How can I have a skin system in my game?
To elaborate on the question, what I want to happen is allow players to equip different player models that I made. To do this I thought that I would just put a model named "StarterCharacter" into StarterPlayer like usual. Then I realized that would mean every single person gets the skin. Is there any way that I can change the character model for individual people instead of everyone? Thanks in advance.

I'm not sure if im understanding the question correctly?
but why not just make a script that changes the character's skin after the 'StarterCharacter' loaded from 'StarterPlayer' for each individual players??
Edit : I have assumed that skin just meant texture and colors, but if you want each player to load in as a completely different model
Then first you can disable character auto load via the server
1 | game.Players.CharacterAutoLoads = false |
And then you can make a gui that selects which model you want locally
After the player have chosen a model, you make a script on the server side that sets the character model manually when fired by a client
Example :
1 | local TheChar = thePickedCharacter:Clone() |
2 | TheChar.Name = player.Name |
3 | player.Character = theChar |
Now put the character in workspace, note : IT IS IMPORTANT that you set the character to the player before parenting the character to workspace, so you dont have to manually set the camera
1 | TheChar.Parent = workspace |
