What Dev answered is almost correct, however it won't work since the character itself isn't archivable. Theres also a lot of unneccesary code, and ideally it can look as short as this:

for _, chars in pairs(workspace:GetChildren()) do
	if chars:FindFirstChild("Humanoid") and chars ~= plr.Character  then
		chars.Archivable = true
		local copy = chars:Clone()
		copy.Parent = workspace
		game.Debris:AddItem(copy, 10)
	end
end

All you have to do is check if theres an instance with a humanoid, and it isn't the plr's char
You have to make their character archivable before you copy it, otherwise you get an error
The copy will already have the same position as the instance it copies

Also you might not even have to set the parent again, not sure if the clone still keeps the original's parent.

		for _, part in pairs(model:GetChildren()) do
			if part:IsA("Humanoid") and not plr.Character.Humanoid then 
				local copy = part.Parent:Clone()
				
				copy.Archivable = true -- Archivable is turned off for all Player's Characters, you have to Enable it if you want to make a copy of a Character
				
				copy.Parent = workspace
				copy.HumanoidRootPart.CFrame = part.Parent.HumanoidRootPart.CFrame
				game.Debris:AddItem(copy, 10)

			end
		end

	end
end

hope this helps
