Hi. I've scripted an unbevel character script with help of many Redditors, but after a certain ammount of player join (I think that's the problem) the script just breaks. Any solutions?

01--LEFT ARM--
02 
03local function trueWeld(a,b)
04    local weld = Instance.new("ManualWeld", a)
05    weld.Part0 = a
06    weld.Part1 = b
07    weld.C0 = CFrame.new()
08    return weld
09end
10 
11local function dressCharacter(character)
12    character:WaitForChild("Left Arm").Transparency = 1
13    local fakeLeftArm = game.Workspace.Player:WaitForChild("lArm"):Clone()
14    fakeLeftArm.Parent = character
15    trueWeld(character:WaitForChild("Left Arm"),fakeLeftArm)
16        character:WaitForChild("lArm").CanCollide = false
17end
18 
19game.Players.PlayerAdded:connect(function(player)
20    player.CharacterAdded:connect(dressCharacter)
21    if player.Character then
22        dressCharacter(player.Character)
23    end
24end)

That's part of my script. It's basically that, copypasted for every part of the player model. Any clue?

No need for the conditional on line 21, as the 'CharacterAdded' event ensures the character has been loaded and exists. DigitalVeer 1473 — 9y

So I remove that line and it'll be OK? broetchen 0 — 9y

DigitalVeer: If the character already happened to exist before the `:connect`, it wouldn't happen. That probably shouldn't happen, but you never know --it makes this more general (e.g., you can use it not just on newly joining players) BlueTaslem 18071 — 9y
