BillBoardUI Issues

[zaiphh (zyph)]

I have this issue where the OverHead UI will not load in, heres the script below:

local Players = game:GetService("Players")
local BillBoardGui = Instance.new("BillboardGui")
local DisplayNameLabel = Instance.new("TextLabel")
local RankLabel = Instance.new("TextLabel")

-- Set properties for the BillBoardGui
BillBoardGui.Size = UDim2.new(3, 0, 3, 0)
BillBoardGui.StudsOffset = Vector3.new(0, 2, 0)
BillBoardGui.AlwaysOnTop = true
BillBoardGui.Enabled = true

-- Set properties for the DisplayNameLabel
DisplayNameLabel.Size = UDim2.new(1, 0, 0.5, 0)
DisplayNameLabel.Position = UDim2.new(0, 0, 0, 0)
DisplayNameLabel.TextScaled = true
DisplayNameLabel.BackgroundTransparency = 1
DisplayNameLabel.TextColor3 = Color3.new(1, 1, 1)
DisplayNameLabel.TextStrokeTransparency = 0
DisplayNameLabel.Font = Enum.Font.SourceSans
DisplayNameLabel.Text = ""
DisplayNameLabel.Parent = BillBoardGui

-- Set properties for the RankLabel
RankLabel.Size = UDim2.new(1, 0, 0.5, 0)
RankLabel.Position = UDim2.new(0, 0, 0.5, 0)
RankLabel.TextScaled = true
RankLabel.TextSize = 14
RankLabel.TextXAlignment = Enum.TextXAlignment.Center
RankLabel.BackgroundTransparency = 1
RankLabel.TextColor3 = Color3.new(1, 1, 1)
RankLabel.TextStrokeTransparency = 0
RankLabel.Font = Enum.Font.SourceSans
RankLabel.Text = ""
RankLabel.Parent = BillBoardGui

-- Function to update the RankLabel with the player's rank
function updateRankLabel(player)
	local rank = "" -- default rank is empty string

	-- Set the rank according to the player's group membership
	if player:IsInGroup(16516466) then 
		rank = player:GetRankInGroup(16516466)
	else
		rank = "Guest"
	end

	-- Update the RankLabel with the player's rank
	RankLabel.Text = rank
end

-- Create the BillBoardGui for each player when they join the game
Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(player)
	local playerBillBoard = BillBoardGui:Clone()
	playerBillBoard.Parent = player.Character
	playerBillBoard.Name = player.Name .. "BillBoard"
	playerBillBoard.Enabled = true
	-- Update the DisplayNameLabel with the player's name
	DisplayNameLabel.Text = player.DisplayName

	-- Update the RankLabel with the player's rank
	updateRankLabel(player)

	-- Update the RankLabel whenever the player's rank changes
	player.Changed:Connect(function(property)
		if property == "MembershipType" then
			updateRankLabel(player)
		end
	end)
end)

-- Remove the BillBoardGui for each player when they leave the game
Players.PlayerRemoving:Connect(function(player)
	if player.Character then
		local playerBillBoard = player.Character:FindFirstChild(player.Name .. "BillBoard")
		if playerBillBoard then
			playerBillBoard:Destroy()
		end
	end
end)

I’ve set it to create a BillBoard and TextLabels for me. Though the BillBoard UI is supposed to be over the players head although it does not appear at all. I apologize if this looks oddly messy.

A couple of lines you need to change:

playerBillBoard.Parent = player.Character
Change to:
playerBillBoard.Parent = player.Character or player.CharacterAdded:Wait()

DisplayNameLabel.Text = player.DisplayName
Change to:
playerBillBoard.TextLabel.Text = player.DisplayName

The second one, your not changing the label of the cloned gui, your currently changing the label of the one you created originally.
