i’m trying to make a overhead gui displaying the player’s money amount
in the Players service for some reason if i have autoLoadCharacter off it wont work??
but i need the autoLoadCharacter off because im making a shooter game where players click a button to respawn
i tried using player.CharacterAdded, player.CharacterAppearanceLoaded but didn’t work

Is this a BillboardGui you’re using? You could capture when CharacterAdded, check if the BillboardGui exists in the character, and if not, create it and put in the character.
What exactly is the issue you’re having? Please post your code.
yes it is a billboardGui it is located in the replicatedStorage i am using player.CharactedAdded to listen when the player is added and then i clone the gui inside the player’s head but when i join nothing is there, then i tried printing and nothing prints at all?
this is a server-sided-script by the way
game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(player)
player.CharacterAdded:Connect(function()
print("aa")
local clone = script.Parent:Clone()
clone.Parent = player.Character
clone.Position = player.Character:WaitForChild("Head")
local wld = Instance.new("WeldConstraint")
wld.Part0 = clone
wld.Part1 = player.Character:WaitForChild("Head")
wld.Parent = script.Parent
script.Parent:WaitForChild("Num"):WaitForChild("Label").Text = "MONEY: "..player.leaderstats.Money.Value
end)
end)
that’s the script handling everything with the gui
You’re calling LoadCharacter() somewhere on the server too, yes?
respawnEvent.OnServerEvent:Connect(function(player)
if workspace:GetAttribute("GameState") ~= gameEnum[1] and workspace:GetAttribute("GameState") ~= gameEnum[2] then return end
player.Team = Teams.Alive
player:LoadCharacter()
local knifeClone = ServerStorage.Tools["Silver Axe"]:Clone() -- give them the default knife
knifeClone.Parent = player.Backpack
if player.leaderstats.Wins.Value > 0 then
local clone = ServerStorage.Tools["Beast Gun"]
clone.Parent = player.Backpack
end
if player.UserId == 4341872187 then
-- local clone = ServerStorage.Tools["Beast Gun"]
-- clone.Parent = player.Backpack
local clone2 = ServerStorage.Tools["Golden Shotgun"]
clone2.Parent = player.Backpack
end
end)wait i think i just found a solution let me try it out
EDIT: it didn’t work 
Is it loading the character? If not, what is the GameState attribute and what is gameEnum[1] and gameEnum[2]?
it is checking if it is in intermission or start_intermission do you want me to show you all the script?

No worries – glad to help. 
You pretty much figured it out on your own, I was just giving tips to try to debug the issue.
