I am pretty proud of this non-working script... At 3:21 in the morning, even when rushed, I did good.

The script is suppose to:

• make a TextValue in Storage
  
• make an NPC when someone says "clone;"
  
• changes the NPC's name to a random number up to 10,000 (and not have that same number chosen again by any person in the game, not implemented)
  
• change the NPC's regular body to the speaker's body
  
• create a label saying the speaker's name, then "'s Clone"
  
• copy the NPC into a TextValue in Storage
  
• print "You have successfully created a clone."
  

[lua]t = create("TextValue")
n = create("NPC")
l = create("Label")

if msg == "clone;" then
n.Parent = game.Workspace
t.Parent = game.Storage
t.Name = speaker.Name
l.Parent = n
l.Text = speaker.Name .. "'s Clone"
n.Name = math.Random(1,10000) -- I don't know if this line is correct.
n.Body:remove()
speaker.Body:clone().Parent = n
n:clone().Parent = t
print("You have successfully cloned yourself.")
end[/lua]

Yes, I do know that this script could have been made easier, however, I chose not to show my newbie side in scripting.

EDIT: I retried the script; the TextValue ended up spawning, however, in the World. The script stopped after it was generated. It also ONLY generated the TextValue, even if the NPC was first.

Instead of

[lua]
n.Name = math.Random(1,10000)
n.Body:remove()
speaker.Body:clone().Parent = n
[/lua]

Try

[lua]
n.Name = tostring(math.random(1,10000))
n.Skin = speaker.Character.Skin
[/lua]

if speaker is a Player.

Instead of

[lua]
n.Name = math.Random(1,10000)
n.Body:remove()
speaker.Body:clone().Parent = n
[/lua]

Try

[lua]
n.Name = tostring(math.random(1,10000))
n.Skin = speaker.Character.Skin
[/lua]
if speaker is a Player.

Thanks, but the sixth line in was incorrect. I put .Workspace, not .World. Still fails to work, and I have done tweaks here and there:

[lua]t = create("TextValue")
n = create("NPC")
l = create("Label")

if msg == "clone;" then
n.Parent = game.World
t.Parent = game.Storage
t.Name = speaker.Name
l.Parent = n
l.Text = speaker.Name .. "'s Clone"
n.Name = tostring(math.random(1,10000))
n.Skin = speaker.Character.Skin
n:clone().Parent = t
print("You have successfully cloned yourself.")
end
[/lua]

lol I do that a lot also.

I'll use wait() instead of sleep()

I rewrote the script.

[lua]--[[
I have no idea this one script is causing me so much grief...
]]

if msg == "/clone" then
clone = create("NPC")
clone.Parent = game.World
clone.Skin = speaker.Character.Skin
clone.Name = tostring(math.random(1,10000))
label = create("Label")
label.Parent = clone
label.Text = speaker.Name
model = create("Model")
model2 = create("Model")
model.Parent = game.World
model2.Parent = game.Storage
model.Name = speaker.Name
model2.Name = speaker.Name
clone:clone().Parent = model2
print("You have created " .. clone.Name .. ", remember this name to restore and delete.")
end[/lua]

I am going to re-write it a third time to be even more advanced then this; e.g. someone can actually make their label name for the NPC, ect

I'll also add a "/follow" and "/stop" command after I implement the "/remove" commands.
