Spawn as many StarterCharacter Models

[Naidenov_Official]

I’ve placed many “StarterCharacter” Models in the StarterPlayer class - It’s supposed to make my character spawn as one of the Models.

The problem is that I spawn every time as the same character. It’s like I have Var1, Var2, Var3, Var4 and I always spawn as Var 4 (this is only an example).

I was thinking if the StarterCharacters were constantly destroyed and pasted again from ReplicatedStorage they will change it’s order and I’ll maybe spawn as a different character every time I spawn? With a while loop. But I don’t know how to do that, I’ve tried a couple of times and it didn’t work I’m a beginner into scripting.

Any ideas?

You should try inserting all the characters into a table and then choose a random one.
These should help:

For more randomness you can do:

math.randomseed(tick())

You can make an array of all the characters available to spawn with, then pick a random index within the array.

local chars = {Var1, Var2, Var3, Var4}

local charIndex = math.random(1,#chars)

local selectedchar = chars[charIndex] -- will be one randomly chosen char from the array

Hope this helps!

Spawning as a custom character based on team?

Hello fellow Robloxians. I am having some issues figuring out how to spawn a custom character based on what team you are on. In my game, I have a humans and a zombies team. I obviously want to spawn the players on the zombie team as one of my zombie models, but I can’t seem to get it working. P.S. the “undead” variable is my ‘ReplicatedStorage.Zombies’ folder

Here is my code (I'm sorry if it looks bad lol)

How To Make A Custom Character Loader

I would like to be able to load a different custom character for each player in my game. In ServerStorage, I have all the custom character models already stored. So I just need to load one of the stored character models to each player. How would I go about creating a custom character loader script that loads a custom character for each player? Edit: I was able to get this to work using the following code in a PlayerAdded script: player:LoadCharacter() local customCharacter = game.ServerStor…

I recommend to use HumanioidDescriptions and not StarterCharacters if your characters are r15

StarterCharacter isn’t meant to be used this way. You’re only supposed to have one StarterCharacter which you don’t modify at any point in your game. If you find yourself stuck with cases like this, you need to change the overall idea in how you’re going to transform characters into new ones.

Such solutions can be found in the post above mine.
