Sending a dummy/humanoid through RemoteEvents

Help and Feedback Scripting Support
#1

In my character designer I have a humanoid which is locally changed to look like the player. When the player is finished with their customizations they click “Save” and a remote event fired. On a server script, It listens for the event to be triggered and then applies the accessories to the player server-wise .This dummy that is being changed is already made.

How would I pass this model through an event, but still be able to access it in the server.

char refrenced in local script = Dummy Model in Workspace

My code looks like this.
local script

char = game.Workspace.PlayerModel
savebtn.MouseButton1Down:Connect(function()
	click:Play()
	applyCharDetailEvent:FireServer(char)	
	end)

server script

applyCharDetailEvent.OnServerEvent:Connect(function(player, char)
	
	
	-- checks n stuff here to prevent exploiters
	
	
	--  THIS SECTIONIS PURELY JUST TO APPLY THE ACCESSORIES AND REMOVE THE OLD ONES
	for c,x in ipairs(player.Character:GetChildren()) do
		if x and x:IsA("Accessory") then
			x:Destroy()
		end	
	end
	for c,x in ipairs(player.Character.Head:GetChildren()) do
		if x and x:IsA("Accessory") then
			x:Destroy()
		end
	end
	for c,x in ipairs(player.Character.UpperTorso:GetChildren()) do
		if x and x:IsA("Accessory") then
			x:Destroy()
		end
	end
	
	for i,v in ipairs(char:GetChildren()) do
		if v and v:IsA("Acessory") then
			local new = v:Clone()
			addAccoutrement(player.Character,new)
		end
	end
	for i,v in ipairs(char.Head:GetChildren()) do
		if v and v:IsA("Acessory") then
			local new = v:Clone()
			addAccoutrement(player.Character.Head,new)
		end
	end
	for i,v in ipairs(char.UpperTorso:GetChildren()) do
		if v and v:IsA("Acessory") then
			local new = v:Clone()
			addAccoutrement(player.Character.UpperTorso,new)
		end
	end
	
	local bodyColor2=workspace[player.Name]['Body Colors']
	local bodyColors = char["Body Colors"]
	
	if bodyColor2 then
		bodyColor2.HeadColor3 = bodyColors.HeadColor3
		bodyColor2.LeftArmColor3 = bodyColors.LeftArmColor3
		bodyColor2.LeftLegColor3 = bodyColors.LeftLegColor3
		bodyColor2.RightArmColor3 = bodyColors.RightArmColor3
		bodyColor2.RightLegColor3 = bodyColors.RightLegColor3
		bodyColor2.TorsoColor3 = bodyColors.TorsoColor3
	else
		print("ERROR: Unable to find the players body colors; AvatarMenuHandler")
	end
	
	local shirt = char.Shirt.ShirtTemplate
	local pants= char.Pants.PantsTemplate
	player.Character:WaitForChild("Shirt").ShirtTemplate=shirt
	player.Character:WaitForChild("Pants").PantsTemplate=pants
end)

This code is functional and runs with error, but it actually displays the server’s version of char.
Server Player Model looks like this:

Player looks like this
https://gyazo.com/86ae60397ff87212f7d3927b6c6ad0a4

Player Should look like this:
https://gyazo.com/8f64fa0103d0397708faa4ed54edd378

So, How would I pass the right version(the clients version) of this model in the remote event? Or should I do it a separate way?

Without seeing the rest of you code, it sounds like you are manipulating the dummy client side, then just sending the reference to the server in the event. What you are sending is effectively just a memory pointer to the dummy in the workspace and not the updates that the client has made to it.

Perhaps you could get a list of the clothing and accessories that have been changed and fire them through to the server in a table instead.
