Problems cloning character

Help and Feedback Scripting Support

I want to clone a character but for some reason isn’t working.

script:

game.ReplicatedStorage.CloneE.OnServerEvent:Connect(function(plr)
    local char = workspace:FindFirstChild(plr.Name)
    local newchar = char:Clone()
    newchar.Parent = workspace
end)

Is giving error saying: “(…) index nill with ’ Parent ’ (…)”

I already tried using plr.Character:Clone()

Archivable needs to be set to true

You have to make the character Archivable.
When you clone the character do

game.ReplicatedStorage.CloneE.OnServerEvent:Connect(function(plr)
    local char = workspace:FindFirstChild(plr.Name)
    local newchar = char:Clone()
    newchar.Archivable = true
    newchar.Parent = workspace
end)

Based on your code

All characters have their Character.Archivable property off. You can easily solve this by temporarily setting ‘Archivable’ to true and back to false, or you can create a custom dummy which has the HumanoidDescription which is applied to it via Humanoid:ApplyDescription(HumanoidDescription), with the description matching said Player.CharacterAppearanceId. It’s an easier and less ‘hacky’ way in my opinion, and plus you can control the dummy way easier.
