How can I replace an individual player's character mid-game?

[Lua_Fool]

I’m making a battlegrounds game where players can change their character at anytime, each of which have their own set of animations. How can I replace the player’s character, while maintaining the same functionality of the original character?

Hey! I’m not sure what you mean by

How can I replace the player’s character

You could try morphing it? Idk what you mean by replacing it like a whole new character? Elaborate please, I am confused.

local newCharacter = game.ServerStorage.Character:Clone()

newCharacter.Parent = player.Character.Parent
newCharacter:PivotTo(player.Character:GetPivot())
plr.Character = newCharacter

something like that

This implementation uses different starter characters for different teams:

How to make a StarterCharacter for different teams?

local Game = game local Players = Game:GetService("Players") local Teams = Game:GetService("Teams") local ServerStorage = Game:GetService("ServerStorage") local RedTeam = Teams.RedTeam --Red team. local BlueTeam = Teams.BlueTeam --Blue team. local RedCharacter = ServerStorage.RedCharacter --Character model for red team. local BlueCharacter = ServerStorage.BlueCharacter --Character model for blue team. local function OnPlayerAdded(Player) local function OnCharacterAdded(Character) if Player.T…

(this message was directed to OP, not EzraPig)Well here is a morpher function :

local function Morpher(Char,plr,Desired_Position)
	local charClone = Char:Clone()
	charClone.Name = plr.Name
	plr.Character = charClone

	local rootPart = charClone:FindFirstChild("HumanoidRootPart") or charClone:FindFirstChild("Torso")

	if rootPart then
		rootPart.CFrame = Desired_Position
	end

	charClone.Parent = workspace
end

if that is any help. This script was sourced from a Shrek Morpher™

I’m trying to replace the player’s current character with a new character.

local StarterCharacter = game.ServerStorage.StarterCharacter --starter character in storage

local function OnPlayerAdded(Player)
	local function OnCharacterAdded(Character)
		if Character.Name == "StarterCharacter" then return end --avoids creating infinite starter characters
		local StarterCharacterClone = StarterCharacter:Clone() --clone starter character
		Character:Destroy() --destroy old character
		Player.Character = StarterCharacterClone
		StarterCharacterClone.Parent = workspace
	end
	
	Player.CharacterAdded:Connect(OnCharacterAdded)
end

game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(OnPlayerAdded)

I just used a random starter character from the toolbox:

yes, mine and his suggestions will work. You just need to get a character.
