"Frame is not a valid member of BillboardGui "Overhead" even though it is

Help and Feedback Scripting Support

Hello, I ran into an issue with something not being a member of something, even though it is. I already read through the posts which deal with this, with no resolution being found. I also tried using WaitForChild, which also does not work.
Something funny to point out is, that it works for my friend but not for me.

This is the hierarchy of the supposedly not existing Frame:

and this is the code for it:

Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(plr)	
	plr.CharacterAdded:Connect(function()
		local oh = ServerStorage.Overhead
		local overheadClone = oh:Clone()
		local regionCode = LocalizationService:GetCountryRegionForPlayerAsync(plr)
		
		overheadClone.Parent = plr.Character.Head
		overheadClone.Frame.Value.Text = "Avatar Value: \u{E002} "..getAvatarValue(plr.UserId)
		overheadClone.Frame.Location.Text = "Location: "..countryEmojiTable[regionCode].." "..countryTable[regionCode]
		-- it errors above this line
	end)
end)

local ServerStorage = game:GetService("ServerStorage")

somewhere right?

what do you mean by WaitForChild() doesnt work? Does it say infinite yield possible?
And what is your friend doing differently?

#7

My friend is doing nothing differently, and yes, the that’s the case with Infinite Yield possible.

#8

can you provide screenshots of your friend

#9

does it throw an error message if you run the code without parenting it to the player’s head

got a hunch its your head. set it to default
im talking about your avatar btw

#13

The default head works, but I still need that script to work for every player, not just for players with the default head, how would I do that?

#14

Re-equip the old head and spawn into the game. Check your character model in the object browser and see if it changed the name of your head.

The solution here would be to force the default head, OR make a table of all possible head items

#15

Nope, name doesn’t change. It’s Head for both.

#16

are you in team create with your friend?

#17

Yes.‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎

try publishing it and see if it works there

#19

Already tried that, sadly didn’t work.

seems to be a roblox bug. The fix here is to force the default head.
