Hiding a list of part in a model ?

Hello i made a script that should hide the part when a value is enabled

Script :

local V = script.Parent.Value
local Model = script.Parent.Parent.Parent

local Object = {
	Model["Head"],
	Model["Torso"],
	Model["Left Arm"],
	Model["Left Leg"],
	Model["Right Arm"],
	Model["Right Leg"]
}

if V == true then
	Object.Locked = true
	Object.Transpency = 1
	Object.Anchored = true
end

I think there is a problem with the "Object" value.

I hope you understand.

Thanks.

One reason your didn't work was becasuse your Object table was called, but you didn't say list any index that that you wanted. Another way to do your script, if you really wanted it to be a table is like this:

local V = script.Parent.Value
local Model = script.Parent.Parent.Parent
local Object = {
	    Model["Head"],
	    Model["Torso"],
	    Model["Left Arm"],
	    Model["Left Leg"],
	    Model["Right Arm"],
	    Model["Right Leg"]
}

V.Changed:Connect(function(prop) -- Every time the value changes, this will check if it is true
	if V == true then
		for i = 1, #Object, 1 do 
			Object[i].Locked = true
			Object[i].Anchored = true
			Object[i].Transparency = 1
		end
	end
end)

If it were me, I would do a much simpler version of what you're doing. It would look like this:

local V = script.Parent.Value
local Model = script.Parent.Parent.Parent

V.Changed:Connect(function(prop) -- Every time the value changes, this will check if it is true
	if V.Value == true then
		for Index, Descendant in pairs(Model:GetChildren()) do -- Gets all children of model
			-- Line below this one checks if the Descendants should be "hidden"
			if Descendant.Name == "Head" or Descendant.Name == "Torso" or Descendant.Name == "Left Arm" or Descendant.Name == "Left Leg" or Descendant.Name == "Right Arm" or Descendant.Name == "Right Leg" then
				Descendant.Locked = true
				Descendant.Transparency = 1
				Descendant.Anchored = true
			end
		end 
	end
end)
