How come my character dies when given a new torso?
So last time I asked how to morph a character and I did find an answer. It worked, however I wanted to try and use welding. I managed to remove the character's right and left leg and replaced it with my custom morph's legs. I moved on to the torso and when I made it uncollidable and transparent and replaced it with my custom morph's torso, it killed my player when I tested it. I then tried to remove the torso and quickly replace it but that did not work either. I disabled the script and looked into my player's torso, thinking that the Motor6D were the problem and I was right. So now I'm thinking about how to successfully remove the torso or make it invisible and replace it with my own. Here's the script.
game.Players.PlayerAdded:connect(function(plr)
plr.CharacterAdded:connect(function(char)
wait()
--Works here
local newleftknee = game.ServerStorage.CustomModel.LeftKnee:Clone()
newleftknee.Parent = char
local weld = Instance.new("Weld", newleftknee)
weld.Part0 = newleftknee
weld.Part1 = char.Torso
weld.C0 = CFrame.new(0.5, 1.5, 0)
char["Left Leg"]:Destroy()
newleftknee.Anchored = false
local newleftleg = game.ServerStorage.CustomModel.LeftLeg:Clone()
newleftleg.Parent = char
local weld1 = Instance.new("Weld", newleftleg)
weld1.Part0 = newleftleg
weld1.Part1 = char.Torso
weld1.C0 = CFrame.new(0.5, 3, 0)
newleftleg.Anchored = false
local newrightknee = game.ServerStorage.CustomModel.RightKnee:Clone()
newrightknee.Parent = char
local weld2 = Instance.new("Weld", newrightknee)
weld2.Part0 = newrightknee
weld2.Part1 = char.Torso
weld2.C0 = CFrame.new(-0.5, 1.5, 0)
char["Right Leg"]:Destroy()
newrightknee.Anchored = false
local newrightleg = game.ServerStorage.CustomModel.RightLeg:Clone()
newrightleg.Parent = char
local weld3 = Instance.new("Weld", newrightleg)
weld3.Part0 = newrightleg
weld3.Part1 = char.Torso
weld3.C0 = CFrame.new(-0.5, 3, 0)
newrightleg.Anchored = false
--Problem starts here
local newtorso = game.ServerStorage.CustomModel.Torso:Clone()
newtorso.Parent = char
newtorso.CanCollide = false
local weld4 = Instance.new("Weld", newtorso)
weld4.Part0 = newtorso
weld4.Part1 = char.Head
weld4.C0 = CFrame.new(0, 1, 0)
char.Torso:Destroy()
end)
end)

I've run into this problem before, I know what I'm doing.
So, I know this is an old question, but I'm on my way to answer all unanswered questions on this lonesome summer night.
The problem is, you can't have 2 Torso. Think about it, it's insane How would the script tell the difference from one another? It has to choose one. And? It chooses the wrong one. When the second one you added, named torso Entered the model, the Humanoid immediately defines that as the new Torso. And when the Torso or Head is moved and the other limbs aren't, let's say that character's going to have a bad time.
Great, now we have the problem, now the solution?
Well, we all know how the humanoid defines the Torso. It's name is Torso, right? Yeah, that's it. The solution is easy. Just don't name is Torso. Feel free to make it clone the name Torso, but change it's name after.
local newtorso = game.ServerStorage.CustomModel.Torso:Clone()
newtorso.Name = "newtorso"
newtorso.Parent = char
newtorso.CanCollide = false
local weld4 = Instance.new("Weld", newtorso)
weld4.Part0 = newtorso
weld4.Part1 = char.Head
weld4.C0 = CFrame.new(0, 1, 0)
char.Torso.Transparency = 1
There's also another problem, I just wanted to point that one out though. There is no way to replace a limb of a character with a different one. You may think it just needs to contain a limb name (Right Arm, Torso, Head) but the truth is, not really. You see, it is the humanoid that defines what's what. So making a new torso for the character just won't work, because even if you add another torso in the model named torso, the humanoid will still define the old one as the torso. And when that torso is removed, instead of finding another torso, the humanoid will die.
how sad.
