How do i make a stringvalue's value appear on a nametag

Help and Feedback Scripting Support
#1

So basically i made a title shop and a player buys and equips a title. I made a stringvalue to show what they are equipping but when they equip it how do i make it so the stringvalue shows, for ex: they buy a beginner title and that title gets added to their inventory, then they equip it, the name of the title gets added to the stringvalue’s value. How do i make it so that value shows
here is the script if it will be any help



--Variables
local MarketplaceService = game:GetService("MarketplaceService")
local rep = game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage") 
local nametag = rep.NameTag 

--functions
game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(player)
	player.CharacterAdded:Connect(function(char)
		--Varibles
		local head = char.Head
		local newtext = nametag:Clone() --Cloning the text.
		local uppertext = newtext.UpperText
		local lowertext = newtext.LowerText
		local humanoid = char.Humanoid

		humanoid.DisplayDistanceType = "None"

		--Text on head part
		newtext.Parent = head
		newtext.Adornee = head
		uppertext.Text = player.Name --Changes the text to the player's name.




			if player == player.EquippedTitle.Value then
			if char.Head:FindFirstChild("BillboardGui") then
			else
				lowertext.Text = player.EquippedTitle.Value --This is that the text will say.
				lowertext.TextColor3 = Color3.fromRGB(103, 24, 245) --This is what the color of the text will be.
			end
		end
	end)
end)

I don’t see that you identified the string value. Did you create this script?

#3

im kinda a beginner scripter so i looked on yt to make this script

#4

First you would have to put the text in the string value’s value. A string value should not be located in a player.

#5

where would i put it other than a player?

#6

I would reccomend serverstorage

#7

Once you do that, you are going to need to fix up your script and identify the value’s location.

#8

so should i delete this?

local EquippedTitle = Instance.new("StringValue")
	EquippedTitle.Name = "EquippedTitle"
	EquippedTitle.Parent = player
#9

Yes, make a value yourself, there’s no need to use Instance.new as of right now.

#10

Would that stringvalue apply to everyone in the server? if it was in serverstorage

#11

As of right now, yes it is displaying everyone because you did not identify who has purchased the gamepass. I recommend looking at this tutorial to help you: Roblox Tutorial - How to make and use Gamepasses - YouTube

#12

oh its not a gamepass u buy it with currency in game

#13

local gamepassId = 14178155

Why do you have that there?

#14

uh if not gamepass why is this here

#15

i removed some parts of the script. That was going to be used for something else, i already know how to do it for a gamepass

#16

Can you send your new script please? Ty

#17

alright ill send the new one

If you are using in-game currency, look at this. It talks about datastores. Roblox Currency Script System Tutorial - Monetise your Game - YouTube

Should help you understand more hopefully.

Alvinblox in that video was only talking about datastores and buying dev products for currency.
