Morphing players into soccer balls

Help and Feedback Scripting Support
#1

I want to turn players into a round object (soccer ball) but I have no idea how to go about this.

Do I have to detect the player, make all their parts invisible and then clone and weld my soccerball onto the invisible player or?

looking for a direction or tutorial that could get me started

Simple way to do it is GetChildren on the players character, if the child is a Part, MeshPart or then set the transparency to 1. The clone your soccer ball to the same Position as the characters HumanoidRootPart.

#3

Can’t you just put the model in StarterPlayer with it being named ‘StarterCharacter’?

Or are you supposed to use welding etc and scripts, I’m not familiar with these kind of stuff.

#4

Would you use “pairs” or “ipairs” for something like this? not sure if I am understanding how those work exactly but i think it would something loop through the GetChildren and if I = Part then set transparency to 1

I might be very wrong here haha

#5

This depends on the effect you want. Do you want it to just look like a soccer ball or actually be a soccer ball?
If it’s the former then you can just weld a soccer ball model to the character and turn the existing character transparent. If it’s the latter then:

To loop through the character, I use the following:

-- Assuming "character" is the player character you are modifying
for _, child in ipairs(character:GetChildren()) do		-- Loop thru character Children
	if 	part:IsA("Part") or part:IsA("MeshPart") then		-- Check if Child is a Part or a Mesh
		-- Do stuff to the character parts
		part.CanCollide = false
		part.Transparency = 1
	end
end
