You can write your topic however you want, but you need to answer these questions:

  1. What do you want to achieve? Keep it simple and clear!
    I want to clone the players appearance locally to a dummy so only they can see it.

  2. What is the issue? Include screenshots / videos if possible!
    So far I have it to where the dummy gets cloned and gets its appearance “applied” serversided. Then I have a localscript that moves said dummy onto the screen. But the problem is that the dummy does not get its appearance applied to it, all that happens is a black humanoid gets placed into the spot that I want.

  3. What solutions have you tried so far? Did you look for solutions on the Developer Hub?
    I started completely local and have found that that does not work, I’ve been looking around developer hub trying to find a solution but can’t seem to find one.

Heres the serverscript:

game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(plr)
	--{-2132.575, 330.4, 12228.333}, {0, -45, 0}
	local player = game.Players.LocalPlayer
--	local id = player.UserId
	
	--local character = player.Character or player.CharacterAdded:Wait()
	
	plr.CharacterAdded:Connect(function(character)
		local Appearance = character.Humanoid:GetAppliedDescription()
		print("cloning")
		local dum = game.ReplicatedStorage.character:Clone()
		print("cloned")
		print("parenting")
		dum.Parent = workspace
		print("parented")
		print("naming")
		dum.Name = plr.Name.."'s dummy"
		print("Named")
		print("loading appearance")
		dum.Humanoid:ApplyDescription(Appearance)
		print("appearance applied")
	game.ReplicatedStorage.Events.appearance:FireClient(plr, dum)
end)
end)

And heres the localscript:

local player = game:GetService("Players").LocalPlayer
local pos = workspace.charspot.CFrame
game.ReplicatedStorage.Events.appearance.OnClientEvent:Connect(function(dum)
	dum:Clone()
	dum.Torso.CFrame = pos
end)
