Hi,
I am trying to make a script that replicates a model (in this case a nametag badge) onto every players body, with the surfacegui on the badge displaying their name.
It works perfectly in play test with 2 clients, but in a live game it only replicates it onto the first player that joins, but does not exist on the second player.
Here is my script from ServerScriptService:
print("Nametag server script started")
local Players = game:GetService("Players")
local ReplicatedStorage = game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage")
local function setupNametag(player, char)
print("[Nametag] Character loaded:", char.Name)
local torso = char:FindFirstChild("UpperTorso") or char:FindFirstChild("Torso")
if not torso then
warn("[Nametag] Could not find Torso or UpperTorso")
return
end
print("[Nametag] Found torso:", torso.Name)
local template = ReplicatedStorage:FindFirstChild("Nametag")
if not template then
warn("[Nametag] Nametag model not found in ReplicatedStorage")
return
end
local clone = template:Clone()
clone.Name = "Nametag"
for _, part in ipairs(clone:GetDescendants()) do
if part:IsA("BasePart") then
part.Anchored = false
part.Massless = true
part.CanCollide = false
end
end
local nameplate = clone:FindFirstChild("Nameplate")
if not nameplate then
warn("[Nametag] Missing Nameplate part in clone")
return
end
nameplate.CFrame = torso.CFrame * CFrame.new(-0.6, 0.5, -0.501)
local weld = Instance.new("WeldConstraint")
weld.Part0 = torso
weld.Part1 = nameplate
weld.Parent = nameplate
print("[Nametag] Welded nametag to torso")
local outline = clone:FindFirstChild("Outline")
if outline then
outline.CFrame = torso.CFrame * CFrame.new(-0.6, 0.5, -0.5)
local weldOutline = Instance.new("WeldConstraint")
weldOutline.Part0 = torso
weldOutline.Part1 = outline
weldOutline.Parent = outline
print("[Nametag] Welded outline to torso")
else
warn("[Nametag] Outline part not found in Nametag clone")
end
repeat task.wait() until char:IsDescendantOf(workspace)
clone.Parent = char
print("[Nametag] Cloned and parented nametag to character")
-- Set GUI text
local gui = nameplate:FindFirstChild("NameGui")
if gui and gui:FindFirstChild("Username") then
gui.Username.Text = player.Name
gui.Enabled = true
gui:SetAttribute("RobloxGuiVisibilityReplicationHack", true)
print("[Nametag] Username text set to", player.Name)
else
warn("[Nametag] Could not find Username text label")
end
print("[Nametag] Setup complete for", player.Name)
for _, otherPlayer in ipairs(Players:GetPlayers()) do
if otherPlayer ~= player then
task.delay(2, function()
local char = otherPlayer.Character
if char then
local seen = char:FindFirstChild("Nametag")
print("[Debug] Player", player.Name, "checking", otherPlayer.Name, "→ Nametag seen:", seen and true or false)
end
end)
end
end
end
local function onPlayerAdded(player)
player.CharacterAdded:Connect(function(char)
setupNametag(player, char)
end)
if player.Character then
setupNametag(player, player.Character)
end
end
for _, player in ipairs(Players:GetPlayers()) do
onPlayerAdded(player)
end
Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(onPlayerAdded)
And here is a screenshot from the console confirming that it only replicates into one player.
Thank you!
