How to make the player transparent on death

[Quirkfinity]

1. What do you want to achieve? Keep it simple and clear!
   I want the player to become transparent when they die for a disappearing effect. (R6)
2. What is the issue? Include screenshots / videos if possible!
   My code wont work. I am very new to scripting on Roblox and cannot find anything.
3. What solutions have you tried so far? Did you look for solutions on the Developer Hub?
   I tried looking for help using both the assistant and looking at forums, none worked.

Here is a script I tried that wont work.

local Players = game:GetService("Players")

local function onCharacterAdded(character, player)
    local humanoid = character:WaitForChild("Humanoid")
    
    humanoid.Died:Connect(function()
        local character = player.Character
        if character then
            character.Transparency = 1
        end
    end)
end

Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(onCharacterAdded)

By the way, this is my first forum post so if I did anything wrong please let me know. And I am very new to scripting as well.

Oh- and also, I don’t want the player to destroy or delete itself, I just want it transparent.

Get the children of the character, check if each child is a basepart or accessory and make it transparent

[JustinWe12 (Justin)]

The character of the player is a model and models do not have a transparency property. Instead you can loop through the player’s character and change the transparency of each part directly

replace this:

character.Transparency = 1

with this:

for _, part in character:GetDescendants() do
     if part:IsA("BasePart") then
          part.Transparency = 1
     end
end

For some reason, the player still doesn’t disappear or turn transparent on death. The script is a LocalScript located in StarterCharacterScripts.

Here is the script so far:

local Players = game:GetService("Players")

local function onCharacterAdded(character, player)
	local humanoid = character:WaitForChild("Humanoid")

	humanoid.Died:Connect(function()
		local character = player.Character
		if character then
			for _, part in character:GetDescendants() do
				if part:IsA("BasePart") then
					part.Transparency = 1
				end
			end
		end
	end)
end

Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(onCharacterAdded)

local Players = game:GetService("Players")

local function onCharacterAdded(character)
    local humanoid = character:WaitForChild("Humanoid")
    
    humanoid.Died:Connect(function()
        -- Iterate through all parts in the character
        for _, part in ipairs(character:GetDescendants()) do
            if part:IsA("BasePart") then
                part.Transparency = 1 -- Set the transparency to 1 to make the part invisible
            end
        end
    end)
end

local function onPlayerAdded(player)
    -- Connect the function for the player's character when it's added
    player.CharacterAdded:Connect(function(character)
        onCharacterAdded(character)
    end)
    
    -- If the character already exists, connect the function immediately
    if player.Character then
        onCharacterAdded(player.Character)
    end
end

-- Connect the function for all existing players
for _, player in ipairs(Players:GetPlayers()) do
    onPlayerAdded(player)
end

-- Connect the function for players joining the game
Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(onPlayerAdded)

Thank you! I managed to also make the players outline disappear.

The script is run after the character is added(since its parented to startercharacterscripts), therefore the playeradded signal never fires

try replacing everything with this

local humanoid = script.Parent:WaitForChild("Humanoid")

humanoid.Died:Connect(function()
	local character = script.Parent
	if character then
		for _, part in character:GetDescendants() do
			if part:IsA("BasePart") then
				part.Transparency = 1
			end
		end
	end
end)

That also works and it is much more simple! Thank you!
