-- Statue Body Appearance Variables
	
	local Player_Material = Player:WaitForChild("Material").Value
	local Scale = 15
	local Material = Enum.Material[Player_Material]
	local Color = Color3.new(Player:WaitForChild(R.Value, Player.G.Value, Player.B.Value))
	-- Statue Position
	
	CharacterMorph:SetPrimaryPartCFrame(Statue.PrimaryPart.CFrame) -- Set the character's position to match the Statue's position
	-- Revert the statue to normal and set all the changes
	
	Statue:ClearAllChildren()
	CharacterMorph.Parent = Statue
	BaseAppearance(CharacterMorph, MorphHumanoid, Scale, Material, Color)
	Character.Archivable = false
end

StatueAppearance()

Well it looks fine to me.

Does the script I gave work for you?

#63

Yes it did *charss ijweofjqweofjqwoefjqwei

#64

Awesome! I am glad I got you somewhere!

#65

It is hard to find the issue cuz we don’t know how did you built your game.

#66

Well I mean but it’s really scuffed and it caused a few bugs. And by a few I mean a single bug–it says CorrodedMetal is not a member of Enum.Material. Thanks for pretty much writing my entire code though.

#67

it was a tostring value. Make sure to turn it into a Enum

#68

I’m confuzzled. It worked before when I did string value and Enum.Material[String] but now it doesn’t when I do startvalue = “CorrodedMetal”.

#69

Would I do type = enum? 30000000

#70

Here’s a method to turn a string into a Enum

local function stringToEnum(enumType, stringValue)
	local enumItems = Enum[enumType]:GetEnumItems()

	for _, enumItem in ipairs(enumItems) do
		if enumItem.Name == stringValue then
			return enumItem
		end
	end

	return nil
end

local enumType = "Material"
local stringValue = "Plastic"
-- Enum.Material.Plastic
local enumItem = stringToEnum(enumType, stringValue)
if enumItem then
	print("Enum item found:", enumItem.Name, enumItem.Value)
else
	print("No matching Enum item found.")
end
#71

Couldn’t I just turn it into a string and then do Enum.Material[Material], though?

#72

I mean. yeah that works. here’s a method just in case

local function stringToEnum(enumType, stringValue)
    local enum = Enum[enumType]

    if enum then
        return enum[stringValue]
    end

    return nil
end
#73

I’m sorry but I’m stupid–where would I put that function and use it?

#74

You put it in the ServerScript and where the Material check happens convert the string into a Enum

#75

I did it like this:

local function stringToEnum(enumType, stringValue)
	local enum = Enum[enumType]

	if enum then
		return enum[stringValue]
	end

	return nil
end

local StatsTable = {
	["Money"] = {
		Type = "IntValue",
		StartValue = 0,
		Parent = "leaderstats"
	},
	["Fans"] = {
		Type = "IntValue",
		StartValue = 0,
		Parent = "leaderstats"
	},
	["Color"] = {
		Type = "Color3Value",
		StartValue = Color3.fromRGB(255, 255, 255),
		Parent = "leaderstats"
	},
	["Material"] = {
		Type = "Material",
		StartValue = "CorrodedMetal",
		Parent = "leaderstats"
	},
		stringToEnum("Material", "CorrodedMetal") 
}

and it says:

  19:46:39.460  Type is not a valid member of "Enum.Material.CorrodedMetal"  -  Server - ModuleScript:26

this is modulescript:

local StatsHandler = {}

function StatsHandler.AddInstance(Path,InstanceType,Value,Name)

	local SunkistOrange = Instance.new(InstanceType,Path)

	SunkistOrange.Name = Name

	if (InstanceType == "Folder") then

		return SunkistOrange

	end

	SunkistOrange.Value = Value

	return SunkistOrange

end


function StatsHandler.AddFromTable(Table,Player)
	local Sun = {}
	for Name,EachStat in Table do

		local a = Instance.new(EachStat["Type"],Player:FindFirstChild(EachStat["Parent"]))

		a.Name = Name

		a.Value = EachStat["StartValue"]

		table.insert(Sun, a)

	end
	return Sun
end

return StatsHandler
#76

No, you should call the method in the PlayerAdded event handler where the material is actually applied to the saved value.

now it says:

  20:27:39.801  Unable to create an Instance of type "Material"  -  Server - ModuleScript:26
#78

I just realised I have a much easier way to do all this and sorry for wasting your time you deserve like 10 solutions but here is your well deserved solution.
