Help with custom character being applied to the player

Hello. I’m currently making a system in which, depending on join order, the player is assigned a number the corresponds with a custom character. Here I’m using a script under ServerScriptService that assigns a number value to a player depending on the amount of players already in the game, and switching them to that specific character. In my game, I only want one of each character to exist at a time, and so far, only the value registering works. The player does not change to the desired character. How would I go about fixing this? Here is my code:

-- Get services
local Players = game:GetService("Players")
local ServerStorage = game:GetService("ServerStorage")

-- Function to get the number of players in the game and change the character
Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(player)
	print(#Players:GetChildren())
	
	if #Players:GetChildren() == 1 and #Players:GetChildren() ~= 2 then
		
		local value = Instance.new("NumberValue")
		value.Name = "Character#"
		value.Value = #Players:GetChildren()
		value.Parent = player
		if value == 1 then
			
			local character1 = ServerStorage.Characters:FindFirstChild("OfficerShaw")
			local character1Clone = character1:Clone()
			local playerCharacter = player.Character
			character1.Name = player.Name
			playerCharacter = character1Clone
			character1Clone.Parent = game.Workspace
		end
		
	elseif #Players:GetChildren() == 2 and #Players:GetChildren() ~= 1 then
		
		local value = Instance.new("NumberValue")
		value.Name = "Character#"
		value.Value = #Players:GetChildren()
		value.Parent = player
		if value == 2 then
			
			local character2 = ServerStorage.Characters:FindFirstChild("OfficerAdrius")
			local character2Clone = character2:Clone()
			local playerCharacter = player.Character
			character2.Name = player.Name
			playerCharacter = character2Clone
			character2Clone.Parent = game.Workspace
		end
	end
end)

this part on top and bottom should be
player.Character = character1Clone
and
player.Character = character2Clone

I’ve tried this. Same issue still occurs.

Try using Players:GetPlayers() instead

This did not work either unfortunately.

Oh yeah I see it now, it should be value.Value == 1/2 and not value == 1/2
Also try not to set a variable for the character of the player. Directly set the character to the officer character
