Spawning as R15 in the Place where characters are Forced to use R6

Me twenty-one, I got this issue as well.

#26

Temporary fix for now that worked for me.

Note that using this method, the character doesn’t keep any StarterCharacterScripts, which could cause issues. Implementing a function like the one below should solve most problems though:

local players = game:GetService("Players")
local starterPlayer = game:GetService("StarterPlayer")

local function transferStarterScripts(character)
	local starterScripts = starterPlayer.StarterCharacterScripts:GetChildren()

	-- Remove this line if you don't use an Animate script in StarterCharacterScripts
	character:FindFirstChild("Animate"):Destroy()

	for _, script in pairs(starterScripts) do
		local scriptClone = script:Clone()
		scriptClone.Parent = character
	end
end

for _, player in pairs(players:GetChildren()) do
	if player.Character.Humanoid.RigType == Enum.HumanoidRigType.R15 then
		local humanoidDescription = players:GetHumanoidDescriptionFromUserId(player.CharacterAppearanceId)
		local r6Character = players:CreateHumanoidModelFromDescription(humanoidDescription, Enum.HumanoidRigType.R6)
		r6Character:SetPrimaryPartCFrame(player.Character.PrimaryPart.CFrame)
		r6Character.Name = player.Name
		player.Character = r6Character
		r6Character.Parent = workspace
		transferStarterScripts(r6Character)
	end
end

Having a StarterCharacter inside of StarterPlayer also seems to fix it.

this is not a FIX, but more a workaround, Roblox still needs to pay more attention to the real problem

#28

if it was resolved, now its back, i only started experiencing it a week ago and it happens every single time

#29

Thanks all for alerting us that the issue is still happening! We are looking into it again.

Team Creates always sets Character to R15 when I choose R6
Setting Avatar to R6 does not work
Inability to set game as r6; Game always loads as r15 both in game and in studio
My avatar keep loading in r15 even though I put it strictly to r6 in settings
#30

is this the reason all the animations stop working when I join the game from roblox and not roblox studio?

yes, I have also encountered this bug, especially when I create a new game and set it to R6, I stopped encountering it for some time but now I’m getting this bug where all animations just don’t work when I enter the game from the roblox app and not roblox studio. Maybe it’s just me… and my code…

#31

can we get an update? this issue seems trivial to fix (atleast, to me, but im not experienced with this bug) considering one can just add a script to fix it, but is really annoying

Would like an update on this as well, tools break and parts referenced by scripts just don’t exist…

Just happened to me too, my game is based on r6 so it breaks it completely…

Still happening, very frustrating because it breaks my scripts due it being r15 instead of r6

#35


This issue occasionally happens to me in one of my projects (and yes team create is enabled, it’s owned by a group), It doesn’t completely break it, however it’s still annoying to restart the play test

This was the only fix that worked for me.

Hey, it’s 2025 and I still get this issue sometimes, just happened when I create a place and set the avatar type to R6 but I keep spawning as R15. Only “fix” I got here was closing the place and opening again but it stills randomly happens. Very odd.
