I have this script here which changes the startercharcacter when they say a certain word but it changes everyone’s startercharacter, when I just want it to change the person who said the words startercharcater. Here is the script:

local Players = game:GetService("Players")

local player = Players.LocalPlayer



local davidvenin2015Variable = game.Lighting.davidvenin2015
local NormalStarterCharacter = game.StarterPlayer.StarterCharacter



game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(player) -- runs every time a player joins
	player.Chatted:Connect(function(msg) -- runs once the player that joined chats a message
		if msg == "davidvenin2015" then -- create your conditions
			davidvenin2015Variable.Name = "StarterCharacter"
			NormalStarterCharacter.Name = "NormalCharacter"
			davidvenin2015Variable.Parent = game.StarterPlayer
			NormalStarterCharacter.Parent = game.Lighting
			player:LoadCharacter()
		end
	end)
end)
#2 
local Players = game:GetService("Players")
local player = Players.LocalPlayer
local davidvenin2015Variable = game.Lighting.davidvenin2015
local NormalStarterCharacter = game.StarterPlayer.StarterCharacter

	player.Chatted:Connect(function(msg) 
		if msg == "davidvenin2015" then -- create your conditions
			davidvenin2015Variable.Name = "StarterCharacter"
			NormalStarterCharacter.Name = "NormalCharacter"
			davidvenin2015Variable.Parent = game.StarterPlayer
			NormalStarterCharacter.Parent = game.Lighting
			player:LoadCharacter()
		end
	end)

Just put this script in a local script!

#3

Do I put it in serverscriptservice?

#4

No in a local script for example in starter player scripts. Because it is a local script you dont have to add the player added function!

#5

It doesn’t change the startercharacter for some reason.

#6

Can you show us the Variable youve put in Lighting?

#7

Players.LocalPlayer is for the client ONLY. The server is not a player, so it returns as nil and breaks. Please read this: Roblox Client-Server Model . The script will work if its local to the player (meaning you put it in one of the following services/objects: A tool, StarterPlayerScripts, StarterCharacterScripts, StarterPack, StarterGui.

Put that in ServerStorage and Rename it as StarterCharacter

#10

If you would like to do this on the server, do this instead:

local Players = game:GetService("Players")

local davidvenin2015Variable = game:GetService("Lighting"):WaitForChild("davidvenin2015")
local NormalStarterCharacter = game:GetService("StarterPlayer"):WaitForChild("StarterCharacter")

Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(player) -- runs every time a player joins
	player.Chatted:Connect(function(msg) -- runs once the player that joined chats a message
		if msg == "davidvenin2015" then -- create your conditions
			davidvenin2015Variable.Name = "StarterCharacter"
			NormalStarterCharacter.Name = "NormalCharacter"
			davidvenin2015Variable.Parent = game:GetService("StarterPlayer")
			NormalStarterCharacter.Parent = game:GetService("Lighting")
			player:LoadCharacter()
		end
	end)
end)

Sorry, but isnt that the same script as he mentioned in his first post?

Yes, but I fixed some syntax and added the appropriate code for the server.

That still doesn’t work for some reason.
