Trying to have different Starter Characters for each player based on a stat

Help and Feedback Scripting Support

I am trying to make it so players have unique starter characters based on what the value of a certain stat attached to them is.

The issue with this is that the newest player to join/change their value will override the starter character for ALL players instead of just that specific player.

I have tried fixes such as not running the code in functions, having the change detector in the player-added function, and moving the script to workspace but neither of those seemed to work.

The code I made is below.

local function change_character(plr)
	local sp = game.StarterPlayer
	
	
	if plr:WaitForChild("EquippedCostume").Value ~= "None" then
		
		if sp:FindFirstChild("StarterCharacter") ~= nil then sp:FindFirstChild("StarterCharacter"):Destroy() else end

	
		   newcostume = game.ServerStorage.Costumes:FindFirstChild(plr:WaitForChild("EquippedCostume").Value):Clone()
			newcostume.Name = "StarterCharacter"
			newcostume.Parent = sp
		
		plr:LoadCharacter()	
		
		
	
		
	else
		sp:FindFirstChild("StarterCharacter"):Destroy()
		
		
		plr:LoadCharacter()	
	end	
end

local function change_characterNoLoad(plr)
	
	local sp = game.StarterPlayer
	
	task.wait()

	if plr:WaitForChild("EquippedCostume").Value ~= "None" then

		if sp:FindFirstChild("StarterCharacter") ~= nil then sp:FindFirstChild("StarterCharacter"):Destroy() else end

	

		repeat
		task.wait()
		
	     newcostume = game.ServerStorage.Costumes:FindFirstChild(plr.EquippedCostume.Value):Clone()
		newcostume.Name = "StarterCharacter"
		newcostume.Parent = sp
		until sp:FindFirstChild("StarterCharacter") ~= nil
		
	
	else
		sp:FindFirstChild("StarterCharacter"):Destroy()
		
	end



end



game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(plr)

		task.wait(3)
	
	change_character(plr)
	
		
	plr:WaitForChild("EquippedCostume"):GetPropertyChangedSignal("Value"):Connect(function()

		task.wait(0.25)
	

	change_characterNoLoad(plr)

		
		
		
end)
end)

How would I go about fixing this code so a player changing their starter character only applies to them and not the entire server, as well as that starter character still showing for everyone including the player?

Figured out the solution myself.
