How to load a player's character's model?

Asked 1,351 views1 answers

I am trying to make a winning cutscene so when a player wins a round, the game will load their character, make them dance and have a cutscene saying "Player's name won the game!!!!!"

I've tried using

:GetCharacterAppearanceAsync()

although this doesn't seem to work directly, it loads in all my accesories and my body parts but everything is grey, everything is in the wrong place and I doubt all my body parts are even all there.

How can I actually load a character's model that looks like it is in - game

I'm sure there's an easy function for this, I just can't find it.

Thanks

IMPORTANT

I also want to do this at run time

You can do this with Players:GetHumanoidDescriptionFromUserId and Humanoid:ApplyDescription

The first will get the HumanoidDescription of the player. A HumanoidDescription instance contains everything about a player's appearance: packages, accessories, faces, etc.

Then, you can use the second function on a dummy rig using Humanoid:ApplyDescription() with the HumanoidDescription you just got from the player. For example:

local Players = game:GetService("Players")

--Put a dummy or template rig in ServerStorage
local rig = game:GetService("ServerStorage"):WaitForChild("Dummy"):Clone()

--This is my userid, you should replace it with the winner in your version
local testId = 56389

--Get player appearance
local HumanoidDescription = Players:GetHumanoidDescriptionFromUserId(testId)

--Apply appearance to dummy rig
rig.Humanoid:ApplyDescription(HumanoidDescription)
rig.Parent = workspace

--The rig should now look like the appearance of the player. You can animate it, position it, etc.
