end)

1. put them in ReplicatedStorage not ServerStorage DeceptiveCaster 3761 — 5y

In fact, if this script is local, then that is exactly what your problem is. DeceptiveCaster 3761 — 5y

The only problem is that, if this is a local script, you're attempting to access ServerStorage from the client, which isn't possible. ServerStorage can only be accessed by regular scripts. Move the StarterCharacters into ReplicatedStorage and then follow this fix:

script.Parent.MouseButton1Click:Connect(function()
    local char = game.ReplicatedStorage.StarterCharacter:Clone() -- This creates an actual clone
    char.Parent = game.StarterPlayer
    script.Parent.Parent.FrameSuccess.Visible = true
end)

(Can't believe I forgot that you have to set a clone to a variable, otherwise you're parenting the original StarterCharacter. I put that in there.)

ServerStorage is definitely accessible to clients. They just can't see the contents. User#24403 69 — 5y

still, that's why his script doesn't work DeceptiveCaster 3761 — 5y
