Get rid of display name

Help and Feedback Scripting Support
#1

How do I get rid of the players display name when they first join? I tried doing character.humanoid.DisplayName == " " inside the CharacterAdded event but that didnt work

#2

First of all, can we see the whole script? We need to make sure “character” is a variable.

“humanoid” does not have a DisplayName property, because it does not exist in the character. Make sure to capitalize it.

local DataStoreService = game:GetService("DataStoreService")
local WorkerPointsStore = DataStoreService:GetDataStore("WorkerPoints")
local ActivityPointsStore = DataStoreService:GetDataStore("ActivityPoints")
local groupId = 5774015
game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(player)
	local leaderstats = Instance.new("Folder",player)
	leaderstats.Name = "leaderstats"
	
	local rank = Instance.new("StringValue",leaderstats)
	rank.Name = "Group Rank"
	rank.Value = player:GetRoleInGroup(groupId)
	
	local workerPoints = Instance.new("IntValue",leaderstats)
	workerPoints.Name = "Worker Points"
	workerPoints.Value = WorkerPointsStore:GetAsync(player.UserId) or 0
	
	local activityPoints = Instance.new("IntValue",leaderstats)
	activityPoints.Name = "Activity"
	activityPoints.Value = ActivityPointsStore:GetAsync(player.UserId) or 0
	
	
	while wait(60) do
		player.leaderstats["Activity"].Value = player.leaderstats["Activity"].Value + 1
	end
	
end)
game.Players.PlayerRemoving:Connect(function(player)
	WorkerPointsStore:SetAsync(player.UserId,player.leaderstats["Worker Points"].Value)
	ActivityPointsStore:SetAsync(player.UserId,player.leaderstats["Activity"].Value)
end)

player.CharacterAdded:Connect(function(character)
    character.Humanoid.DisplayName == " "
end)

try it out

Why is it a == and not a =? isnt == for loops

Yeah, you should use = instead of ==. == is used for if, while, and other statements to check if something is equal to something else, not to set something equal to something else.

#7

= is used for assignment, == is used for comparison (returns true or false)

Humanoid instances have a property called DisplayDistanceType. If set to 2, no one will be able to see the name.

(HumanoidDisplayDistanceType | Documentation - Roblox Creator Hub)

#9

You can get rid of this either using Realism mods’s hide player name or set each play’s Namedistance to 2

#10

Just go into StarterPlayer > DisplayDistanceType and set that to 0.

#11

Here’s your solution.

local Players = game:GetService("Players")

Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(player)
	player.CharacterAdded:Connect(function(character)
		local humanoid = character:WaitForChild("Humanoid")
		humanoid.DisplayDistanceType = Enum.HumanoidDisplayDistanceType.None
	end)
end)

I’d put this in it’s own script and name that script HideNames. Make sure you’re putting scripts in ServerScriptService :wink:

note: the thing Little_Joes should also work but I haven’t tested it myself

There’s no need to use a script:

Just go into StarterPlayer > DisplayDistanceType and set that to 0.

This is what you wrote. Sorry, didn’t realize that!
