Problem with spawning model in Replicated Storage

[Guest_F4ke (Fake_Guest)]

The intended purpose of this script is to spawn the “Shade” Entity in the game through Replicated storage, however when I run the script, nothing happens and the entity is not cloned and inserted into the game.

CODE: > local limit = 10

local replicate = script.Parent
local min = .5
local max = 2
local characterInfo = {
maxhp = 100,
walkspeed = 16
}
local monster = replicate.Shade:Clone()

for i = 1, limit do
local enemy = monster
local humanoid = monster.Humanoid

local scale = math.random() * (max - min) + min
humanoid.BodyHeightScale = scale 
humanoid.BodyWidthScale = scale 
humanoid.BodyDepthScale = scale 
monster.Parent = workspace

for p, v in pairs(characterInfo) do 
    humanoid[p] = v
end 

end

(I’ve tried parenting the newly cloned Model into workspace.)

Try cloning the monster by itself to see if it successfully replicates itself to the server.

Make sure this script is a server script, located in workspace or ServerScriptService.
Also make sure that the model is Archivable, or else it won’t clone.

Also-Also, I think you’re trying to spawn multiple enemies.
If so, I’d suggest moving the clone statement into the loop, instead of cloning outside of the loop:

local monster = replicate.Shade

for i = 1, limit do
     local enemy = monster:Clone() -- clone the monster
     local humanoid = enemy.Humanoid
    -- ...
    enemy.Parent = workspace
end

It indeed does clone the model, thanks. Now what?

I suggest making sure the humanoid/monster you are trying to put into workspace is a model first if it’s not already.

To put it in workspace:

game.ReplicatedStorage.MODEL NAME.Parent = workspace

To put it back in ReplicatedStorage:

workspace.MODEL NAME.Parent = game.ReplicatedStorage
