How do i localize v's Children?

so i’m trying to make it so V’s children become transparent as seen by this loop, but how would i localize the children?

for i, v in pairs(workspace:GetChildren()) do
			if v.Name == Player.Name then
				v:GetChildren() do
					v.Transparency = 1
					wait(duration)
					v.Tranparency = 0
						
					end
				end
			end
		end

Iterate through v’s children like you do for workspace:

for _, Child in ipairs(v:GetChildren()) do
    --// Code
end

Use ipairs for arrays by the way, it moves in a i++ order and in LuaU it’s optimised.

FYI: You can just access Player.Character instead of finding their character in Workspace.

So is pairs and next. ipairs is idiomatically proper for iterating through contiguous arrays and it makes it more clear that what you’re iterating through is an array not a dictionary where the key matters. With ipairs, your keys are known to be incremental numerical indices starting from 1.

thanks for being epic although i was dumb and used :GetChildren() instead of :GetDescendants() since i wanted all the parts to be transparent.
