How To make pets re-appear after hiding them

I am making a setting where you can hide other’s pets, I currently have the hide part sorted and working fine.
When it comes to returning the pets if the player then toggles this setting again I can’t figure out the best approach to do this.
I have all player pets equipped sorted in a folder system in the workspace as seen below:

Would there be any way to somehow clone over the unchanged folder from the server over to the client? Or would there be a better approach to this?

This is my script currently (client script)

local Players = game:GetService("Players")
local player = Players.LocalPlayer
local Settings = player:WaitForChild("Settings")
local showOtherPets = Settings:WaitForChild("showOtherPets")
local playerPets = workspace:WaitForChild("Player_Pets")

local othersPets = { --I was experimenting with a table to restore pets but couldn't get it working
	
}

if showOtherPets.Value == false then
	for i,v in pairs(playerPets:GetChildren()) do
		if v.Name ~= player.Name then
			wait(0.1)
			table.insert(othersPets,v)
			v:Remove()
		end
	end
end

playerPets.ChildAdded:Connect(function(child)
	if child.Name ~= player.Name and showOtherPets.Value == false then
		wait(0.1)
		table.insert(othersPets,child)
		child:Remove()
	end
end)

showOtherPets.Changed:Connect(function()
	if showOtherPets.Value == false then
		for i,v in pairs(playerPets:GetChildren()) do
			if v.Name ~= player.Name then
				wait(0.1)
				table.insert(othersPets,v)
				v:Remove()
			end
		end
    end
end

I’ve personally used a system recently where I just make the pet invisible if the “Visible” attribute inside of it is set to false. No re-parenting needed. The server can set the visibility to false and it will replicate to every client, if a client sets the visibility to false only they will see the pet disappear.

So do you just set the transparency to 1 if the pet is set to invisible? The only problem with that approach for me is the parts that make up my pets are not always 0 transparency.

You can use another attribute to remember what the base transparency is if one of the parts of your pet is semi-transparent, then when making them visible again you can set the transparency to the base transparency instead of 0
