Character name being shown above head after put in folder

Help and Feedback Scripting Support
#1

I’m using this code:

game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(Player)
	Player.CharacterAdded:Connect(function(Character)
		Character.Parent = game.Workspace.CharacterFolder
	end)
end)

And the nametag shows as a result. How do I fix this?

#2

If you don’t want the name to be shown, go to StarterPlayer and set NameDisplayDistence to 0.

#3

Could you provide more information, such as what the desired result is?

#4

I want the nametag to function normally, and only show for everyone else. Right now it’s showing for the player too.

local Players = game:GetService("Players")

Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(Player)
	Player.CharacterAdded:Connect(function(Character)
		task.wait()
		Character.Parent = workspace.Folder
		local Humanoid = Character:WaitForChild("Humanoid")
		Humanoid.NameDisplayDistance = 0
	end)
end)

This would be the solution if I wanted it to be invisible for everyone. I only want it to be invisible for the player’s client, as it normally is.

#7

This sounds like it would be a good bug report.

#8

Ah yes that makes more sense and functions perfectly!

#9

This should be an option to enable/disable in my opinion.

#10 
local Players = game:GetService("Players")

Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(Player)
	Player.CharacterAdded:Connect(function(Character)
		task.wait()
		Character.Parent = workspace.Folder
	end)
end)

Try this then.

Strange how this worked, it’s just about the same script.

Yeah, the task.wait() just delays for a single frame to allow for the character model to load before attempting to parent it to the folder.

local Players = game:GetService("Players")

Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(Player)
	Player.CharacterAppearanceLoaded:Connect(function(Character)
		Character.Parent = workspace.Folder
	end)
end)

This would also work.
