Loading players appearance onto a StarterCharacter

Help and Feedback Scripting Support
#1

I have a StarterCharacter that looks pretty much the same as a default R15 character, only difference is some of the limbs and stuff have less tris, and there’s a camera part for animations. I’m trying to load the players appearance onto this StarterCharacter, but it isn’t working as intended. Joining the game when using
Player:LoadCharacterWithHumanoidDescription() will load the startercharacter as an all black avatar. and using Player:LoadCharacter() and then Humanoid:ApplyDescription() will apply the HumanoidDescription correctly, but all the welds seemingly break, the camera part stays up in the spot where the player spawned

Does Players:GetHumanoidDescriptionFromUserId(plr.UserId) work, or do you want it to load the character?

local players = game:GetService("Players")
players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(plr)
    local humanoidDescription = players:GetHumanoidDescriptionFromUserId(plr.UserId)
    plr.CharacterAdded:Connect(function(char)
        char:WaitForChild("StarterHumanoid"):ApplyHumanoidDescription(humanoidDescription)
        -- note that this has to be done on the server.
    end)
end)

Loading the character works fine, applying the HumanoidDescription is what’s broken.

Maybe try Humanoid:ApplyDescriptionReset()?

Tried this and I don’t think it changed anything.

This is what my code currently looks like. The character loads in with it’s appearance all fine but the camera part stays where the player first spawned. I had to anchor the camera so it wouldn’t fall through the map. I also had to set the camera.camerasubject property to the character.
