Hey! I want to make a game, but I need the player to have a custom avatar that I created. I do not know how I can pull this off, but I built the model that I want the player to have, so I would really appreciate if someone told me how to make the player use this character. The character build is a model if that helps, and let me know if you need anything else from me. Thank you!
Do you want the player to have that custom character from start? Or is it something they have to change from some sort of UI.

If you want the player to have it when they spawn, Simply set character name to “StarterCharacter” and place it in “StarterPlayer”

Name the rig “StarterCharacter”, and then put it into StarterPlayer

Yes, but when I have the model built I name it starter character and I become the character then instantly fall apart and die.
Can you show us your character’s hierarchy?

I am going for a simple design it is supposed to be a horse
but this is just my testing model I just need to find out how to make the player use it, but here is my hierarchy. For the body, head, and neck I just welded everything together so those are just weld constraints. I set the Primary Part as the body, but this is what I have tell me if you need something.

Well it needs many things, a motor 6D, a humanoid, and a lot of stuff, I don’t really know about making custom characters so you should watch a tutorial, but yeah, there’s a lot of stuff missing here.

Ok thank you! I will look at some tutorials to try to figure it out!
I make a fair few custom characters for horses I have made in the past,
1 You will need a HumanoidRootPart (This could be the body)
2 It will need 1x Motor6D from this part as primary part to connect every other part
3. If you have a part like a horse head and that has lots of other parts like eyes and ears then you will need Welds to join the Head in place 0 to all the small parts in place 1.
4. You will need to add an Animation Controller to it
5. You will then need to make your animations for the rig, like Idle, Walk, Jump and any others that you might need.
6. If other players can ride you then you could also add a seat part.
I can give you some basic horses to play around with if you want
I am also making some more realistic horses but I havent finished painting them in Blender yet
