How can I make the Players avatar go slightly transparent when their camera is close to the body?

#2

Check if camera is close to humanoid root part then set local transparency modifier

#3

I’m pretty sure the camera by default already but if you really needed to, you can use the heartbeat event to constantly check how close the camera is to the head and modify the character’s transparency.

Example (A localscript in StarterPlayerScripts)

local Threshold = --how close the camera needs to be in order for the character to be slightly transparent (in studs)
local ThresholdTransparency = --How transparent the character should be
local DefaultTransparency = 0--Change to what the default transparency should be when the distance between the camera and the character's head is not within the threshold


local player = game:GetService("Players").LocalPlayer
local RS = game:GetService("RunService")

local Camera = workspace.CurrentCamera

local IsWithin --This is to make sure the script doesn't have to loop through the character each loop when unnecessary 
RS.Heartbeat:Connect(function()
   local character = player.Character
   local Head = character and character:FindFirstChild("Head")
   if not Head then return end --returns if the player doesn't have a character or a head at that moment
   
   local Distance = (Camera.CFrame.Position-Head.Position).Magnitude --Calculates the distance between the camera and the characters head
   
    if Distance == 0 then return end -- returns if the distance is 0
   
   if Distance <= Threshold and IsWithin ~= true then --The camera is within the threshold distance
      IsWithin = true
      for _,v in pairs(character) do --
         if v:IsA("BasePart") then --Check if the instance is a basepart
            v.Transparency = ThresholdTransparency
         end
      end
      
   elseif IsWithin ~= false then
      IsWithin = false
      for _,v in pairs(character) do
         if v:IsA("BasePart") then --Check if the instance is a basepart
            v.Transparency = DefaultTransparency
         end
      end
   end

end)

Tell me if you experience any issues with the code

I put it in a local script in StarterPlayer but i get this error:
Players.MasonX890.PlayerScripts.ANI_Transparency:23: invalid argument #1 to ‘pairs’ (table expected, got Instance) - Client

#5

do character:GetChildren() in the pairs brackets (or :GetDescendants())

#6 
Camera:GetPropertyChangedSignal("CFrame"):Connect(function()
    if (Camera.Position - HumanoidRootPart.Position).Magnitude < 1 then
        for _, i in pairs(Character:GetChildren()) do
            if i:IsA("MeshPart") then
                i.Transparency = 0.5
            end
        end
    end
end)

1 is a placeholder

#7 
local Game = game
local Workspace = workspace
local Players = Game:GetService("Players")
local Player = Players.LocalPlayer
local Character = Player.Character or Player.CharacterAdded:Wait()
local Head = Character:FindFirstChild("Head") or Character:WaitForChild("Head")
local Camera = Workspace.CurrentCamera

local function OnCameraChanged()
	local Distance = (Head.Position - Camera.CFrame.Position).Magnitude
	for _, Child in ipairs(Character:GetChildren()) do
		if (Child.Name ~= "HumanoidRootPart") and Child:IsA("BasePart") then Child.Transparency = 1 - (Distance / 128) end
	end
end

Camera:GetPropertyChangedSignal("CFrame"):Connect(OnCameraChanged)

Local script.

Camera Changed event is definitely the way to go, also as @zhenjie2003 said, i forgot to add “:GetDescendants()” cause i was in a rush
