ViewportFrames | Using the player added event to clone a player's character into it

Hi all, thanks for reading in advance :smiley:

At the moment, I’m having a bit of an issue with the playeradded event. Basically what I’m trying to do is create a clone of the player’s character when they respawn/join the game and put it into a viewport frame that’s inside an avatar customisation gui. I may be incorrectly using the event, I’m not sure but any help is appreciated.

local playerz = game:GetService("Players")

playerz.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(player)
	player.CharacterAdded:Connect(function(Char)
		Char.Archivable = true
		local clone = Char:Clone()
		local anchorchildren = clone:GetChildren()
		for i, child in pairs(anchorchildren) do
			if child.ClassName == "Part" then
				child.Anchored = true
			end
		end
		local cf = CFrame.new(8.52, 0.5, -27.24) * CFrame.Angles(0, math.rad(-90), 0)
		local vpf = player.PlayerGui:WaitForChild("Avatar").PoliceScotlandUniforms.ViewportFrame
		clone.Name = player.Name.."CLONED"
		clone.Humanoid.DisplayDistanceType = "None"
		clone:SetPrimaryPartCFrame(cf)
		clone.Parent = vpf
		vpf.CharacterCamera.CameraSubject = clone:WaitForChild("HumanoidRootPart")
	end)
end)

Just set the reset on spawn property to false and it should stay there.

But when the player spawns in, their character is grey and not their avatar.

I think the reason is these viewportframes have trouble rendering textures and such.
