i fixed the location and the code

#16

You aren’t attempting to override the character in any way shape of form?

My other scripts are disabled as they are all failed attempts are doing this same thing.

Should I maybe be clearing accessories before doing this?

#19

does at least some parts turn invisible???

#20

I don’t think it’s possible because you cannot set a mesh to be transparent, or change its MeshId

#21 
local players = game:GetService("Players")

players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(player)
	player.CharacterAdded:Connect(function(char)
        print("Making the character invisible")
        for _, BodyPart in pairs(char:GetChildren()) do
            print(BodyPart)
            if BodyPart:IsA("BasePart") or BodyPart:IsA("MeshPart") then
                BodyPart.Transparency = 1
            end
		end
	end)
end)

This is strange, very very s t r a n g e

#22

They have MeshParts as body parts, not unions
Which is the cause of the problem, since they cannot be transparent or changed

#23

If I can remember properly, the transparency of MeshParts were editable…? Not sure.

#24

For some reason, it isn’t working here

#25

Still only the head turns invisible.

Here is the inside of the character in workspace fddb0b385132ba1c1ae8831e0fb8bac3

#26

That is becuase the other parts of your body are MeshParts

#27

How about creating a part with the same bounds of the mesh and replacing it with the part?

#28

What…?

I’m pretty sure you can change the properties of MeshParts inside Characters, it wouldn’t make sense if you couldn’t, also MeshParts do have a Transparency property

(Why are you replying back to me again I’m not the OP)

#29

Sorry, for clarification, by changed I meant the MeshId

P.S i replied becuase you used UnionOperation instead of MeshPart (sry abt it)

#30

Hold up, I tried changing the transparency from the studio and it works, but strangely not from the script? Will investigate

#31

yes, manually changing the transparency in studio works fine

I figured it out.

I found a similar problem here

Instead of CharacterAdded try using CharacterAppearanceLoaded
e.g. (source: Jackscarlett)


local players = game:GetService("Players")

players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(player)
	player.CharacterAppearanceLoaded:Connect(function(char)
		if char:FindFirstChild("Humanoid") ~= nil then
			print("Making the character invisible")
			for _, BodyPart in pairs(char:GetChildren()) do
				if BodyPart:IsA("BasePart") then
					BodyPart.Transparency = 1
				end
			end
		end
	end)
end)

np!
WaitForChild only waits for the object to exist, not for the assets to load
