CharacterAdded not working on mobile

Help and Feedback Scripting Support
#1

This script is on the server and clones a nametag to the player
It works fine on computer but it doesn’t work on mobile

game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(player)
	player.CharacterAdded:Connect(function(character)
		local c = script.NameTag:Clone()
		c.Parent = character.Head
	end)
end)
#2

you don’t really need to do this, Just create a Server Script for StarterCharacterScripts and do this:

local character = script.Parent
local c = game.ReplicatedStorage.NameTag:Clone()
		c.Parent = character.Head

Although this doesn’t really answer your question (it might fix the issue, no guarantee) should still be useful

I tried that, still works for pc, no luck on mobile

#4

Use GetService on both server and client (best practices),
and WaitForChild on the client.

#5

maybe try WaitForChild might be that pc loads faster than mobile, not sure though

#6

Try this instead:

local Players = game:GetService("Players")
Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(player)
	player.CharacterAdded:Connect(function(character)
		repeat task.wait() until character.Parent ~= nil
		local c = script.NameTag:Clone()
		c.Parent = character.Head
	end)
end)

Note: The CharacterAdded event doesn’t mean that its descendants are loaded and registered…

You’re directly referencing NameTag, which may not be loaded yet. Try using :WaitForChild('NameTag') instead. The same goes for character.Head.

#8

The entire body doesn’t load when the head does. Try using character:WaitForChild("Head)" instead.

#9

It’s not that character added isn’t working it’s that roblox has a bug where if you’re not using the default head it won’t work.
Instead try:
game.workspace:WaitForChild(player.Name).Head
