I am a beginner scripter, I am currently working on my first game which is a murder mystery type of game and when you load into the map when the round starts it changes your characters appearance to one of a model located in a folder in replicated storage, how do i make it so when you are in the round and type in the chat, instead of it displaying your username it displays the models name in the chat, for instance instead of Below_AverageGenius my name when i type in the chat would be Adam. And how could I make it so the script resets your name back to normal once you are back in the lobby? Any help would be appreciated, thank you 
Wait, what do you mean by one of a model, like a randomly selected model in that folder?
Yes that is what I mean, When you get teleported to the map at the beginning of the round it changes your character’s appearance to be a randomly selected character model in that folder
okay, but what’s the folders name? I have the script ready but I left it blank.
the folders name is “Characters”
here,
local ReplicatedStorage = game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage")
local Players = game:GetService("Players")
local characterModelsFolder = ReplicatedStorage:WaitForChild("Characters")
local function assignRoleAndChangeName(player)
local randomModel = characterModelsFolder:GetChildren()[math.random(1, #characterModelsFolder:GetChildren())]
local originalDisplayName = player.DisplayName
player:SetAttribute("OriginalDisplayName", originalDisplayName)
player.DisplayName = randomModel.Name
local character = player.Character
if character and randomModel then
for _, child in pairs(character:GetChildren()) do
if child:IsA("Accessory") or child:IsA("Clothing") or child:IsA("Shirt") or child:IsA("Pants") then
child:Destroy()
end
end
for _, part in ipairs(randomModel:GetChildren()) do
local clone = part:Clone()
clone.Parent = character
end
end
end
local function resetDisplayName(player)
local original = player:GetAttribute("OriginalDisplayName")
if original then
player.DisplayName = original
player:SetAttribute("OriginalDisplayName", nil)
end
end
-- I have no idea how your round system works, but if you can just put your starting round function or something else that starts a round, then when you do call the assignRoleAndChangeName() function to the killer or murderer.
also reply with your round handler and role handler so i can add the remaining. If it dosent work ill try my best to fix it.
Im sorry, when i say im a beginner i mean like I just started 3 days ago… If i send my round system script would that help? It uses remote events to select the players role.
It would still help, just because it uses remote events does not mean its not going to be helpful
