How would I create a clone of a player in-game?

[CheeseGodTheEpic (CheeseGod)]

I was wondering how I could create a copy (or multiple) copy(ies) of a player in-game. I at first thought that I could change the humanoid’s CharacterAppearanceId, but then I realized that that only exists in players. The thing is, I can’t add a player either (because of privacy issues) How would I make clones like Clone Tycoon 2 did for their arena?

You need to enable the Archivable property.

local playerToClone = ""

function CloneMe(char) --a function that clones a player
   char.Archivable = true
   local clone = char:Clone()
   char.Archivable = false
   return clone
end

local charClone = CloneMe(game.Players[playerToClone].Character) --connects function and defines "charClone" as the result of the function
charClone.Parent = game.Workspace

I haven’t played Clone Tycoon, but I assume you’re talking about multiple characters of the same player.
You could use the Archivable property of the player’s character (which’s false by default) and set it to true, then call Character:Clone() to clone the character, set the property back to false, do what you need to do with the clone, and wa-la - you have a clone.

@TheeDeathCaster @alxzile So now I have a clone type checker that’s printing TwoNormal, and then a server script that’s receiving that same variable and changing it to Derpee_Kirbee. Can one of you explain this?

Local Script

game.ReplicatedStorage:WaitForChild("GameState").Changed:Connect(function()
	if game.ReplicatedStorage.GameState.Value == "Intermission" then
		script.Parent.Visible = true
	else
		script.Parent.Visible=false
	end
end)




local descendants = script.Parent:GetDescendants()
for x=1, #descendants, 1 do
	local descendant = descendants[x]
	if descendant:IsA("TextButton") and descendant.Name == "ClickBox" then
		descendant.MouseButton1Click:Connect(function()
			local cloneType = descendant.Parent.Name
			print(cloneType)
			local remoteEvent = game.ReplicatedStorage:WaitForChild("CloneTypeEvent")
			remoteEvent:FireServer(cloneType)
			script.Parent.Visible=false
		end)
	end
end

Server Script

game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(player)
	
	local gameState = game.ReplicatedStorage:WaitForChild("GameState")
	gameState.Changed:Connect(function()
		if gameState.Value == "Intermission" then
			game.ReplicatedStorage:WaitForChild("CloneTypeEvent").OnServerEvent:Connect(function(cloneType)
				_G.CloneType = cloneType
			end)
				
				for x=10, 0, -1 do
				if x <= 0 then
					gameState.Value = "InGame"
				end
				local remoteEvent = game.ReplicatedStorage:WaitForChild("TimeUntilNextGameEvent")
				remoteEvent:FireClient(player,x)
				wait(1)
			end
		end

		if gameState.Value == "InGame" then
			print("In Game")
			print(_G.CloneType)
			if _G.CloneType == "TwoNormal" then
				print("2 normal clones being made")
				repeat wait() until player.Character ~= nil
				player.Character.Archivable = true
				for x=1, 2, 1 do
					local clone = player.Character:Clone()
					clone.Parent = workspace
					clone.Name = player.Name .. " Clone"
				end
			end
		end
	end)

end)
