How do I change an R15 character into the skeleton package

For my new game I want to make the characters(R15) change into the skeleton package when they get struck by lightning, but I am unsure how I would do that with R15 characters since they don’t use character meshes like R6 characters do. Thank you!

local players = game:GetService("Players")
local assetService = game:GetService("AssetService")
local insertService = game:GetService("InsertService")

local function makeSkeleton(character)
	local humanoid = character:WaitForChild("Humanoid")
	
	local success, result = pcall(function()
		return assetService:GetBundleDetailsAsync(295)
	end)

	if success then
		if result then
			for _, bundleItem in ipairs(result.Items) do
				if bundleItem.Type == "Asset" then
					local success2, result2 = pcall(function()
						return insertService:LoadAsset(bundleItem.Id)
					end)

					if success2 then
						if result2 then
							if humanoid.RigType == Enum.HumanoidRigType.R6 then
								local r6Folder = result2:FindFirstChild("R6")
								if r6Folder then
									local bundleMesh = r6Folder:FindFirstChildOfClass("CharacterMesh")
									if bundleMesh then
										for _, characterMesh in ipairs(character:GetChildren()) do
											if characterMesh:IsA("CharacterMesh") then
												if characterMesh.BodyPart == bundleMesh.BodyPart then
													characterMesh:Destroy()
												end
											end
										end
										
										bundleMesh.Parent = character
									end
								end
							elseif humanoid.RigType == Enum.HumanoidRigType.R15 then
								local r15Folder = result2:FindFirstChild("R15")
								if r15Folder then
									for _, bundlePart in ipairs(r15Folder:GetChildren()) do
										if bundlePart:IsA("BasePart") then
											humanoid:ReplaceBodyPartR15(Enum.BodyPartR15[bundlePart.Name], bundlePart)
										end
									end
								end
							end
						end
					else
						warn(result2)
					end
				end
			end
		end
	else
		warn(result)
	end
end

players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(player)
	player.CharacterAdded:Connect(function(character)
		if not player:HasAppearanceLoaded() then
			player.CharacterAppearanceLoaded:Wait()
		end
		
		makeSkeleton(character)
	end)
end)

Well I just wrote this which works for both avatar types (R6 and R15).
