The problem is you have the lines 11-15 outside of the if statement, so "character" is wiped. You can move those lines below character to fix it. Let me know if it fixes it!

Here's the modified code.

function module.DressPiggy(noob)
    local character

    if noob.EquippedSkin.Value ~= "" then
        if game.ReplicatedStorage.Skins:FindFirstChild(noob.EquippedSkin.Value) then
            character = game.ReplicatedStorage.Skins[noob.EquippedSkin.Value]:Clone()
        end
    else
        character = game.ReplicatedStorage.Skins.Noob:Clone()
    character.Name = noob.Name

    noob.Character = character

    character.Parent = workspace
    end
end

When I say wiped i mean like it cannot be defined by the script anymore. User#31709 0 — 4y

I'm kinda nooby at scripting, so could you update the script for me, thanks. coreyhsGames 5 — 4y

The character is not wiped, there is a `local character` on the first line of the function, which defines it out of that scope. xAtom_ik 574 — 4y

Yes, except it does not define the character. User#31709 0 — 4y
