What are some of the ways to set a character's model

I am trying to turn my character into something else mid-game but, the code I’m using is causing a bit of an issue; the code works fine but, I can’t use External or Intreal variables with it via a local script. I tried several ways and I keep hitting a roadblock so I’m wondering if there is other ways to turn the character into a custom rig. This is the code I’m using for it right now

local oldModel = player.Character
	local newModel = model:Clone()

	local moving = false
	local idling = false
	local RUN_SPEED = 32
	local oldCFrame = oldModel:GetPrimaryPartCFrame()

	player.Character = newModel
	newModel.Parent = workspace --  this follows the current character loading behavior
	newModel:SetPrimaryPartCFrame(oldCFrame)

You can use RemoteEvents to transfer things between client-side and server-side.

just make it in the server via a script

if you want to make all players have the same character all the times , just make the character then name it “StarterCharacter” and put in in the StarterPlayer

no, it’s only for one player the script is in the workspace, this is the local script, and the Z ability is not being fired when it gets to the Z part of the variable gets switched back somehow
But, if I take out the sever being fired and the character model changing the problem stops, so I’m guessing it’s the way that the character is being changed.

local RS = game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage")
local UIS = game:GetService("UserInputService")
local CubeShiftEvent = RS:WaitForChild("CubeShiftEvent")
local NVal = false
local CubeShiftEvent = RS:WaitForChild("CubeShiftEvent")
local model = game.ReplicatedStorage.StarterCharacter
--
local VoidShift = RS:WaitForChild("Void")
local isRunning = false

UIS.InputBegan:Connect(function(input,gameProcessed)

	--print("Starting our connection with NVAL having the value of ", tostring(NVal))
	if not gameProcessed then

		if input.UserInputType == Enum.UserInputType.Keyboard then
			if input.KeyCode == Enum.KeyCode.E then
				NVal = true
				print(" has been set")
				if NVal then
					wait(.1)
				CubeShiftEvent:FireServer(model)
				

					if input.UserInputType == Enum.UserInputType.Keyboard then
						if input.KeyCode == Enum.KeyCode.Z and NVal then
							print("Nval Is",NVal)
						else
							print("nth")
						end

					end 
					
				end
				
			end
			
			end
	end

		
	if input.UserInputType == Enum.UserInputType.Keyboard then
		if input.KeyCode == Enum.KeyCode.Z and NVal then
			print("Nval Is",NVal)
		else
			print("nth")
		end

	end
end)

are you getting any errors in the output ?

not really sometimes it says It can’t find the child but that’s only if I spam E.
