How do I change a players character to a character I made that's in ReplicatedStorage?

I want to know how to change a players character when their player is added if they’re a certain rank in a group.
The character models are in replicated storage
code so far:

local ReplicatedStorage = game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage")
local groupid = 9551727

game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(player)

end)

I just want to know how to change a players character to another character that’s in replicated storage.

To check if a player is in a group, Player:IsInGroup.
To change a character entirely (so completely overriding the default character model to another one), you can do it very easily. I’d recommend doing it under the CharacterAdded event. These are the steps:

  • Save the current character’s position;
  • Destroy the player’s character;
  • Clone the new character that you want, and parent it into the workspace (or wherever you want/need);
  • Set the player’s character to the new model (Player.Character = NewCharacterInstanceHere);
  • Set the new character’s position to the old character’s position you saved earlier.
