Need help with loading cloned character

Hello, the lost people

I am making a cutscene for the horror game I am working on now. But something wrong happens to my character in the cutscene. The character is cloned. Sometimes, the character loaded perfectly, and sometimes the character just looks like a dummy with black skin like the picture.

Here’s a tip: If it don’t work, print everything.
For this I’d be printing targetchar:GetDescendants()
Also you might need to wait for the targetchar to load before hand. Also humanoid description tends to be unstable at best.

Do You get Any Erros when the images not load?

(I think the images are not uploaded correct when the games load, I don’t know which is the original avatar to clone)

4

What image? the error is the cloned character not load

Just try adding a wait() before you clone the character
