Alternative to this code that's meant to hide player displays?

Hi! I’m unsure how to go forward with this code. The script in question is part of a larger settings menu GUI and unfortunately any time it’s ticked is not working in the slightest. I’m not very experienced when it comes to scripting and would appreciate any help at all. I’ve tried multiple solutions but unfortunately cannot seem to link the GUI setup and the script. Attached is a screenshot of the GUI setup and the code that is giving me trouble.

local Players = game.Players



local module = {}

module.ToggleNames = function(bool)
	Hide = bool
	for _, player in pairs(Players:GetPlayers()) do
		if player.Character then
			local head = player.Character:FindFirstChild("Head")
			if head and head:FindFirstChild("NameGui") then
				head.PlayerDisplay.Enabled = not Hide
			end
		end
	end
end

module.ToggleName = function(char)
	local head = char:FindFirstChild("Head")
	if head then
		local display = head:FindFirstChild("NameGui")
		if display then
			display.Enabled = not Hide
		end
	end
end

return module

I’m assuming the problem lies in the part of the script that finds the GUI itself but am stumped on how to rewrite it. Again, any help at all would be appreciated. Thanks!

You toggle the PlayerDisplay (if that’s even a thing there) instead of the NameGui like you are wanting.

head.NameGui.Enabled = not Hide

Thank you for this! Unfortunately, though, I’m unable to group the two GUI parts together to make them turn off and on in time with each other. Here’s my altered script:

		if player.Character then
			local head = player.Character:FindFirstChild("Head")
			if head and head:FindFirstChild("NameGui") then
				head.NameGui.Enabled = not Hide
			end
		end
	end
end

module.ToggleName = function(char)
	local head = char:FindFirstChild("Head")
	if head then
		local display = head:FindFirstChild("NameGui")
		if display then
			display.Enabled = not Hide

And here’s what I attempted to edit it to which proved to not work:

module.ToggleNames = function(bool)
	Hide = bool
	for _, player in pairs(Players:GetPlayers()) do
		if player.Character then
			local head = player.Character:FindFirstChild("Head")
			if head and head:FindFirstChild("NameGui","RankGui") then
				head.NameGui.Enabled = not Hide
				head.RankGui.Enabled = not Hide
			end
		end
	end
end

module.ToggleName = function(char)
	local head = char:FindFirstChild("Head")
	if head then
		local display = head:FindFirstChild("NameGui", "RankGui")
		if display then
			display.Enabled = not Hide

This is probably simply but it’s flying completely over my head. I appreciate your initial response! :slight_smile:

Alright, your problem is the fact that you can not try to find 2 different children in the same :FindFirstChild().

module.ToggleNames = function(bool)
	Hide = bool
	for _, player in pairs(Players:GetPlayers()) do
		if player.Character then
			local head = player.Character:FindFirstChild("Head")
			if head and head:FindFirstChild("NameGui") and head:FindFirstChild("RankGui") then
				head.NameGui.Enabled = not Hide
				head.RankGui.Enabled = not Hide
			end
		end
	end
end

module.ToggleName = function(char)
	local head = char:FindFirstChild("Head")
	if head then
		local display = head:FindFirstChild("NameGui")
		local display2 = head:FindFirstChild("RankGui")
		if display and display2 then
			display.Enabled = not Hide
			display2.Enabled = not Hide
