Can I change the location of the humanoid model name display gui?

Yes, you can change the position of the model name display GUI for a humanoid by adjusting the position of the HumanoidRootPart and the Head of the model.

Here’s an example of how to move the GUI to the bottom of the character’s feet:

-- Get a reference to the character you want to move the GUI for
local character = game.Workspace.MyCharacter -- Change to the character in question, doesn't have to be workspace.MyCharacter, it can be a character derived from the player object too. Just change this and you'll be fine.

-- Get references to the HumanoidRootPart and Head of the character
local humanoidRootPart = character:FindFirstChild("HumanoidRootPart")
local head = character:FindFirstChild("Head")

-- If the character has a HumanoidRootPart and a Head, move the GUI to the bottom of the character's feet
if humanoidRootPart and head then
    local guiOffset = Vector3.new(0, -2, 0) -- Set the offset of the GUI from the character's feet

    -- Get a reference to the model name display GUI
    local gui = humanoidRootPart.DisplayName

    -- Set the Adornee of the GUI to the character's head, and position it at the bottom of the character's feet
    gui.Adornee = head
    gui.Offset = guiOffset

    -- Make sure the GUI is always visible on top of other objects
    gui.AlwaysOnTop = true
end

I haven’t tested it yet, so feel free to tell me if it doesn’t work.

What I want to change is npc, not player.

After slightly modifying the script, I added the script inside the humanoid and tried it, but it didn’t work.

-- Get a reference to the character you want to move the GUI for

local character = game.Workspace.Leaderboard.Top1

-- Get references to the HumanoidRootPart and Head of the character

local humanoidRootPart = character:FindFirstChild("HumanoidRootPart")

local head = character:FindFirstChild("Head")

-- If the character has a HumanoidRootPart and a Head, move the GUI to the bottom of the character's feet

if humanoidRootPart and head then

local guiOffset = Vector3.new(0, -2, 0) -- Set the offset of the GUI from the character's feet

-- Get a reference to the model name display GUI

local gui = humanoidRootPart.DisplayName

-- Set the Adornee of the GUI to the character's head, and position it at the bottom of the character's feet

gui.Adornee = head

gui.Offset = guiOffset

-- Make sure the GUI is always visible on top of other objects

gui.AlwaysOnTop = true

end

try this:

-- Get a reference to the NPC you want to move the GUI for
local npc = game.Workspace.NPC

-- Get references to the Head and HumanoidRootPart of the NPC
local head = npc:FindFirstChild("Head")
local humanoidRootPart = npc:FindFirstChild("HumanoidRootPart")

-- If the NPC has a Head and a HumanoidRootPart, move the GUI to the bottom of the NPC's feet
if head and humanoidRootPart then
    local guiOffset = Vector3.new(0, -2, 0) -- Set the offset of the GUI from the NPC's feet

    -- Get a reference to the model name display GUI
    local gui = humanoidRootPart.DisplayName

    -- Set the Adornee of the GUI to the NPC's head, and position it at the bottom of the NPC's feet
    gui.Adornee = head
    gui.Offset = guiOffset

    -- Make sure the GUI is always visible on top of other objects
    gui.AlwaysOnTop = true
end

if this doesn’t work i wont be able to help you as my limits are here, ik it’s like the same code but try,
and make sure its in the humanoid

edit: my bad its already in the humanoid

#5

Thank you, but it doesn’t work…

#6

do you see any errors, does it move at all?

also, make sure its not anchored or locked, as it may prevent gui from moving (i think)
check that displayname is not nil either as it may cause the issue

#7

Yes, there is an error.

gui = humanoidRootPart.DisplayName

DisplayName not found in humanoidRootPart

DisplayName is not a valid member of Part “Workspace.Npc.HumanoidRootPart”

#8

try script.Parent.DisplayName and if that doesnt work, .Name instead
