Player Clone doesnt work?

I tried making a copy of myself as for a shadow clone jutsu. Is there a way to make it work? Feel free to add on to the script.

player = game.Players.LocalPlayer
mouse = player:GetMouse()

mouse.KeyDown:connect(function(key)
	if key:lower() == "x" then
		local clone = player.Character:Clone()
		clone.Parent = game.Workspace
		clone.Position = player.Character.Torso.Position + Vector3.new(5, 0, 5)
	end
end)

For some reason you cannot clone the character, So the only way to do this is by cloning everything on the inside of the character and inserting it into a model with the same name as the character:

#Final Product Use UserInputService instead of KeyDown since KeyDown is deprecated.

--LocalScript
local uis = game:GetService("UserInputService")
local plyr = game:GetService("Players").LocalPlayer

uis.InputBegan:connect(function(key,processed)
	if key.KeyCode == Enum.KeyCode.X and not processed then
		local m = Instance.new("Model",workspace)
		for _,obj in pairs(plyr.Character:GetChildren()) do
			obj:clone().Parent = m
		end
		m.Name = plyr.Name
		m:MakeJoints()
	end
end)

Hope it helps!
