I am trying to create a button that turns all players invisible on your screen and then returning them back to normal, as they were before hand. This is very simple and I could do the first part pretty easily.
However, the issue is returning characters to their original state. If the player’s hat were not completely opaque (such as the Ice Egg from the recent 2020 Egg Hunt, which has a part transparency of 0.35) then the hat would return to 0 transparency alongside everything else, which is not what I want.
How can I save each hat’s transparency so that they most return to their original transparency without creating tons of needless variables?
Well, actually it’s easy to make, just insert some important proprieties of each part of each player character to a table, then change their proprieties and when you want to put them back, just loop in the table and you made it.
For the table structure you can do this:
local accessories = {}
--saving players' accessories
for a,b in pairs(game.Players:GetChildren()) do
local ch = b.Character or b.CharacterAdded:Wait()
accessories[b.Name] = {}
for c,d in pairs(ch:GetChildren()) do
if d:IsA("Part") then
accessories[b.Name][d.Name] = {}
accessories[b.Name][d.Name]["Transparency"] = d.Transparency
accessories[b.Name][d.Name]["Reflectance"] = d.Reflectance
accessories[b.Name][d.Name]["Parent"] = nil
accessories[b.Name][d.Name]["Name"] = d.Name
elseif d:IsA("Accessory") then
local handle = d["Handle"]
accessories[b.Name][d.Name] = {}
accessories[b.Name][d.Name]["Transparency"] = handle.Transparency
accessories[b.Name][d.Name]["Reflectance"] = handle.Reflectance
accessories[b.Name][d.Name]["Parent"] = d.Name
accessories[b.Name][d.Name]["Name"] = handle.Name
end
end
end
--changing their proprities
for a,b in pairs(accessories) do
local plr = game.Players:FindFirstChild(tostring(b))
local ch = plr.Character or plr.CharacterAdded:Wait()
if plr then
for c,d in pairs(accessories[plr.Name]) do
local parent = d["Parent"]
if parent ~= nil then
local part = ch[parent][d["Name"]]
if part then
part.Transparency = 1
part.Reflectance= 0
end
end
end
end
end
wait(3) --just to separate
--changing them back
for a,b in pairs(accessories) do
local plr = game.Players:FindFirstChild(tostring(b))
local ch = plr.Character or plr.CharacterAdded:Wait()
if plr then
for c,d in pairs(accessories[plr.Name]) do
local parent = d["Parent"]
if parent ~= nil then
local part = ch[parent][d["Name"]]
if part then
part.Transparency = d["Transparency"]
part.Reflectance= d["Reflectance"]
end
end
end
end
end
Im tired becouse i live in italy and here its sleep time, so i think i made some mistakes, anyways i hope this works.
local accessoryData = {}
for _, v in pairs(game.Players:GetChildren()) do
repeat wait() until v.Character
local character = v.Character
for _, k in pairs(character:GetChildren())
if k:IsA("Accessory") then
if k.Transparency ~= 0 then
table.insert(accessoryData,1,k)
end
k.Transparency = 1
end
end
end
wait()
for _, v in pairs(game.Players:GetChildren()) do
repeat wait() until v.Character
local character = v.Character
for _, k in pairs(character:GetChildren())
if k:IsA("Accessory") then
if not accessoryData.k then
k.Transparency = 0
else
k.Transparency = accessoryData.k.Transparency
end
end
end
end
You can loop through the player parts from a local script and do something like:
for _,char in ipairs(Players:GetChildren()) do
for _,part in ipairs(char:GetDescendants()) do
if part.ClassName == "Part" or part.ClassName == "MeshPart" then
part.Transparency = part.Transparency==1 and 0 or 1
end
end
end
It basically loops through all the players, then it loops through all the character parts and checks if the part is of type Part to then change the Transparency, if the transparency is 1 then return 0 otherwise return 1.
