Currently I’m trying to make a troll save system (similar to the games World of Trollge). Basically, you can store characters in an inventory. When you equip the characters, your avatar completely changes to the character. The problem is, I dont know how to go about making this. I thought of making a dress function but that would be impractical as I’d have to add that for every character in the game (a lot).
Any help is appreciated 
You can use ApplyDescription on the Humanoid to dress it as a player.
Humanoid:ApplyDescription(Description: HumanoidDescription)
You can get a description of a player via a UserID
local Players = game:GetService("Players");
local UserId = 1
local NewHumanoidDescription = Players:GetHumanoidDescriptionFromUserId(UserId)
I’ve looked around and I saw that, however I was wondering would that work if the rig has extra parts? Example:
You’ll need to add it yourself then. If you have the physical asset of it, you can just copy the body of it and then manualy get all the accessories/addons (for i,v loop) then place them onto the player.
Ah, alright. Thanks. I’ll give it a try!
I tried this, and it hasn’t worked. I think its because theres a StarterCharacter for the game. Is there any other way to fix this?
The real question here is what you want to save? For example if a player unlocks a troll, and you decide to update it afterwards, do you want them to have the old or the updated version? If you want their outfits to update you can simply store custom enums(they can be strings, numbers, or anything that acts as an identifier for a specific troll) to the database and basically load their outfits from a folder within the game itself(according to the troll identifiers in their data). Basically what we’re asking here is what’s the minimal but practical information we need to store in order to distinguish between the owned trolls. Just their names can be enough assuming they’re unique.
Yes, I want their outfits to update, sorry for not being clear 
I used your string method and for some reason, the strings values arent saving. Like, when I swap the characters it originally does change the string value(s) text to the the character’s name, however when I leave and rejoin, the string value(s) text shows up as blank, it didn’t save.

Alright so heres a little update I fixed that yet theres still a problem. When I open it all of the saved items are there besides one. So when I try to insert a new character, it doesnt save. Its hard to explain, sorry but here is a video that will hopefully show what I mean
local PLAYERS = game:GetService("Players")

for i, button: TextButton in buttons:GetChildren() do
if not button:IsA("TextButton") then
continue
end
task.wait(0.1)
if inventory:GetChildren()[i] then
button.Text = inventory:GetChildren()[i].Value
end
for _, object in inventory:GetChildren() do
if (object:IsA("TextButton")) then
button.Text = object.Value
if (button.Text == "") then
button.Text = "Troll"
end
end
end
button.MouseButton1Down:Connect(function()
local current_string = inventory:FindFirstChild("String_"..button.Name)
local selected_troll = player:GetAttribute("Selected_Troll")
