Mesh deform character selection goes back to normal player avatar

Hi!
I’m making a game using mesh deform models as the player avatar. I cant script, so I went to check a youtube tutorial. Everything works other than that the mesh deform avatar goes back into the player avatar a few seconds after its selected. This is how it looks like so far https://gyazo.com/158cea2e425a01cb0a4ab30bf0057675

I used this Tutorial
I only changed the “Head” in script to “Cow” so the viewport would work properly.
Here is easy view of the scripts

the main script 
local Player = script.Parent.Parent.Parent
local Content = script.Parent.MainFrame.ScrollingFrame.Content
local Characters = game.ReplicatedStorage.Characters
local SetSubject = Characters.Parent.SetSubject

for index,item in pairs(Characters:GetChildren()) do
	if item:FindFirstChild("Humanoid") then
		local ViewportFrame = Instance.new("ViewportFrame")
		ViewportFrame.Parent = Content
		ViewportFrame.BackgroundTransparency = 1

		local Button = Instance.new("TextButton")
		Button.Parent = ViewportFrame
		Button.Position = UDim2.new(0,0,1,0)
		Button.Size = UDim2.new(1,0,0,15)
		Button.BorderSizePixel = 0
		Button.BackgroundColor3 = Color3.fromRGB(255,255,255)
		Button.Text = "Spawn"
		Button.TextScaled = true

		local Preview = item:Clone()
		Preview.Parent = ViewportFrame

		local Camera = Instance.new("Camera")
		Camera.Parent = ViewportFrame
		Camera.CFrame = Preview.Cow.CFrame + Preview.Cow.CFrame.LookVector * 5
		Camera.CFrame = CFrame.new(Camera.CFrame.Position,Preview.Cow.Position)

		ViewportFrame.CurrentCamera = Camera

		Button.MouseButton1Down:Connect(function()
			script.Parent.Enabled = false
			local ChosenCharacter = item:Clone()
			local CurrentCharacter = Player.Character
			local LocalScripts = {}

			for index2,item2 in pairs(game.StarterPlayer.StarterCharacterScripts:GetChildren()) do
				if item2:IsA('LocalScript') then
					table.insert(LocalScripts,item2:Clone())
				else
					item2:Clone().Parent = ChosenCharacter
				end
			end

			CurrentCharacter.Health:Clone().Parent = ChosenCharacter
			table.insert(LocalScripts,CurrentCharacter.Animate:Clone())		
			ChosenCharacter.Parent = workspace
			Player.Character = ChosenCharacter
			for index2,item2 in pairs(LocalScripts) do
				item2.Parent = ChosenCharacter
			end	
			SetSubject:FireClient(Player,ChosenCharacter.Humanoid)

			local Connection

			local function onDied()
				wait(game.Players.RespawnTime)
				Player:LoadCharacter()
				script.Parent.Enabled = true
				if Connection then
					Connection:Disconnect()
				end
			end

			Connection = ChosenCharacter.Humanoid.Died:Connect(onDied)

		end)

	end
end
ClientRemoteHandler in ReplicatedFirst 
local SetSubject = game.ReplicatedStorage:WaitForChild("SetSubject")

function onEvent_SetSubject(Humanoid)
	workspace.CurrentCamera.CameraSubject = Humanoid
end

SetSubject.OnClientEvent:Connect(onEvent_SetSubject)

Ive searched around for mesh deform character selection tutorials or if other people have asked for it, but havnt seen one yet.
If you could spot something that causes it, id greatly appreciate it!!
Thank you!

I have the same problem. Nobody has made a tutorial on how to make a deformed mesh character selection gui. Only thing I find is how to make starter character, but what happens if I want to change characters.
