Doesn't print out the entire character, just HumanoidRootPart

I’m attempting to make my script to print out all of the children in the character’s model, but it just prints out HumanoidRootPart - what’s the concurrent issue here?

Edit: I’ve updated the script that it seems to be broken on:

local rep = game.ReplicatedStorage
local characters = rep.Characters
local character = {characters.Darisel, characters.Jo, characters.Kennedy, characters.Rabish}
game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(plr)
	plr.CharacterAdded:Connect(function(char)
		for _, i in pairs(char:GetChildren()) do
			if i:IsA("Accessory") then
			i:Destroy()
			end
		local randomCharacter = character[math.random(1, #character)] 
		local cloneAccessories = randomCharacter.Accessories:Clone()
		cloneAccessories.Parent = char
		for _, c in pairs(cloneAccessories:GetChildren()) do
		c.Anchored = false
		end
			if i:IsA("Shirt") then
				i.ShirtTemplate = randomCharacter.Shirt.ShirtTemplate
			else
				local shirt = Instance.new("Shirt", char)
				i.ShirtTemplate = randomCharacter.Shirt.ShirtTemplate
			end
			if i:IsA("Pants") then
				i.PantsTemplate = randomCharacter.Pants.PantsTemplate
			else
				local pants = Instance.new("Pants", char)
				i.PantsTemplate = randomCharacter.Pants.PantsTemplate
			end
		end	
	end)
end)

My only guess would be that the character doesn’t fully load in before you try to print its children. Though, that shouldn’t really happen.

That’s strange. I did the code by its own, and it seems to function, but it doesn’t operate at all when I provide an entire script. Is there an issue with this script?

local rep = game.ReplicatedStorage
local characters = rep.Characters
local character = {characters.Darisel, characters.Jo, characters.Kennedy, characters.Rabish}
game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(plr)
	plr.CharacterAdded:Connect(function(char)
		for _, i in pairs(char:GetChildren()) do
			if i:IsA("Accessory") then
			i:Destroy()
			end
		local randomCharacter = character[math.random(1, #character)] 
		local cloneAccessories = randomCharacter.Accessories:Clone()
		cloneAccessories.Parent = char
		for _, c in pairs(cloneAccessories:GetChildren()) do
		c.Anchored = false
		end
			if i:IsA("Shirt") then
				i.ShirtTemplate = randomCharacter.Shirt.ShirtTemplate
			else
				local shirt = Instance.new("Shirt", char)
				i.ShirtTemplate = randomCharacter.Shirt.ShirtTemplate
			end
			if i:IsA("Pants") then
				i.PantsTemplate = randomCharacter.Pants.PantsTemplate
			else
				local pants = Instance.new("Pants", char)
				i.PantsTemplate = randomCharacter.Pants.PantsTemplate
			end
		end	
	end)
end)

If you’re running your code on the client, this would be the problem. When CharacterAdded is fired, not all parts have finished replicating from the server to the client, so the client won’t ‘see’ all of the parts. I got around this by making a module that returns a table containing all of the part names in a standard R15 rig, and I WaitForChild() on each part name.

The new Avatar load order might solve this problem as well when it comes out.
