  1. What do you want to achieve? Hello, i need to make the first person arms back to transparent after i turned them visible for something, i use this script to make the arms visible in first person :
local armsParts = {"LeftHand", "LeftLowerArm", "LeftUpperArm", "RightHand", "RightLowerArm", "RightUpperArm"}

for i, bodyPart in pairs(player.Character:GetChildren()) do
		if table.find(armsParts, bodyPart.Name) and bodyPart:IsA("BasePart") then
			bodyPart.LocalTransparencyModifier = bodyPart.Transparency
			bodyPart:GetPropertyChangedSignal("LocalTransparencyModifier"):Connect(function()
				bodyPart.LocalTransparencyModifier = bodyPart.Transparency
			end)
		end
	end

  1. What is the issue? I can’t manage to make the first person arms transparent back again

  2. What solutions have you tried so far? I looked on forums and tried to fix it myself.

You can’t set the transparency back because of this code you wrote. Just remove this, since you don’t need it.

#3

Who told you i don’t need it, when i equip my gun i want the arms to be visible and not visible when in unequip it

#4

Can’t you just do something like

local children = player.Character:GetChildren()

for i,arm in pairs(children) do

if arm.Name == "RightHand" or arm.Name == "RightLowerArm" or arm.Name == "RightUpperArm" then
arm.Transparency = 1

end
end

I’m saying that the connection is causing the problem. It’s forcing the transparency to be the transparency of the part, forever.

#6

You want this to happen when you ‘equip’ and ‘unequip’ the gun, or just when the camera is zoomed in to first person and zoomed out to third person?

#7

Maybe instead of setting the modifier to the transparency of the part, set it to a variable, and use RunService to set the modifier every frame.

If it is for just equipping and unequipping a tool, you only need to check for the Equipped and Unequipped events.

local modifier = 0

game:GetService("RunService").RenderStepped:Connect(function(dt)
	for _, obj in pairs(player.Character:GetChildren()) do
		if obj:IsA("BasePart") then
			obj.LocalTransparencyModifier = modifier
		end
	end
end)

local function show() -- turn back to Visible
	modifier = 0
end

local function hide() -- turn back to Transparent/Invisible
	modifier = 1
end

hide()
