What is wrong with this function?
Hi. New to tables, this is one of my first attempts.
As far as I know, there aren't any problems in syntax, so I'm not sure why this script does not work.
If anyone can point me in the right direction, I'd be very grateful :)
function ghost()
local parts = game.Workspace:FindFirstChild("Player1")
for i,v in pairs (parts:GetChildren()) do
v.Transparency = 0.5
end
end
if game.Workspace:FindFirstChild("Player1").Humanoid.Health == 0 then
ghost()
end
Note: This is just a test on the ROBLOX Studio character. I don't expect this to work in-game.

function ghost()
local parts = game.Workspace:FindFirstChild("Player1")
for i,v in pairs (parts:GetChildren()) do
if v:IsA("Part") then --If the child is a classname Part, then it makes it transparent, because you have other things like the Humanoid, which you can't make transparent, so it will error.
v.Transparency = 0.5
end
end
end
if game.Workspace:WaitForChild("Player1").Humanoid.Health == 0 then --It has to be WaitForChild because the player is not in the game yet, so it is waiting until he is
ghost()
end
Also, the player will die, turn ghost, then respawn in this script, just fyi.

The issue here is that your script will only check if the player is dead once, instantly when it is executed.
function ghost()
local parts = game.Workspace:FindFirstChild("Player1")
for i,v in pairs (parts:GetChildren()) do
v.Transparency = 0.5
end
end
game.Workspace:FindFirstChild("Player1").Died:connect(ghost)
