How do I make a custom character in a script?

			local charged = game.ServerStorage.Characters["Charged Creeper"]:Clone()
			charged.Name = player.Name
			player.Character = charged

			charged.Parent = workspace
			
			wait()
			
			char:Destroy()

That’s the code I have so far, but it bugs when I destroy their leftover character. If I don’t destroy it, it leaves their old character just sitting there.

When you have created your own custom character you can just insert it into StarterPlayer as a Model and then when you test it out it will set everyone’s character to your custom made character.

I’m sorry, I made a new post about this, but this character has a rarity (math.random) so I can’t just do that

No, that is way off. When they respawn, I want them to morph

What if you try destoying the original character then set the new character

wouldn’t that result in them respawning then immediately after they respawn? That wouldn’t look good

Maybe, I’m opening studio now; Gimme a minute.

EDIT: I don’t think so, because in my “prop hunt” test I set the parent of the original character to be a folder in RS and then clone the new item.

wait so when do you destroy the character then? To stop a memory leak

10

Well sorry but I’m not the one to ask about memory issues, however, destroying the character before you change the char does work.

No, like if you put it in RS, it would eventually stack characters and there’d be thousands

12

Oh, no. I made sure its only the original character, if it already exists (in the RS folder) then don’t add it, just destroy.

13

wait, so in my case I want to change their character when they respawn, or before the visual of them on the ground. So, what would I do in that case then?

14

You want it so whenever the character dies/respawns a random character gets loaded in, however, that random char cannot be the OG char?

So, its this different character that is a bit bigger than the ones in StarterPlayer.

Alrighty, let me try somethings!

here’s the code I have so far, I added a wait() at the top of it, but didn’t test it yes

Edit: that’s in player.CharacterAdded() function

Okay, one more thing I need to know. Is it always the same model?

yeah it the character in starter player stays the same, I just want that bigger one to spawn in once in a while
