How to change properties of all the parts inside a model?
I'm trying to make it so when I click a part, all of the parts inside a model change Transparency from 1 to 0, and also change CanCollide from false to true. Please help.
I tried this, but it didn't work:
local children = game.Workspace.island1:GetChildren()
local button = script.Parent
function solid()
children.Transparency = 0
children.CanCollide = true
end
button.ClickDetector.MouseClick:connect(solid)

The result of GetChildren is a table; A list containing Roblox objects, such as parts.
You cannot directly change a property from the table.
Instead, you must iterate -- or "browse" -- through the table using a "generic for" loop, like so:
--[[
Tables contain key-value pairs.
Each step of the loop, 'pairs' returns two values:
A table key and the value associated with it.
'_' and 'object' are variables.
The former is assigned the key, a "position" in the table,
and the latter is assigned the value associated to that key;
In our case, a child of "Island1".
]]
for _, object in pairs(game.Workspace.Island1:GetChildren()) do
object.Transparency = 0
object.CanCollide = true
end
-- As a convention, we generally name the key '_' if we do not use its value.
I hope that answers your question; If it did, please make sure to mark my answer as accepted and optionally upvote. It helps both of us. If you still need anything, let me know.

for i,v in pairs(game:GetService("Workspace"):FindFirstChild("Island1"):GetChildren()) do
v.Transparency = 0;
v.CanCollide = true;
end
just use a generic for loop to iterate through each element in the model at a a time. The i and v are variables which bind to each object's index, and each objects value.
