Swapping starter characters

[blacksuspect]

I want to switch the players starter character into a different starter character that I created when they click the crown.
I’ve tried multiple ways but they just respawn me and nothing happens.

local rs = game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage")
local crown = script.Parent

crown.ClickDetector.MouseClick:Connect(function(player)
	local Gorilla = rs:WaitForChild("Gorilla"):Clone()
	Gorilla.Parent = game.Workspace
	player.Character = Gorilla
end)

How can I change the character to another character?

i’ve also been struggling with it for years and the hacky/not good way i’ve described earlier in this thread is the closest i have been able to accomplishing what i wanted. i hate using the method and would rather use something that isn’t as “beat-around-the-bush” in nature.
