Hey! I’m making a rank tag and I can’t seem to get my code for copying the overhead gui for each player to work; I’m not sure what I’m doing wrong; I’ve written most of the code in a noobish manner, but I need some thoughts as to why it’s not working; thanks!
This is my code:
local human = script.Parent
-- makes the overhead for players above rank 0 (guest)
game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(Player)
Player.CharacterAdded:Connect(function(Character)
if Player:GetRankInGroup(11108703) > 0 then
local GuiClone = script.Overhead:Clone()
local InformationLabel = GuiClone.Frame
local PlayerRank = Player:GetRoleInGroup(11108703)
GuiClone.Parent = human:FindFirstChild("Head")
InformationLabel.Rank = PlayerRank
InformationLabel.Username = human.Name
InformationLabel.Team = Player.Team.Name
end
end)
end)
-- makes the overhead for guests (rank 0)
game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(Player)
Player.CharacterAdded:Connect(function(Character)
if Player:GetRankInGroup() == 0 then
local GuiClone = script.Overhead:Clone()
local InformationLabel = GuiClone.Frame
local PlayerRank = Player:GetRoleInGroup(11108703)
GuiClone.Parent = human:FindFirstChild("Head")
InformationLabel.Rank:Destroy() -- destroys the rank text; if Player:GetRankInGroup() == 0
InformationLabel.Username = human.Name
InformationLabel.Team = Player.Team.Name
end
end)
end)
In case you need the game file to look deeper;

Are there any errors, can you please provide us more information?
Are you even checking if the player that joins is in the group
No there’s no errors or output
I think I have?
Player.CharacterAdded:Connect(function(Character)
if Player:GetRankInGroup(11108703) > 0 then
Try putting the script in "ServerScriptService", then copy and paste the code listed below, I had to recode A LOT!
local GroupID = 11108703
game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(Player)
Player.CharacterAdded:Connect(function(Character)
warn("Character Was Added")
local roleID = Player:GetRankInGroup(GroupID)
local PlayerRank = Player:GetRoleInGroup(GroupID)
--// GUI OBJECTS
local GuiClone = script.Overhead:Clone();
local InformationLabel = GuiClone.Frame
local playerHead = Character:WaitForChild("Head") -- waits for the player's head
if roleID > 0 then
GuiClone.Parent = playerHead
InformationLabel.Rank.Text = PlayerRank
InformationLabel.Username.Text = Player.Name
if Player.Team ~= nil then
InformationLabel.Team.Text = Player.Team.Name -- Prevents Error..
else
InformationLabel.Team.Text = "NO TEAM"
end
elseif roleID < 0 then
GuiClone.Parent = playerHead
InformationLabel.Rank:Destroy() -- destroys the rank text; if Player:GetRankInGroup() == 0
InformationLabel.Team.Text = Player.Team.Name
InformationLabel.Username.Text = Player.Name
end
end)
end)

Haha thanks, still working on my scripting, I’ll try it out.
I didn’t get to see the reply before you removed it, is it working correctly or is there an issue with the code?
There was some problems with yours but I fixed them and made it work, yours only worked if the player was in the group, if they weren’t the overhead wouldn’t appear. I edited it to this;
local GroupID = 6870439
game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(Player)
Player.CharacterAdded:Connect(function(Character)
warn("Character Was Added")
local roleID = Player:GetRankInGroup(GroupID)
local PlayerRank = Player:GetRoleInGroup(GroupID)
--// GUI OBJECTS
local GuiClone = script.Overhead:Clone();
local InformationLabel = GuiClone.Frame
local playerHead = Character:WaitForChild("Head") -- waits for the player's head
if roleID > 0 then
GuiClone.Parent = playerHead
InformationLabel.Rank.Text = PlayerRank
InformationLabel.Username.Text = Player.Name
if Player.Team ~= nil then
InformationLabel.Team.Text = Player.Team.Name -- Prevents Error..
else
InformationLabel.Team.Text = "NO TEAM"
end
elseif roleID <= 0 then
GuiClone.Parent = playerHead
InformationLabel.Rank:Destroy() -- destroys the rank text; if Player:GetRankInGroup() == 0
InformationLabel.Username.Text = Player.Name
if Player.Team ~= nil then
InformationLabel.Team.Text = Player.Team.Name -- Prevents Error..
else
InformationLabel.Team.Text = "NO TEAM"
end
end
end)
end)
You just had to change the value of “GroupID”, sorry I forgot to change that! Besides that, it’s working correctly right?
No the group wasn’t the issue, I changed this;
if roleID > 0 then
GuiClone.Parent = playerHead
InformationLabel.Rank.Text = PlayerRank
InformationLabel.Username.Text = Player.Name
if Player.Team ~= nil then
InformationLabel.Team.Text = Player.Team.Name -- Prevents Error..
else
InformationLabel.Team.Text = "NO TEAM"
end
elseif roleID < 0 then
GuiClone.Parent = playerHead
InformationLabel.Rank:Destroy() -- destroys the rank text; if Player:GetRankInGroup() == 0
InformationLabel.Team.Text = Player.Team.Name
InformationLabel.Username.Text = Player.Name
end
To this;
if roleID > 0 then
GuiClone.Parent = playerHead
InformationLabel.Rank.Text = PlayerRank
InformationLabel.Username.Text = Player.Name
if Player.Team ~= nil then
InformationLabel.Team.Text = Player.Team.Name -- Prevents Error..
else
InformationLabel.Team.Text = "NO TEAM"
end
elseif roleID <= 0 then
GuiClone.Parent = playerHead
InformationLabel.Rank:Destroy() -- destroys the rank text; if Player:GetRankInGroup() == 0
InformationLabel.Username.Text = Player.Name
if Player.Team ~= nil then
InformationLabel.Team.Text = Player.Team.Name -- Prevents Error..
else
InformationLabel.Team.Text = "NO TEAM"
end
end
So just some very small changes, but you helped me tremendously.
Oh yeah, completely forgot about that part of the script. I guess that’s what happens when you copy and paste code that you didn’t write
