I want to make this present the players character to them when they are in the menu, I have tried replacing the humanoid and also replacing the model entirely, none worked and I’m not sure what to do.

local Players = game:GetService("Players")
local dummy = game.Workspace.MainMenu.PlayerChar
local dummyHumanoid = dummy.Humanoid
local id = game:GetService("Players").Player.UserID
local Modle = game.Players:CreateHumanoidModelFromUserId(1537563005)

--1537563005

local Rotation = CFrame.Angles(0, math.rad(140), 0)
local Movement = CFrame.new(-685.991, 13.101, -953.575)

Modle.SetPrimaryPartCFrame(Rotation)
Modle.SetPrimaryPartCFrame(Movement)
wait(1)
dummy:Destroy()

I’m not entirely sure what to do or try next. Any help?

you can spawn a player character, duplicate it, set duplicate parent to another folder, and then remove original.

#3

How would I make it be the player who’s viewing the menu though, and is that not what I have tried to do above?

  1. do it on local script
  2. not, it dont what you tried
#5

If thats client sided, just clone a dummy from a local script and ApplyDescription using the HumanoidDescription of the client

local Description = game.Players:GetHumanoidDescriptionFromUserId(1537563005)

playerDummy = dummy:Clone()
playerDummy.Humanoid:ApplyDescription(Description)

Thats a local script? If you clone the dummy from a server script it wont work.
If thats a local script, whats local id = Players.Player.UserID I think it should be local id = Players.LocalPlayer.UserId

And the dummy doesnt need to be a clone from the original player, just a blank dummy works, the ApplyDescription will do the job to turning it into the player’s appearance

Oh another thing. You are cloning the dummy which is at game.Workspace.MAINMENU, thats not needed.

Store a blank dummy in ReplicatedStorage, and clone it whenerver you need it for the menu.

Example. I have a menu that everytime player clicks Menu Button, it shows a clone of their character. Im not using the real player character, Im just cloning a blank dummy from client side, and apply the HumanoidDescription

Ill look into that soon, I was gonna move it all around after it was working as the previous thing I was doing I had to move it in and out of server storage every time I changed it

You need a model/rig cloned from client side, and you wont be able to clone it from client side if its stored in ServerStorage

local Players = game:GetService("Players")
local Replicated = game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage")

local dummy = Replicated.PlayerChar
local player = Players.LocalPlayer
local id = player.UserId
local Description = game.Players:GetHumanoidDescriptionFromUserId(1537563005)

playerDummy = dummy:Clone()
playerDummy.Humanoid:ApplyDescription(Description)

So like this?

#13

I need to parent it to the workspace right?

Only changed line 7 to
local Description = game.Players:GetHumanoidDescriptionFromUserId(id)
and added this
playerDummy.Parent = game.Workspace.MainMenu

well, you check game.Workspace.MainMenu, if the dummy is spawned or not

#17

It hasn’t spawned

Only other thing I did was change it from playerDummy = dummy:Clone() to local playerDummy = dummy:Clone()

#18

Works now I just needed to move some stuff thanks!

#19

No problem, it was a pleasure!
