Script gets ID of "Instance" user instead of the random player chosen

Hello there!

Today I’m trying something a little different.

My attempt here is to load a person’s avatar onto a blank rig—based on a randomly chosen player.

Here’s the code I’m using:

game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function()
	local Players = game.Players:GetPlayers()
	local nplrs = #Players
	local Randomplayer = nil
	if nplrs > 0 then
		Randomplayer = Players[math.random(1, nplrs)]
		print(Randomplayer)
		if Randomplayer ~= nil then
			local id = game.Players:GetUserIdFromNameAsync(Randomplayer)
			print(id)
			local NewHumanoidDesc = game.Players:GetHumanoidDescriptionFromUserId(id)

			workspace.R15.Humanoid:ApplyDescription(NewHumanoidDesc)
		end
	end
end)

It seems to work fine, except instead of getting the ID of the random player, it gets the ID of the user “Instance,” and applies the description of that person onto the rig, which I assume was put in purposely in case of something like this.

If anyone could help me understand what I’m doing wrong, that would be great, thank you!

GetUserIdFromNameAsync() takes a string so you would have to do:

local id = game.Players:GetUserIdFromNameAsync(Randomplayer.Name)

Also player instances have a UserId property so you don’t need to use that function at all:

local id = Randomplayer.UserId
