Locally making people invisible then making visible again?

Asked 346 views1 answers

Ok so I am using a script I found local hide = true --Whether to hide, can be manipulated local True = true

local orignalTransparency = {}--Store original transparency

local function checkPart(part) --This will set the transparency of every part
	for a,b in pairs(part:GetChildren()) do 
		checkPart(b) --If there are more parts, also set the transparency for them too
	end
	if part:IsA("BasePart") or part:IsA("Decal") then--If the object is a part or decal, set it's transparency. (Face is a decal)
		if hide then --If we want to hide players, make their parts invisible
			if not orignalTransparency[part] then--Store data for later if we want to undo the effect
				orignalTransparency[part] = part.Transparency
			end
			part.Transparency = 1
		else --If we don't want to hide, set the transparency back to normal
			if orignalTransparency[part] then --If we stored it
				part.Transparency = orignalTransparency[part] --Set it
				orignalTransparency[part] = nil --Remove reference because we do not need it anymore, prevents memory leaks
			end
		end
	end
end

local players = game:GetService("Players")
local localPlayer = players.LocalPlayer

game:GetService("RunService").RenderStepped:Connect(function() --Every frame, set transparency
	--Iterate through players to make them invisible
	for i,v in pairs(players:GetPlayers()) do --Go through every player
		if v ~= localPlayer then --This makes sure we don't make ourself invisble. Remove this for everyone.
			local char = v.Character
			if char then--If the character exists
				checkPart(char)
			end
		end
	end
	--Prevent memory leaks, if a part does not exist anymore we do not need to reference it
	for part,trans in pairs(orignalTransparency) do
		if not part then
			orignalTransparency[part] = nil
		elseif not part.Parent then
			orignalTransparency[part] = nil
		end
	end
end)

hide = true

It works perfectly fine just, I want to make it so when I press a gui button is makes it back to normal were everyone is back to being visible locally. Plz help

we talked about this over discord and came up with this solution.

--shows/hides the player depending on what command variable is
--if command is 'hide' then we hide the player, if it is 'show' then we show the player
function hideShowPlayer(player, command)
	--checks to see if the player's character exists and the player we're trying to hide isnt the local player
	if(player.Character and player ~=  game.Players.LocalPlayer)then
		
		--loop through all the items inside the player
		for _, desc in pairs(player.Character:GetDescendants())do
			--check if the item we're currently looking at is a decal/brick
			if desc:IsA("BasePart") or desc:IsA("Decal") then
				--if it is a decal/brick set it's transparency to show/hide depending on what the command variable is
				if(command == "hide")then
					desc.Transparency = 1
				else
					desc.Transparency = 0
				end
			end
		end
	end
end

for _, player in pairs(game.Players:GetPlayers())do
	hideShowPlayer(player, "hide")
end
