Making a simple nametag. Here’s what I want it to look like:

Here’s what it actually looks like in game:

Unsure on what to do, as it worked in my last game. (This is a new map.)

I noticed that your character has a custom name tag, and if humanoid doesn’t work maybe try using billboard gui (ask for more details about billboards). Does any other humanoid work?

It might be your view path blocked through nav mesh. Does it sometimes show in game?

Correct me if I am wrong, but I believe you are using the built-in way to display the humanoid’s name, not using any billboard gui, if I am not wrong, I believe in order for pre-built-in humanoid to function, especially with their name tag, there are certain requirements for r6 and r15 humanoid rigs.

–I referenced all the requirements from the roblox api web page
https://developer.roblox.com/en-us/api-reference/class/Humanoid

–R6

  • A basic character rig that uses 6 parts for limbs.
  • The Head part must be attached to a part named Torso , or the Humanoid will die immediately.
  • BodyPart appearances are applied using CharacterMesh objects.
  • Certain properties, such as Humanoid.LeftLeg and Humanoid.RightLeg , only work with R6.

–R15

  • More complex than R6, but also far more flexible and robust.
  • Uses 15 parts for limbs.
  • The Head part must be attached to a part named UpperTorso or the Humanoid will die immediately.
  • BodyPart appearances have to be assembled directly.
  • Can be dynamically rescaled by using special NumberValue objects parented inside of the Humanoid.
  • The Humanoid will automatically create Vector3Value objects named OriginalSize inside of each limb.
  • If a NumberValue is parented inside of the Humanoid and is named one of the following, it will be used to control the scaling functionality:
    • BodyDepthScale
    • BodyHeightScale
    • BodyWidthScale
    • HeadScale

specifically towards your name tag rig, I cannot see the ‘Head’ Part being attached to a ‘Torso’ Part, as there is simply no torso part created for this instance

If you want, you can just add a billboard gui and a text label - it looks better and it’s easy to edit
