If the title isn’t understandable, I am trying to get this:

Into this:

Using code.
(Basically trying to code the dummy to look like a players character)
But, before I ask how, I am gonna ask: Is this possible?

And, if it is, how would I do this?

Many thanks

Update!

Is this possible to do? If so, how would I make it only appear to be the players character, and no one else’s?

I’m pretty sure you can try looking into this.
This is possible.
Not sure if this still works, but it loads the player’s appearance.

The model above uses a value that is a UserId, then, gets the id and finds the hats and things.

game.Players:GetCharacterAppearanceAsync(UserId)

A better title might be, How would I make a basic rig into a player’s character?

How would you load the character by the name and not the userId

I’m pretty sure you still need a UserId, but I could be wrong.

I won’t provide a whole script because this isn’t the place to ask for scripts. The thing below is to help you get to your goal.

I’m sure it’s possible with something like Player:GetUserIdFromNameAsync
You could call a function to grab the players UserId from their name, then update the model with your new id.
