Help with scripting Visibility? Solved!

Help and Feedback Scripting Support
#1

Hi, it’s potato. So I’m trying to make a script that makes it so that if you touch an object, your head becomes visible again. (It had been lost, so now your trying to find it, for a little bit of backround.) I’m not sure what I’m doing wrong there are no errors popping up or anything. (At least not that I can see.) I’m pretty new to scripting, and I was hoping it would be as simple as changing a few things in another script I did, but I guess not.
Here is the script so far.

local trap = script.Parent

local function onTouch(LostHead)

local character = LostHead.Parent


local humanoid = character:FindFirstChildWhichIsA("Humanoid")

if humanoid then

    humanoid.head.transparency = 0
end

end

trap.Touched:Connect(onTouch)

Please help if anyone knows what I did wrong, it’s probably something really simple but like I said I’m not very good at scripting.

Head is a child Character

local character = LostHead.Parent

local head = character:FindFirstChild("Head")

if head then
    head.Transparency = 0
end
#3

So I replaced it with what you said, but I’m still running into errors with the script. The second end is underlined in red, and if I delete it it just makes more problems appear, any ideas?

#4 
script.Parent.Touched:Connect(function(hit)
    local Head = hit.Parent:FindFirstChild("Head") 
    if Head then
        Head.Transparency = 0
    end
end)

this should work

#5

Ok so that seems to work better, but the head has no texture or anything.

Do you know how I could fix this?

Oh yeah, you’ll have to set the transparency for the face texture also.

script.Parent.Touched:Connect(function(hit)
    local Head = hit.Parent:FindFirstChild("Head") 
    if Head then
        Head.Transparency = 0
        local Face = Head:FindFirstChild("face")
        if Face then
            Face.Transparency = 0
        end
    end
end)
#7

Oh ok thanks, you’ve been really helpful.
EDIT: Ok one last thing it’s still making it nvisible and blocky, I assume I have to set the face texture to a transparency or something but I’m not entirely sure how to do that.

It looks like the material is set to glass. You would have to make it like this:

script.Parent.Touched:Connect(function(hit)
    local Head = hit.Parent:FindFirstChild("Head") 
    if Head then
        Head.Transparency = 0
        local Face = Head:FindFirstChild("face")
        if Face then
            Face.Transparency = 0
        end
        Head.Material = Enum.Material.SmoothPlastic
    end
end)

I don’t know about the blocky part. Mabey the mesh inside the head got deleted. Something has to be changing that.

Something’s obviously going on with the material, however I don’t think it’s glass. Parts with glass material when set to 100% transparency will not be visible, this looks more like forcefield.

Ok thanks, that made it a little better, altho the mesh is still gone. I don’t know how it would have gotten deleted, all I did was set it’s transparency to 1.

Also here it say the mesh is still there.

Make sure the special mesh is set to Head

#12

Ok wait I think I’ve figured it out.

#13

One thing to note about the SpecialMesh Head MeshType is that it does not support Materials, so you may have to find an alternative.
