Custom Head Tag not working

Help and Feedback Scripting Support
#1

Hey there! So in the following days, I’ve been developing and scripting a game, however I won’t be mentioning about it in here, I will only be saying what the problem, script, explorer.

My problem:
I’m scripting something, I tried debugging however it does not work even I’m debugging it correctly. It’s a Head Tag, most likely easy to solve but it doesn’t end up easy to me as I’m still learning.

The Script:

local groupID = 10329333 -- GROUP ID


game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(player) -- Connect Player
	local groupRank = player:GetRoleInGroup(groupID) -- Group Rank
	local clone = game.ReplicatedStorage.RankTag:Clone() -- Rank Tag
	local clone2 = game.ReplicatedStorage.UserTag:Clone() -- UserTag
	clone2.TextLabel.Text = player.Name -- User Tag Text
	clone.TextLabel.Text = groupRank -- Rank Tag Text
	
	player.CharacterAdded:Connect(function(char) -- Connect Character
		clone.Parent = game.Workspace:WaitForChild(player.Name).Head -- Rank Tag Parent
		local groupRank = player:GetRoleInGroup(groupID) -- Get Rank
		clone2.Parent = char.Head -- User Tag Parent
	end)


end)

The Explorer:

Any help is appreciated, thank you for reading this.

Alright, I assume the problem is because the head hasn’t loaded in the character at the point you try to parent it. Do something like this:

local groupID = 10329333 -- GROUP ID


game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(player) -- Connect Player
	local groupRank = player:GetRoleInGroup(groupID) -- Group Rank
	--I moved the clones so I towuld cone it everytime they respawn instead of only once.
	
	player.CharacterAdded:Connect(function(char) -- Connect Character
		repeat
			wait()
		until char.Head
		
		local clone = game.ReplicatedStorage.RankTag:Clone() -- Rank Tag
		local clone2 = game.ReplicatedStorage.UserTag:Clone() -- UserTag
		
		clone2.TextLabel.Text = player.Name -- User Tag Text
		clone.TextLabel.Text = groupRank -- Rank Tag Text
		
		clone.Parent = char.Head -- Rank Tag Parent
		clone2.Parent = char.Head -- User Tag Parent
	end)
end)

I also fixed some other problems with the script for you.

Okay, but this part

	repeat
			wait()
		until char.Head ~= nil

can be simplified to

repeat wait() until char.Head
