How to make locally transparent parts still cast shadows?

I made this system where the game makes every character limb that isn’t the arms go locally transparent, but when testing, only the arms really cast a shadow. How can I make them transparent while still casting shadows? Help appreciated!!
(below my code and image with the shadows currently cast)

local plr = game:GetService("Players").LocalPlayer
local char = plr.Character or plr.CharacterAdded:Wait()

for i, v in pairs(char:GetChildren()) do
	if v:IsA("BasePart") and (v.Name == "Right Arm" or v.Name == "Left Arm") then
		v.LocalTransparencyModifier = v.Transparency
		v:GetPropertyChangedSignal("LocalTransparencyModifier"):Connect(function()
			v.LocalTransparencyModifier = v.Transparency
		end)
	end
end

Bumping this just in case. Does anyone know how?

You are only checking if its the left arm or right arm, THEN you’re casting the shadow. That’s what it looks like to be the problem.

Just change it to “if v:IsA(“Basepart”)” only.

By the way this event is a waste of memory, just remove it. There’s no use of it.

local plr = game:GetService("Players").LocalPlayer
local char = plr.Character or plr.CharacterAdded:Wait()

local function connectChild(v)
	if v:IsA("BasePart") and (v.Name == "Right Arm" or v.Name == "Left Arm") then
		v.LocalTransparencyModifier = v.Transparency
		v:GetPropertyChangedSignal("LocalTransparencyModifier"):Connect(function()
			v.LocalTransparencyModifier = v.Transparency
		end)
	end
end

for i, v in char:GetChildren() do
	connectChild(v)
end

char.ChildAdded:Connect(connectChild)
