How to make character transparent when they spawn?

Asked Sep 26, 2020295 views2 answers

The goal of this script is to make it so the player is transparent when they spawn but I am not sure where I went wrong. Any help?

local folder = script.Parent
local player = folder.Parent

for index, lookchar in pairs(folder:GetChildren()) do
	if lookchar ~= script then 
		lookchar.Parent = player
		
		player.Character.Torso.Transparency = 1
		player.Character:FindFirstChild("Left Arm").Transparency = 1
		player.Character:FindFirstChild("Left Leg").Transparency = 1
		player.Character:FindFirstChild("Right Arm").Transparency = 1
		player.Character:FindFirstChild("Right Leg").Transparency = 1
	end
end

Here, you are just making the parts of the character invisible and not the whole player. I just made a simple script as an example :

game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(player) -- Calls when the player joins
	
	local ServerStorage = game:GetService("ServerStorage") 
	local UserId = tostring(player.UserId)
	
	local FolderExisted = ServerStorage:FindFirstChild(UserId) 
	
	if not FolderExisted then -- Checks if there is no such folder as the condition
		local Folder = Instance.new("Folder") -- Creates the folder
		Folder.Parent = ServerStorage -- Parents it to ServerStorage
		Folder.Name = UserId -- Name it to the player's UserId
	end	

	-- The next steps will explain why we created this folder
	
	player.CharacterAdded:Connect(function() -- Calls when the character is added
		repeat wait() until player.Character -- THIS IS VERY IMPORTANT, it would not execute the further code until the whole character is added
		local char = player.Character -- Gets the character
		local charContents = char:GetChildren() -- Creates the table of all contents in the character
		local HeadContents = char:WaitForChild("Head"):GetChildren() -- Creates a table for all contents in the Head of the player
		
		for i, Mesh in ipairs(charContents) do -- Runs a loop
			if Mesh:IsA("MeshPart") or Mesh:IsA("Part") then -- Checks whether the thing is a MeshPart or a Part
				Mesh.Transparency = 1 -- Sets its Transparency to 1
			end
			
			if Mesh:IsA("Accessory") then -- Checks whether it is an accessory
				Mesh.Parent = ServerStorage:FindFirstChild(UserId) -- Puts it to the Folder that we created above
			end
		end	
		
		for i, Decal in ipairs(HeadContents) do 
			if Decal:IsA("Decal") then -- Checks if the content found inside the head is a Decal, here the Decal would be only the Face of the player
				Decal.Transparency = 1 -- Sets its transparency to 1
			end
		end
		
	end)
end)

Lemme know if it helps!

It's a ServerScript in ServerScriptService. If you want to make them visible, just revert the steps

So, first, you want to find out if the player is R6 or R15. Then make all body parts Transparent. Place a Script in Workspace and follow my code:

local DefaultTransparency = 1 --Modify if needed
workspace.ChildAdded:Connect(function(Child)
    local h = Child:FindFirstChild("Humanoid")
    if h ~= nil then
        if h.RigType == Enum.RigType.R6 then
            Child.Head.Transparency = DefaultTransparency
            Child.Torso.Transparency = DefaultTransparency
            Child.HumanoidRootPart.Transparency = DefaultTransparency
            Child["Left Arm"].Transparency = DefaultTransparency
            Child["Left Foot"].Transparency = DefaultTransparency
            Child["Right Arm"].Transparency = DefaultTransparency
            Child["Right Foot"].Transparency = DefaultTransparency
        else
            Child.Head.Transparency = DefaultTransparency
            Child.UpperTorso.Transparency = DefaultTransparency
            Child.LowerTorso.Transparency = DefaultTransparency
            Child.LeftFoot.Transparency = DefaultTransparency
            Child.LeftHand.Transparency = DefaultTransparency
            Child.LeftUpperLeg.Transparency = DefaultTransparency
            Child.LeftLowerLeg.Transparency = DefaultTransparency
            Child.LeftUpperArm.Transparency = DefaultTransparency
            Child.LeftLowerArm.Transparency = DefaultTransparency
            Child.RightFoot.Transparency = DefaultTransparency
            Child.RightHand.Transparency = DefaultTransparency
            Child.RightUpperLeg.Transparency = DefaultTransparency
            Child.RightLowerLeg.Transparency = DefaultTransparency
            Child.RightUpperArm.Transparency = DefaultTransparency
            Child.RightLowerArm.Transparency = DefaultTransparency
        end
    end
end)

Hoped this helped!
