this script is severely unfinished and needs multiple parts so i dont mind sharing but theres a folder in replicated storage that should spawn this r6 dummy model but it doesnt and i cant really find a work around i feel like this is simple im just not expanding my tiny brain to find the answer i would really appreciate any help alot :slight_smile:

this is a local script by the way its supposed to only work for a single client but i think its kinda obvious with the name jumpscare popping up in it

The issue may be from trying to move the dummy. You can use Model:MoveTo to move the entire dummy at the same time. If that doesn’t work, check the workspace to see if the dummy is even being parented correctly.
