A Char changer script?

Asked by

I want to make a script that will help me change people into a char when they join the game. This one is not working. Put this as a script.

01function Intialize(character)
02    for i, child in pairs(script:GetChildren()) do
03        if child.className == "Script" or child.className == "LocalScript" then
04            local c = child:Clone()
05            c.Parent = character
06            c.Disabled = false
07        end
08    end
09end
10 
11function Apply(obj)
12    if obj.className == "Humanoid" and obj.Health > 0 and obj.MaxHealth > 0 then
13        Intialize(obj.Parent)
14    end
15    for i, child in pairs(obj:GetChildren()) do
16        Apply(child)
17    end
18end
19 
20Apply(game.Workspace)
21game.Workspace.ChildAdded:connect(Apply)

Put this inside that script as a regular script.

01wait()
02 
03ch = script.Parent
04set = game.Workspace --This MUST be the original area.
05id = "Alar Knight of Splintered Skies" --Do NOT Mess with it!!! Leave the next 14 lines alone.
06parts = {"Right Arm", "Left Arm", "Right Leg","Left Leg","Torso","hats"}
07names = {"ra","la","rl","ll","ts","ht"}
08 
09wait()
10 
11function CloneMesh(name)
12    local child = set:FindFirstChild(id .. " " .. name)
13    local result = nil
14    if child ~= nil and child.className == "CharacterMesh" then --Leave alone. Must be "CharacterMesh"
15        result = child:Clone()
16        result.Parent = ch
17        result = {target = result, clone = result:Clone()}
18    end
19    return result
20end
21 
22for i=1, 5, 1 do
23    if parts[i] ~= nil and names[i] ~= nil then
24        do
25            local name1 = parts[i]
26            local name2 = names[i]
27            local mesh = CloneMesh(name1)
28            local part = ch:FindFirstChild(name1)
29            if mesh ~= nil and part == nil then
30                mesh.target:Remove()
31                mesh = nil
32            end
33        end
34    end
35end
36 
37function CharacterRefresh()
38    local names = {""}
39    for id, name in pairs(names) do
40        for index, child in pairs(ch:GetChildren()) do
41            if child.className == name then
42                child.Parent = nil
43            end
44        end
45    end

Any output? Also I'm not sure but when a Player respawns in a game, their character model never disappears so. If I were you I would try something like.

01function Respawn(prop,player)
02    if prop == "Character" then
03        initialize(player)
04    end
05end
06 
07game.Players.PlayerAdded:(function(player)
08    initialize(player)
09    player.Changed:connect(function(prop) Respawn(prop,player))
10end)

It's always easier working from the player than the character because the character is removed and beaten up all the time. The player is a constant object.

But what's wrong with mines? I want to be able to change the package. therovic1 5 — 11y

I can't tell just looking at it but here is what I do to find an error. Start using pring("something") happened. Then look in the output to see what went wrong "Where it didn't print". Tell me where and I'll look at what part of your script didn't function. soaprocks2 75 — 11y
