It causes a script timeout

This is incorrect.

CharacterAdded works across all scripts.

#10

Ok, thanks for the info, but either way I can’t use it because the player chooses the team via Gui

#11

You can use a RemoteEvent to tell the server that the player has chosen a team. Then assign the team and create the text label above their name.

In a CharacterAdded event you can check if they have a team already. If they do, then create the label.

Like this?

-- serverscript in serverscriptservice
--Variables
local rep = game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage") --You can change this to ServerStorage for more security.
local nametag = rep.NameTag 

-- functions
game.ReplicatedStorage.GoToJoeTeam.OnServerEvent:Connect(function(player)
--Varibles
local char = player.Character
local head = char.Head
local newtext = nametag:Clone() --Cloning the text.
local uppertext = newtext.UpperText
local lowertext = newtext.LowerText
local humanoid = char.Humanoid
		
humanoid.DisplayDistanceType = "None"
		
--Main Text
newtext.Parent = head
newtext.Adornee = head
uppertext.Text = player.Name --Changes the text to the player's name.
		
--"If" Statements
--You can add as many of these as you wish, just change it to the player's name.
if player.Team.Name == "Joe" then
lowertext.Text = "Joe" --This is that the text will say.
lowertext.TextColor3 = Color3.fromRGB(255, 51, 0) --This is what the color of the text will be.
end 
end)
-- local script in gui button
script.Parent.MouseButton1Click:Connect(function()
      game.ReplcatedStorage.GoToJoeTeam:FireServer()
end)

I feel like this a much simpler way to do it. It assigns your team not just a specific team and correct me if I’m wrong but you want it to display the players team so I came up with this.

--// Services
local players = game:GetService("Players")
local replicatedStorage = game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage")

--// Assets
local nametag = replicatedStorage.NameTag 

--// Apply Name Tag
local function SetNameTag(player)
	local char = player.Character
	local head = char.Head
	local newtext = nametag:Clone() -- Get new name tag
	local uppertext = newtext.UpperText
	local lowertext = newtext.LowerText
	local humanoid = char.Humanoid
	humanoid.DisplayDistanceType = "None"
	
	--// Name Tag
	newtext.Parent = head
	newtext.Adornee = head
	uppertext.Text = player.Name -- Set text to players name
	
	--// Set Text
	lowertext.Text = player.Team.Name -- Set text to team name.
	lowertext.TextColor3 = player.TeamColor.Color -- Set text to team color.
end

--// Player Added
players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(player)
	player.CharacterAdded:Connect(function(char)
		SetNameTag(player)
	end)
end)

--// For players already in game.
for _, player in pairs(players:GetPlayers()) do
	if (player.Character) then
		SetNameTag(player)
	end
end

How can ı make Players NameTag Gui
#15

The problem with my script is that I can’t do multiple teams
@IAmKingMatt @imalex4 @d_vHoodie

#16

Is that what you wanted? The one I made is for multiple teams.

#17

14:04:20.529 - Color is not a valid member of Team

#18

My Mistake it’s

lowertext.TextColor3 = player.TeamColor.Color -- Set text to team color.

Just set text to the color of the player’s team.

#19

How can players be in game before script from ServerScriptService start running.

#20

It’s possible, it’s called redundancy and I’ve experienced problems with not making the for loop on the PlayerAdded.

#21

You can’t use brickcolor for TextColor3

When you do BrickColor.Color it returns the Color3 equivalent . (Fun Fact)

Well the error is saying it expected a Color3 value, but got BrickColor

#24

If that is the case (people skipping PlayerAdded event) then you would need to do loop for data loading and all other things that include PlayerAdded event.
Edit: after reading other posts related to it I can only find it happening when playing in studio.

#25

Yeah I made a mistake on the last code I posted but I edited it and you must have not seen it. But here it is try this.

lowertext.TextColor3 = player.TeamColor.Color -- Set text to team color.
#26

Hey man I do it when I load data but if it’s hard to believe just look it up.

#27

I can’t seem to find it please provide the link I am very interested in that behaviour.

#28

Here is a forum post on it right here :slight_smile: Players joining before Scripts yield?
