Help with parenting character to ServerStorage

Help and Feedback Scripting Support
#1

I’m trying to parent the player character inside of ServerStorage but it won’t work.

local ServerStorage = game:GetService("ServerStorage")

game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(player)
	player.CharacterAdded:Connect(function(character)
		player.CharacterAdded:Wait() -- i tried this
		player.Character.Parent = ServerStorage
	end)
end)

Is this on the client as the client can not use ServerStorage.

#3

This is on the server in ServerScriptService.

#4

And why are you putting the character in ServerStorage?

#5

So I can store the character inside it when the game is over and parent it to workspace when the game starts.

#6

You can teleport the character to a random spot far away from the main game or create a lobby where people spawn.

#7 
local ServerStorage = game:GetService("ServerStorage")

game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(player)
	player.CharacterAdded:Wait()
	player.Character.PrimaryPart.Anchored = true -- works
	player.Character.Parent = ServerStorage -- doesn't work
end)

I see, the network ownership is handled by the client. Try doing what I said.

#9

you are just simply not able to parent a character to server storage, roblox will not allow it

#10

I tried ReplicatedStorage and it still wouldn’t work.

#11

I don’t have any Network Ownership scripts.

#12

player characters can only exist in workspace you cant parent it to anything else

#13

You don’t need that as setting it to the server will break the ControlModule.

#14

I guess I will anchor the character.

#15

Delete the character, then load character when you need to.(Works the same way)

#16

If what you want is the player’s character model, you can use Character:Clone() and parent it to serverstorage
Apologies if this isnt what you want, maybe I am misunderstanding your question
