How do I auto-update a Humanoid to the Player?

What i'm basically asking is how do I make a Humanoid to transform into the player who is playing the game. You can only see it, other players see their own characters but not anybody elses'. Here is the script I used for a free model:

 local noob = game.Players.LocalPlayer.Name
workspace.TEST.Configuration.Username.Value = noob

Note:

Sorry if this sounded stupid, just wanted to test something out.

Relatively recently, Roblox has released an API that fits your use case perfectly: Players:GetCharacterApperanceAsync(userId: int64). The YieldFunction returns a Model containing all the necessary assets to make a Humanoid look like a player. This won't build the character rig, however; it will only give you the worn assets such as accessories and packages. Hence you should take an existing R6/R15 character model and use it as a base for your script.

TheGamer101 has created a free model which also does exactly what you want.
