I want to make a transparent zone that is also make an atom or part of an atom that inside it become transparent as well.

For example I create a transparent sphere zone that if a actor arm going inside it, then the arm will become transparent but the rest of the body still visible.

Is there any method to make this possible?

The principle of intersecting geometry and influencing it is quite complex. Due to the fact that CUAs and Persons resides on a different material/lighting system, it's fairly reasonable to say it's gonna be quite complex if not impossible. That being said, a Custom Shader loader has been released for characters, so you could build a custom shader for persons and a custom shader your shape which would work as a duo to achieve your goal.

That way, you could probably experiment with the stencil buffer to make portions of the character disappear if inside of the shape.
