The workaround for not doing LocalPlayer.Character = NewRig (Not the actuall code just a barebones example), was to delete everything unnesisary from the current character, create a clone of the new rig, and move everything from that rig into the current character, however since that came up with the same problem I just got rid of that function in favor of setting the character directly.
This is probably the case, my idea is that the game probably doesn’t know there’s a new rig inside of the player’s character, therefore making you unable to move manually
That link is not anywhere close to what im trying to acheive. Its a fully custom rig, not just a different HumanoidDescription and accesories.
I dont feel like that would be the case, as more things would cease to function if it didnt register the character correctly. However if you know how to fix it if that is indeed the problem then ill try it.
I found another link which is outdated sadly, but it will probably give you some ideas though [outdated] Changing Character while ingame with Custom Rigs:

Thats effectively the same as what im doing so unfortunately no luck there.
I’ve gone through a lot of the forums on character changing/issues people had with it and unfortunately the problem im having was not covered in any of them, most of the problems were simple rig mistakes or other things along those lines. I beleive iv narrowed the problem down to the PlayerModule’s Keyboard module, however im not sure exactly how it functions or what other modules require it so currently im a bit stuck. It seems like the ContextActions are being unbound when the character changes, although the function that would do that isnt being called.
So your problem here is the rig doesn’t work on the player when you change them WHILE they are in the game, but if you put the rig in StarterPlayer it works?
No it doesnt work in either case, specifically movement keys have no effect on the character after the change is made while other things like shift lock still work.
This article might work for you Why won't this rig work? - #8 by Confederation_Major They are also having a problem with their rig
No luck there either unfortunately, the rigs have humanoids and play animations correctly. (At least when the animator script doesnt decide to mix them all lol)
What about the humanoid RigType? did you change it in your character?
The only values for RigType are R6 and R15, the rigs are neither but its set as R6 because the regular players have that type forced.
*Regular players being the ones that havent had their character changed.
Is it possible if I can see the rig or how you arranged it in the explorer?
There’s probably something wrong with your rigs because most of the time rigs are supposed to work on characters if they are set up correctly.
Sure thing, would you rather I send a screenshot, take a clip of it on Medal or that I stream it on discord?
Theres 6 rigs in total, all of them have the same issue.
Screenshot is fine.
