Having issues with a settings gui's function

Trying to achieve a settings gui that turns parts in a folder in ReplicatedFirst invisible or visible (for the client only) depending on what you set.

However, pressing the gui button i have set up works perfectly fine for gui elements, but does absolutely nothing for the parts in a folder.

the Script is a localscript inside of a screengui , and the button’s function goes like this:

function updatesettings(thing,trufal)

	if thing == "example1" and trufal == false then
		page1.func_toggle_example1.actived.Value = false
	game.ReplicatedFirst.Folder.Example1.Transparency = 1
	end

		if thing == "example1" and trufal == true then
		page1.func_toggle_example1.actived.Value = true
	game.ReplicatedFirst.Folder.Example1.Transparency = 0
	end

	end

------------------------------------------
page1.func_toggle_blood.Activated:Connect(function()
ndow.setting_click:Play()
	if page1.func_toggle_example1.actived.Value == false then
		page1.func_toggle_example1.actived.Value = true
	updatesettings("example1",true )
	
	else
		page1.func_toggle_example1.actived.Value = false
		updatesettings("example1",false )
	end
end)

the part “Example1” is then spawned in from replicatedfirst into workspace, and doesn’t keep the transparency that is set to it in replicatedfirst. localtransparencymodifier does the same. Nothing in the place file edits the part’s transparency apart from that script.

I don’t really get what you want to achieve,

If you are changing the Transparency over client, and cloning the thing over Server ,it will stay at Transparency that was before the client updated it,
Since client can’t just update the Part, if your cloning the Part over the Client and sending it to workspace it should be fine,
not sure what exactly your doing,
To me the whole thing is working, whilst I tried replicating it.

local trufal = false
function updatesettings(thing,trufal)
	game.ReplicatedFirst.Folder[thing].Transparency = not trufal and 1 or 0
end

------------------------------------------
script.Parent.ImageButton.MouseButton1Down:Connect(function()
	trufal = not trufal
	updatesettings('Example1',trufal)
end)

would i have to set the client transparency after it’s in workspace?

#4

When the Part is being cloned by the Server, you would have to update it inside workspace.

if it’s cloned by the client it shouldn’t matter.

#5

the part is being cloned by the server, how would i update the part from the gui when it’s in workspace?

#6

workspace.ChildAdded:Connect() if part.Name then. add to table,
boom
for _,v in pairs(table) do updatePart boom.

maybe look into

the parts are now placed into the character’s limbs, and there is a numbervalue for the localtransparencymodifier (part.localtransparencymodifier = script.parent.numbervalue.value) but i don’t know how to set that numbervalue from the localscript in the gui.
