How To Make NPC Look Like Local Player

[DemonicPandazYT (Galactic)]

im trying to do this because i dont want to make 12 different winner boxes and 12 different cameras for the specific players in the game.

[OfficialPogCat (POG_Cat)]

local Oldhumanoid = game.Workspace:FindFirstChild("DancingRig").Humanoid --Replace with pathway to Humanoid of the NPC. 

local function applyAppearance()
	local humanoidDescription = game.Players:GetHumanoidDescriptionFromUserId(localPlayer.UserId)
	task.wait(0.5)
    Oldhumanoid:Destroy()
    local Newhumanoid = Instance.new("Humanoid", game.Workspace:FindFirstChild("DancingRig"))
	Newhumanoid:ApplyDescription(humanoidDescription)
end

applyAppearance()

is this script staying in starter player scripts?

[OfficialPogCat (POG_Cat)]

yes, and still a local script in starterplayerscripts

[DemonicPandazYT (Galactic)]

alright getting close so the problem im encountering now is the rig doesnt have my shirt on or my pants

[OfficialPogCat (POG_Cat)]

Make sure the NPC has no clothing instances that override whats being added. Can you go into a play test and select the npc and send me the explorer hierarchy of the NPC. Also check if there is pants and a shirt instances, and if they have a ShirtID and PantsID

[DemonicPandazYT (Galactic)]

its just the rig nothing else in it.

chars limit ahhhhh

[DemonicPandazYT (Galactic)]

my bad dude i didnt fully read that part just skimmed across it yeah give me a minute ill do it now

[DemonicPandazYT (Galactic)]

[OfficialPogCat (POG_Cat)]

Try this.

local Oldhumanoid = game.Workspace:FindFirstChild("DancingRig").Humanoid --Replace with pathway to Humanoid of the NPC. 
local localPlayer = game.Players.LocalPlayer
local function applyAppearance()
	local humanoidDescription = game.Players:GetHumanoidDescriptionFromUserId(localPlayer.UserId)
	task.wait(0.5)

	local Newhumanoid = Oldhumanoid:Clone()
	Newhumanoid.Parent = game.Workspace:FindFirstChild("DancingRig")
	Oldhumanoid:Destroy()
	Newhumanoid:ApplyDescription(humanoidDescription)
end

applyAppearance()

[DemonicPandazYT (Galactic)]

yup now it looks exactly like me when i join i just got to make it so that it looks like local player thats looking at it

[DemonicPandazYT (Galactic)]

im gonna do a test right now in a normal server to see if the rig looks like me when i join and looks like the other player when they join

[DemonicPandazYT (Galactic)]

yup it works you did it when i join on my alt it looks like them for them and when i join it looks like me for me

you can save a player’s character to repstorage on join.
have a part in repstorage named “DancePosition” and position it and rotate it for the new rig to be spawned in

Serverscript in ServerScriptService:

game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(player)
player.CharacterAdded:Connect(function(character)
local newchar = character:Clone()
newchar.Parent = game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage")
local animation = Instance.new("Animation", newchar)
animation.Name = "Dance"
animation.AnimationId = (animid)

newchar:PivotTo(game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage").DancePosition.CFrame

for _, v in pairs(newchar:GetDescendants()) do
if v:IsA("BaseScript") then
v:Destroy()
end
end
end)
end)

game.Players.PlayerRemoving:Connect(function(player)
game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage"):FindFirstChild(player.Name):Destroy()
end)

Localscript in StarterCharacterScripts

local player = game.Players.LocalPlayer
local character = game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage"):FindFirstChild(player.Name)

function loadchar()
character.Parent = workspace
character.Humanoid:LoadAnimation(character.Dance):Play()
end

loadchar()

make sure that you set parent back to repstorage when finished the scene

@remcodesremcodes

character.Humanoid:LoadAnimation(character.Dance):Play()

This will cause all clients to run this animation, which is not recommended. As animations are related to the humanoid Animator creation by the server

Instead, if you use the method that I have with a dance animation and do:

local Oldhumanoid = game.Workspace:FindFirstChild("DancingRig").Humanoid --Replace with pathway to Humanoid of the NPC. 
local localPlayer = game.Players.LocalPlayer
local Animation = nil -- Put animation path here 
local function applyAppearance()
	local humanoidDescription = game.Players:GetHumanoidDescriptionFromUserId(localPlayer.UserId)
	task.wait(0.5)

	local Newhumanoid = Oldhumanoid:Clone()
	Newhumanoid.Parent = game.Workspace:FindFirstChild("DancingRig")
	Oldhumanoid:Destroy()
    if Newhumanoid:FindFirstChild("Animator") then
      Newhumanoid:FindFirstChild("Animator"):Destroy()
    end
    local Animator = Instance.new("Animator", Newhumanoid)
	Newhumanoid:ApplyDescription(humanoidDescription)
    Newhumanoid:LoadAnimation(Animation):Play()
end

applyAppearance()

That will make it run on the client only, because of a new client ran humanoid Animator

Edited using new animator

according to this

Deprecating LoadAnimation on Humanoid and AnimationController

Some of you have already noticed that Humanoid:LoadAnimation, AnimationController:LoadAnimation, and all the other animation related APIs on Humanoid and AnimationController were marked deprecated. This wasn’t an accident! Of course these deprecated methods are not going away; we can only rarely remove deprecated functionality without breaking games. However, we strongly discourage their use. Using these deprecated methods as intended can easily lead to broken animation replication. It’s a tra…

that is not the case

(maybe because I read it idk)

[OfficialPogCat (POG_Cat)]

Sorry, Animation Controller.

Still won’t work. Here is one of my posts where I learned animations are replicated to the server based on the animation controller as seen here. the same is applied with the deprecation of loading animations with humanoid

Make Automatic Animation Replication OPTIONAL

With FilteringEnabled you can create a local Animator or AnimationController and use that to play the animations locally. If you want to play local animations for a Humanoid you can replace the Animator in the Humanoid on the client and then play animations as normal. Because the new Animator is local only the animations will not automatically replicate.

In order to make local animations, the animator must be destroyed and remade on the client. Because by default they will replicate to the server
