Is it possible to make the character visible through the tree so say a small circle round where you character is and remove anything from where the camera is to the character, tell me if you need me to explain it better?

I’d suggest you look into Highlights, you can place a Highlight around the player’s character when it’s currently hidden by an object. Then you can use raycasting in order to check if the character is currently hidden by an object.

Do you know how i would send a raycast from the players camera as its not a part?

Hi, sorry for the late response. Cameras have a property named CFrame which returns a CFrame value of its current CFrame.

CFrames have a property inside of them named “Position” which returns a Vector3 of their current position. You can use this position in order to raycast.

Hey, I’ve just been trying to do it with someone else, ill paste the code as he had to go and we couldnt get it to work?

#7 
local zoom = 140
local FieldOfView = 7


local Player = game.Players.LocalPlayer
local Mouse = Player:GetMouse()
local Character = Player.Character or Player.CharacterAdded:Wait()
local Camera = game.Workspace.CurrentCamera
Camera.CameraType = Enum.CameraType.Custom

local RunService = game:GetService("RunService")
RunService.RenderStepped:Connect(function()
	if Character then
		if Character:FindFirstChild("Head") then
			game:GetService("SoundService"):SetListener(Enum.ListenerType.ObjectCFrame, Character.Head)
			Camera.CFrame =
				CFrame.new(Vector3.new(Character.Head.Position.X + zoom, Character.Head.Position.Y + zoom, Character.Head.Position.Z + zoom), Character.Head.Position)
		end
	end
	
	
end)
while true do
	wait (1)
	local CPart = workspace.CameraPart
	game.ReplicatedStorage.MovePart:FireServer(Camera.CFrame)
	local hrp = Player.Character.HumanoidRootPart
	local rayOrigin = CPart.Position
	local rayLength = math.round((Camera.CFrame.Position - hrp.Position).Magnitude)
	local rayDirection = (hrp.Position - CPart.Position).Unit
	local raycastParams = RaycastParams.new()
	raycastParams.FilterDescendantsInstances = {hrp.Parent}
	raycastParams.FilterType = Enum.RaycastFilterType.Blacklist
	local raycastResult = workspace:Raycast(rayOrigin, rayDirection, raycastParams)
	if raycastResult then 
		print(raycastResult.Instance)
		game.ReplicatedStorage.Highlight:FireServer(Character.Highlight,true)
	else 
		game.ReplicatedStorage.Highlight:FireServer(Character.Highlight,false)
	end 
	Camera.FieldOfView = FieldOfView
end

I’ve just found another solution which is using the Camera’s function named GetPartsObscuringTarget which is what Roblox’s Invisicam uses in order to make objects transparent when this setting is turned on.

I’m sorry if I didn’t tell you this earlier, but Roblox has a feature named Invisicam which does the job for you, it sets the part’s transparency instead of setting a Highlight around the player.
