I am creating this custom character model that has different types of characters appear depending on which team you choose.
ReplicatedStorage.CreateHumanoid.OnServerEvent:Connect(function(player)
local oldHumanoid = game.ServerStorage.CustomCharacter
local newHumanoid = oldHumanoid:Clone()
newHumanoid.Name = "StarterCharacter"
newHumanoid.Parent = game.StarterPlayer
game.Workspace[player.Name].Animate:Destroy()
end)
The problem is: when player A chooses team A, the “StarterCharacter” will go into everybodies StarterPlayer, therefore making everyone look the same. Is there a way to change this script so that once Player A selects team A, ONLY his or her character changes?

It is kind of obvious the reason, Its because the StarterPlayer goes to every player.
To change this you can Parent the CustomCharacter to the player DIRECTLY (Use the player parameter you’ve set there)
And then you do player:LoadCharacter(CustomCharacter)
Do you mean I do it so that
newHumanoid.Parent = game.Players[player.Name]
You can just do newHumanoid.Parent = player and it will work fine
Doing that makes it so that it returns my normal humanoid? Here is my revised script:
ReplicatedStorage.CreateHumanoid.OnServerEvent:Connect(function(player)
local oldHumanoid = game.ServerStorage.Macrophage
local newHumanoid = oldHumanoid:Clone()
newHumanoid.Name = "Custom"
newHumanoid.Parent = player
player:LoadCharacter("Custom")
workspace[player.Name].Animate:Destroy()
end)
It seems that it makes my default roblox avatar appear.
You dont do player:LoadCharacter(“Custom”), you do player:LoadCharacter(newHumanoid)
(You dont need to use the string)
And you should name newHumanoid to StarterCharacter instead of Custom
Instead of making workspace[player.Name] you should do player.Character
And then do I parent newHumanoid to the player’s workspace character? or the Players Service
You parent to the player. You should learn more of how to use events and objects.
The parameter you put on OnServerEvent is the player instance, player.Character gets the character thats on workspace.
So you would have to parent it to the player so you can load it.
I did what you said? It still returns my default roblox avatar though. Here is a screenshot:
My revised script:
ReplicatedStorage.CreateHumanoid.OnServerEvent:Connect(function(player)
local oldHumanoid = game.ServerStorage.Macrophage
local newHumanoid = oldHumanoid:Clone()
newHumanoid.Name = "StarterCharacter"
newHumanoid.Parent = player
player:LoadCharacter(newHumanoid)
workspace[player.Name].Animate:Destroy()
end)
Oh wait actually you only need to switch this
with this:
player.Character = newHumanoid
player.Character.Animate:Destroy()
When I change my code to your code, nothing shows up, it seems like the Player Character did not load at all.
Oh its because player.Character.Animate doesnt exist
