LocalTransparencyModifier not working as expected?
Hello, in my game, I have the character's arms visible in first person, but I find it that when scoped in with a sniper rifle, the arms remain in the way, obstructing view. Here's my code for it;
local player = game.Players.LocalPlayer;
local rs = game:GetService("RunService");
local character = player.Character
local camera = game.Workspace.CurrentCamera
rs.RenderStepped:Connect(function()
if not player.Character:FindFirstChild("Sniper Rifle") then --if they have any other weapon out...
character["Right Arm"].LocalTransparencyModifier = 0
character["Left Arm"].LocalTransparencyModifier = 0
else --If they do have a sniper equipped...
character["Right Arm"].LocalTransparencyModifier = 1
character["Left Arm"].LocalTransparencyModifier = 1
end
end)
I don't fully understand LocalTransparencyModifier, so any and all help on it would be greatly appreciated!

Ok, so you said you want a walkthrough. According to this developer.roblox.com post,
The LocalTransparencyModifier property is a multiplier to BasePart.Transparency that is only visible to the local client. It does not replicate from client to server. It is useful for when a part should not render for a specific client, such as how the player does not see their character’s body parts when they zoom into first person mode.
This is similar to your problem, here is a code sample that I have added notes to, to better help you understand:
local player = game.Players.LocalPlayer; --make sure you run game.Players.LocalPlayer in a LocalScript, otherwise it won't work.
local rs = game:GetService("RunService");
local character = player.Character
local camera = workspace.CurrentCamera --changed from game.Workspace to workspace
local leftArm, rightArm; -- define these ahead of time
rs.RenderStepped:Connect(function()
if not character:FindFirstChild("Sniper Rifle") then --if sniper isn't equipped
leftArm.LocalTransparencyModifier = 0; --sets the left arm to 0 transparency
rightArm.LocalTransparencyModifier = 0; --sets the right arm to 0 transparency
elseif character:FindFirstChild("Sniper Rifle") then --if sniper is equipped
leftArm.LocalTransparencyModifier = 1; --sets the left arm to 1 transparency
rightArm.LocalTransparencyModifier = 1; --sets the right arm to 1 transparency
end;
end);
Not sure if this works, made it up in my head.
