I changed the starter character, but it's not animated?
Hi, so I made a script (server script for now) to change the starter character. It works, but the character isn't animated. Can someone tell me what to do with the animation script inside my custom character, (or how to make the character animated in general) since I use a script to change the character?
This is the server script I use to change the character:
local Players = game:GetService("Players")
Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(Player)
local Character = Player.Character or Player.CharacterAdded:Wait()
local name = Character.Name
Character:Destroy()
local newchar = game.ServerStorage.DOGTHING:Clone()
newchar.Parent = workspace
newchar.Name = name
Player.Character = newchar
game.Players.CharacterAutoLoads = false
end)

By destroying the default character, you are essentially deleting everything inside the character in workspace which includes the scripts and animations for movement and default player stuff. You will have to make your own animations or create new motor6Ds in roblox's framework that matches the same Part0's and Part1's and the same names of the limbs to use the same default animations on whatever custom character you are using (though it may be a little janky.)
