How to exclude the HMR from a cloaking system

Hey developers!

So I am creating a cloaking system than activates when “F” is pressed.

The system works just fine except for the HumanoidRootPart becoming visible when they become visible again. I have tried to counter this but it has proved unsuccessful…

Here is my code from a ModuleScript:

local turnInvisible = {}

function turnInvisible.turn(player)
	local character = player.Character
	
	for _, part in pairs(character:GetDescendants()) do
		
		if part:IsA("BasePart") or part:IsA("Accessory") or part:IsA("Decal") then
			part.Transparency = 1
		end
	end
end

function turnInvisible.normal(player)
	local character = player.Character

	for _, part in pairs(character:GetDescendants()) do
		
		if part:IsA("BasePart") or part:IsA("Accessory") or part:IsA("Decal") and not part.Name == "HumanoidRootPart" then
			part.Transparency = 0
		end
	end
end

return turnInvisible

If you know how to fix this please reply!

Thank you :slightly_smiling_face:

If you want to check if something is not something else and is not a boolean, you do this

and part.Name ~= "HumanoidRootPart"

Maybe try this?

Ok I tried that and it still becomes visible when I turn visible again.

Okay I see anotehr thing why it could be that, change your if statement from this

if part:IsA("BasePart") or part:IsA("Accessory") or part:IsA("Decal") and not part.Name == "HumanoidRootPart" then

To this

if (part:IsA("BasePart") or part:IsA("Accessory") or part:IsA("Decal")) and part.Name ~= "HumanoidRootPart" then

Could be the ors conflicting, so you should put them all in a bracket and leave the last part bracketless. Because the ors wil ltell it “if it’s true, continue”, and a part is definitely going to be a BasePart in a character so it will be true and thus skip the other checks

That actually worked, didn’t think that the or’s would conflict like that.

Thank you!

Hello, how are you doing?

Try changing this line into this:

if part:IsA("BasePart") or part:IsA("Accessory") or part:IsA("Decal") then
   if part.Name ~= "HumanoidRootPart" then
      part.Transparency = 0
   end
end

Hope i’ve helped!
