Random Starter Character Not Working as Intended

Help and Feedback Scripting Support

#1

I would like my Avatar to not be present when playing.

I can’t get My avatar to go away and be Replaced with one of the other 9 Avatars

The Random Avatar just gets Stuck inside of The Player and makes it Incredibly hard to Walk & Jump

game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(plr)
	local Characters =
		game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage").Players:GetChildren()[math.random(1,9)]
	
	if game:GetService("StarterPlayer"):FindFirstChild("StarterCharacter")
then
	
	game:GetService("StarterPlayer").StarterCharacter:Destroy()
end

Characters.Name = "StarterCharacter"
Characters.Parent = game:GetService("StarterPlayer")
plr.CharacterRemoving:connect(function(char)
	Characters =
		game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage").Players:GetChildren()[math.random(1,9)]
	
	if 
		game:GetService("StarterPlayer"):FindFirstChild("StarterCharacter") then
		game:GetService("StarterPlayer").StarterCharacter:Destroy()
	end
	Characters.Name = "StarterCharacter"
	Characters.Parent = game:GetService("StarterPlayer")
	end)
end)

This is the only Error I’ve gotten.

For me, there are no errors with your script. I organized it and it works perfectly fine?

game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(plr)
	local Characters = game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage").Players:GetChildren()[math.random(1,9)]

	if game:GetService("StarterPlayer"):FindFirstChild("StarterCharacter") then
		game:GetService("StarterPlayer").StarterCharacter:Destroy()
	end

	Characters.Name = "StarterCharacter"
	Characters.Parent = game:GetService("StarterPlayer")
	
	plr.CharacterRemoving:connect(function(char)
		Characters = game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage").Players:GetChildren()[math.random(1,9)]
		if game:GetService("StarterPlayer"):FindFirstChild("StarterCharacter") then
			game:GetService("StarterPlayer").StarterCharacter:Destroy()
		end
		Characters.Name = "StarterCharacter"
		Characters.Parent = game:GetService("StarterPlayer")
	end)
end)

That works, although the programming isn’t that great. I would use:

game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(player)
	
	player.CharacterAdded:Connect(function(char)
		
          local rand = math.random(1, 9)

		if not game.StarterPlayer:FindFirstChildWhichIsA("Model") then
			
			for i, v in pairs(game.ReplicatedStorage.Players:GetChildren())do

				local isChosen = Instance.new("IntValue", v)
				isChosen.Name = i

				print(rand)

				if v:FindFirstChild(rand) then

					char:Destroy()

					local clone = v:Clone()
					clone.Parent = game.StarterPlayer

					player:LoadCharacter()


				end

			end
			
		end
		
	end)
	
end)

Ah, nevermind.

This is serverbased only, which means all of the players will have the same avatar.

@The1770s, if you want to fix this then I recommend using the code above, or just redoing it with a few remote events (just to organize it better).

The Problem is, I’m not great at Coding and I can’t find anything helpful on how to do this Properly

Thanks for all the Help though.

I’ll try to use the Method you sent me in the Morning.

This didn’t seem to work for me. I didn’t get any Errors. but the same Glitchy thing where I get stuck in another StarterCharacter keeps happening. (Screenshot in my Post)

It’s most likely your game/any scripts in your game, network issues, or your avatar.
