While working on a script to clone the player's character I've come across the problem that its not cloning. What am I doing wrong here?

01script.Parent.Touched:Connect(function(part)
02    local Players = game:GetService("Players")
03    local player = Players:GetPlayerFromCharacter(part.Parent)
04    wait(1)
05    part.Reflectance = 0.2
06    wait(3)
07    part.Reflectance = 0.4
08    wait(3)
09    part.Reflectance = 0.6
10    wait(3)
11    part.Reflectance = 0.8
12    wait(5)
13    part.Reflectance = 1
14 
15    local function crystalize()
16        if player.Character then
17            local c = player.Character:Clone()
18            c.Parent = workspace
19            c.Name = "SCP-409-1("..player.Name..")"
20 
21            local d = c:GetChildren()
22            for i = 1, #d do
23                if d[i].className == "Accessory" then
24                    d[i].Mesh.TextureId = "http://www.roblox.com/asset/?id=686337933"
25                    d[i].Handle.Transparency = 0
26                    d[i].Anchored = true
27                end
28                if d[i].className == "Part" then
29                    if d[i].Name ~= "HumanoidRootPart" then
30                        d[i].Anchored = true
31                        d[i].Transparency = 0
32                        if d[i].Name == "Head" then
33                            if d[i]:FindFirstChild("face") then
34                                d[i].face:Destroy()
35                            end
36                        end
37                    end
38                end
39            end
40        end
41        player.Torso:Destroy()
42    end
43    crystalize(part)
44end)

EDIT: Put the full script opposed to the cut out.

Output: Workspace.SCPs.SCP-409.Freeze:19: attempt to index local 'c' (a nil value)

With the players model you need to set Archivable to true before cloning the player. User#5423 17 — 6y

It is set true but still nothing. If I need to post the whole script I can. BlauKitten 88 — 6y

You probably also need to set the position of the model or it may just be falling off the map User#5423 17 — 6y

All the original parts from the player are anchored before the clone is made. BlauKitten 88 — 6y

What is "part"? Is this is a global? If it's from a touched event, it isn't being passed to your function "crystalize()". Include it by doing "crystalize(part)". Cousin_Potato 129 — 6y

crystalize is in the function where local part is defined. Also tried crystal(part) and still getting the same thing. BlauKitten 88 — 6y

Because, you really never got the character... greatneil80 2647 — 6y

Can you that code as well? (The part where part is defined and function is called.) Cousin_Potato 129 — 6y

If I need to I can post the full code if it makes things any easier. BlauKitten 88 — 6y

Yes please Cousin_Potato 129 — 6y

I edited the question desc and put the full script there. BlauKitten 88 — 6y

Try making sure that it's a humanoid touching the part? B_rnz 171 — 6y
