So, I made a LocalScript in Workspace to fire a RemoteEvent in ReplicatedStorage to change the players character when the character joins, here is an example:

local player = game.Players.LocalPlayer
local Event = game.ReplicatedStorage.MorphEvent
local Morph = Event.Parent.Characters.Morph
player.CharacterAdded:Wait()
Event:FireServer(Morph)

Please Tell me if i did anything wrong.

LocalScripts don’t run in Workspace. Parent it to something like PlayerGui.

Also, I recommend using Players.CharacterAdded in a Players.PlayerAdded event so that you can make your code format easier to understand and practically performance wiser.

it’s still not working.
maybe it has something to do with my Event Script:

local Storage = game.ReplicatedStorage

Storage.MorphEvent.OnServerEvent:Connect(function(Player,Morph: Morph)
	local Character = Player.Character
	local HumanoidRootPart = Character:WaitForChild("Head")
	local MorphClone = Morph:Clone()
	
	HumanoidRootPart.Anchored = true
	
	wait(1)
	
	MorphClone.Name = Player.Name .. ""
	MorphClone:WaitForChild("Head").Position = HumanoidRootPart.Position
	MorphClone.Humanoid.DisplayDistanceType = Enum.HumanoidDisplayDistanceType.Viewer
	local ActivateBackpack = Player.Backpack:GetChildren()
	local Folder = Instance.new("Folder")
	Folder.Parent = game.ServerStorage
	Folder.Name = Player.Name
	for i,Tool in pairs(ActivateBackpack) do
		Tool:Clone().Parent = Folder
	end
	local success, err = pcall(function()
		Character:FindFirstChildOfClass("Tool"):Clone().Parent = MorphClone
	end)
	Player.Character = MorphClone
	local MorphBackpack = Player.Backpack:GetChildren()
	MorphClone.Parent = workspace
	MorphClone.Animate.Disabled = false
	
	for i,Tool in pairs(MorphBackpack) do
		Tool:Destroy()
	end
	for i,Tool in pairs(game.ServerStorage:WaitForChild(Player.Name):GetChildren()) do
		Tool:Clone().Parent = Player.Backpack
	end
	game.ServerStorage:WaitForChild(Player.Name):Destroy()
	for i,Part in pairs(MorphClone:GetChildren()) do
		if Part.ClassName == "Part" or Part.ClassName == "UnionOperation" or Part.ClassName == "MeshPart" then
			Part.Anchored = false
		end
	end
end)

Morph is not a valid type.

Where’d you parent your LocalScript?
Again,

are you sure HumanoidRootPart is supposed to be the player’s head?
Also you should be using task.wait() as its more precise and less laggy than wait()

The HumanoidRootPart won’t work if i’m trying to put the morphclone in the same position as the original character

Morph is my own Variable thing

Event:FireServer(Morph)

Yes, but using : you tell the code that it’s a DataType, where Morph doesn’t exist as a Roblox/Lua DataType.

#10

it still works the same way… @SomeFedoraGuy

#11

Why are you using local script for this anyways

#12

the localscript’s parent is startergui

#13

Well you can acces players gui with server script

localscripts worked for events like

Button.Activated:Connect(function()
   Event:FireServer()
end)
#15

That will also work in server script also, you got any error in logs?

#16

there is Nothing in the logs. :frowning_face: :slightly_frowning_face:

#17 
Button.MouseButton1Down:Connect(function()
   Event:FireServer()
end)
