Cloned model keeps disappearing?

I'm relatively new to scripting and I tried making a script where a model from Lighting (specifically an NPC) would be cloned and placed into Workspace. I don't know if the model being an NPC has something to do with it disappearing after a second or because it has multiple parts.

wait(1)

game.Lighting.NPC:Clone().Parent = game.Workspace

Why did you put it in Lighting? User#19524 175 — 5y

I tried moving it to different places and changing the script according to where it is but it makes no difference. oranqebIiss 1 — 5y

Move it to SeverStorage or ReplicatedStorage. User#19524 175 — 5y

I tried doing that but the same thing still happens and its frustrating... oranqebIiss 1 — 5y

When you clone a model into Workspace, you’ll never know where it spawns. Another error is you used Lighting as storage but that method is deprecated.

local npcClone = game:GetService("ServerStorage").NPC:Clone()

clone.Parent = game.Workspace

if clone:FindFirstChild"HumanoidRootPart" then
    clone.PrimaryPart = clone.HumanoidRootPart
    clone:SetPrimaryPartCFrame(CFrame.new(0, 1, 0))
end

I tried using this script and the NPC spawns the same way it would as in the other script but it still keeps disappearing.Perhaps the error keeps occurring because I used a Part (named "NPC")as a parent for the actual NPC model? I'm not really sure if that affects anything. oranqebIiss 1 — 5y

Have the NPC model not parented to anything else but one of the storage services and Workspace. Don’t parent it to any part. User#19524 175 — 5y

The NPC model is parented to SeverStorage but is says "NPC is not a valid member of ServerStorage." oranqebIiss 1 — 5y

But you have to set the cloned part as a variable. Parent itt to Workspace. User#19524 175 — 5y

Er I don't really know how to do that. All I have right now is the NPC in ServerStorage and the script in Workspace. oranqebIiss 1 — 5y
