Thanks very much for the suggestion. That seems to work really well for adding parts and creating the players how I like it.

EndFunction
However I have one question using this:
When outside of the function createPlayer() , what is the correct way to reference the meshes (or bodyparts )of the individual players in commands such as:
SetObjectPosition(ObjID, x, y, z)
or
SetObjectColor(ObjID, 200,50,50,255) ?
