Animation plays for me, BUT not for other players...

Good day to all who see this, I'm trying to make a fun private server where I can morph into characters to have fun with friends, so I'm not exactly very into lua yet.

I've been trying to make a morph thing where you click on a model and morph into it, so far it has worked on almost everything except for the animations. The script is the following

local clickdetector = model.ClickDetector

function onClick(player)
    local char = player.Character
    local morph = model:Clone()

    morph.HumanoidRootPart.Anchored = false
    morph:SetPrimaryPartCFrame(char.PrimaryPart.CFrame)

    player.Character = morph
    morph.Parent = workspace
end

clickdetector.MouseClick:Connect(onClick)print("Hello world!")```

After this script, I would click on the character and morph into it, but I would not have the original r15 animations. I found out that to solve this I could copy and paste the "Animate" script that spawns with the player and put it on my model, and it worked for the client side, but not for the server / when other people are looking at me. How can I then put the default animate script to the server so other people can see it?

Here in the script you can see me doing a /e dance emote on one client and on the other you can see the other player would just see a t pose.

test it in a real server

The problem actually happened once I was running it on actual Roblox, so I went over to check in Roblox studio if the problem was replicated there and there it was as well

do you own the animation

It's the default Animate script from Roblox for basic things like walking, jumping etc, I evidently have the animations in my game and can see them so I'm guessing I do?

moment

you shouldnt even need to put Animate into the model because roblox automatically does it

[rugged wave]

is the script you use to play animation is in a localscript?

[maiden hinge]

Mm nope

I saw that as one of the solutions, to turn it into a localscript or something but idk how u do that

After setting player.Character = morph, also clone the player's original Animate script from their old character into the new morph, and parent it under the new morph

How can u do such a thing? I tried doing it w/ assistant (lol) and here´s what we cooked up but it ended up breaking the morph script

local clickdetector = model.ClickDetector

function onClick(player)
    local char = player.Character
    local morph = model:Clone()

    morph.HumanoidRootPart.Anchored = false
    morph:SetPrimaryPartCFrame(char.PrimaryPart.CFrame)

    player.Character = morph
    morph.Parent = workspace
    
    local function morphCharacter(newCharacterModel)
        local oldAnimateScript = character:FindFirstChild("Animate")
        if oldAnimateScript then
            local newAniamteScript = oldAnimateScript:Clone()
            
            player.Character = newCharacterModel
            
            newAniamteScript.Parent = newCharacterModel
        end
    
end

clickdetector.MouseClick:Connect(onClick)print("Hello world!")

[copper sorrel]

local model = script.Parent
local clickdetector = model.ClickDetector

function onClick(player)
    local char = player.Character
    local morph = model:Clone()

    morph.HumanoidRootPart.Anchored = false
    morph:SetPrimaryPartCFrame(char.PrimaryPart.CFrame)
    morph.Parent = workspace

    local oldAnimate = char:FindFirstChild("Animate")
    if oldAnimate then
        local newAnimate = oldAnimate:Clone()
        newAnimate.Parent = morph
    end

    player.Character = morph
end

clickdetector.MouseClick:Connect(onClick)

the morphCharacter function is never called in your script that one should work
