game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(plr)
plr.Character = game.Workspace.Dummy
end)
Im trying to set a players character to a character in the workspace, but when I run the game the custom character disappears and the players character remains unchanged.
In order to load a custom static character instead of each player's personal one, Take the character model that you'd like to use, in this case, "Dummy", rename it to "StarterCharacter", and then drop it into the folder known as StarterPlayer.
EDIT: If you want to load different characters, your best bet is to turn off CharacterAutoLoads of Players, and handle the loading yourself. So simply decide which model you'd like to use for the character (make sure it's named "StarterCharacter"), place the model in StarterPlayer, call :LoadCharacter on the player, and then take the StarterCharacter model back out. Repeat the process for whenever you load someone's character. (most often when they join or respawn)
that only works for one single "StarterCharacter", I want to change the players character to different characters.
So I made a compact old fashioned character morpher, fully commented for its easy understanding. Just add in 'playersToModifyIds' the userId of the users who will have their character changed and change the directory of 'characterModel' to the model of your custom character.
local playersToModifyIds = {3807724, 255752} -- UserId's of players to have their character appearance overwritten
local characterModel = game.Workspace.StarterCharacter -- Desired character model to change the player's into
game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(player)
-- Check if player is to have its character changed
for i, playerId in pairs(playersToModifyIds) do
if playerId == player.UserId then
-- Disable their default character appearance
player.CanLoadCharacterAppearance = false
-- On player spawn, change their character to that of characterModel
player.CharacterAdded:Connect(function(character)
-- Copy characterModel's accesories to player's character
for i, part in pairs(characterModel:GetChildren()) do
if part:IsA("Accessory") or part:IsA("CharacterAppearance") then
local clone = part:Clone()
clone.Parent = character
end
end
-- Remove the player character's head shape and face
for i, part in pairs(character.Head:GetChildren()) do
if part:IsA("DataModelMesh") or part:IsA("FaceInstance") then
part:Destroy()
end
end
-- Copy characterModel's head shape and face to player's character
for i, part in pairs(characterModel.Head:GetChildren()) do
if part:IsA("DataModelMesh") or part:IsA("FaceInstance") then
local clone = part:Clone()
clone.Parent = character.Head
end
end
end)
break
end
end
end)

you can modify the player's CharacterAppearanceID then run Player:LoadCharacter()
