Do what @PostVivic , and if you want to clone it, just turn off(or on) archivable on the players character and Clone() it.

There is no reason to have all the players in a folder, just do

for index, player in ipairs(game.Players:GetPlayers()) do
local character = player.Character
if character then
print(character.Name)
end
end

Why do you actually want to do this? It’s probably not a good solution to you’re problem.

#8

still doesnt work and why it is bad to do that?

#9

Because why do you need to? It’s extremely inefficient because players are already in a folder, game.Players contains all the players,

I believe that code doesn’t work because CharacterAdded fires before than the character is parented to workspace. Because of that it’s parented to workspace after that code parents it to the folder. This might work

game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(player)
	player.CharacterAdded:Connect(function(character)
		character.Archivable = true
		character.AncestryChanged:Wait()
		character.Parent = workspace.npc_directory
	end)
end)

However, as others have said, there’s probably a better solution to your problem.

this works still not anyways I think I should not do that

#12 
while true do
   game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(player)
        player.CharacterAdded:Connect(function(character)
        character.Archivable = true
        character.AncestryChanged:Wait()
		character.Parent = workspace.npc_directory
	end)
    wait()
end)

end

I don’t know if this works, but it’ll continuously check if there’s a new player when it’s run.

This did crash my Roblox Studio. Thanks for everyone helping me! But could you guys please test it before sending it to me? I mean this could change the length of this comment section.

put a script in game.StarterPlayer.StarterCharacterScripts saying

local Character = script.Parent
repeat
wait()
until Character and Character:FindFirstChild("Humanoid")
Character.Parent = workspace["npc_directory"]
