Script not changing player's avatar

Try placing the character model in ReplicatedStorage rather than ServerStorage

#6

Alright, I’ll try that and let ya know

#7

Nope, same thing happens. Didn’t work.

#8

Are you getting any errors at all?

#9

Nothing in the console, nothing at all

#10

It may be a problem with the model itself, considering that it’s working fine on my end when using the base of your code on a simple dummy model.

#11

Hm, I’ll try it with a dummy and see if that works. If it does, I know it’s something with the model.

#12

Hm, doesn’t work with the dummy either.

#13

What code did you use for it? Might be how I’m using it.

#14 
local Players = game:GetService("Players")
local characterSet = false

--

Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(player)
	player.CharacterAdded:Connect(function(character)
		if characterSet then return end
		characterSet = true
		
		local cf = character.PrimaryPart.CFrame
		character:Destroy()

		player.Character = game.ReplicatedStorage.StarterCharacter:Clone()
		player.Character:SetPrimaryPartCFrame(cf)
		player.Character.Parent = workspace
	end)
end)
#15

Hm, just tried it out on a different game, works just fine. Might be how I determine when the player’s team is changed.

#16

But wait, if I have a team change thing, how would I do that without the character constantly changing?

#17

Character constantly changing?

#18

because it’s adding a different character to the player, meaning it would loop.

#19

Just add an if statement to determine whether the character was already set, much like I’ve done above

#20

What about if you reset your character?

#21

Change the state back to false when the player dies

#22

The problem with that is it’s a SERVER script. So it wouldn’t do it for each individual player.

#23

A simple solution would be to store the players with their state inside of a table

e.g when applying this on my above code

local Players = game:GetService("Players")
local characterStates = {}

--

Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(player)
	player.CharacterAdded:Connect(function(character)
        if characterStates[player.Name] then return end
		characterStates[player.Name] = true
		
		local cf = character.PrimaryPart.CFrame
		character:Destroy()

		player.Character = game.ReplicatedStorage.StarterCharacter:Clone()
		player.Character:SetPrimaryPartCFrame(cf)
		player.Character.Parent = workspace

        character:WaitForChild("Humanoid").Died:Connect(function()
            characterStates[player.Name] = false
        end)
	end)
end)
#24

As far as I know, you can’t change an avatar like that (and I may be wrong in here but I also tried this kind of stuff and it is just meh). Deleting a character will cause issues with controls and even more. The character of a player cannot be changed if you do so.

Either try HumanoidDescription and Humanoid:ApplyDescription(HumanoidDescription)
or even weld all the parts of your SCP uniform together to the weld them to the limb that it must be connected to…
