You can use Mouse.Move to make it trigger whenever the mouse is moving around your prop. Then you can do Mouse.Target to see if the Target ~= nil and if it’s equal to your objects name.

Don’t forget to also put the label in your mouse’s position.

  TextLabel.Position = UDim2.new(0.003, Mouse.X, -0.025, Mouse.Y)```

That’s what Mouse.Move is for.

local localPlayer = game.Players.LocalPlayer
local Mouse = localPlayer:GetMouse()

Mouse.Move:Connect(function()
	script.Parent.Position = UDim2.new(0, Mouse.X + -5, 0, Mouse.Y + -5)
	script.Parent.Visible = false
	local Target = Mouse.Target
	if Target and Target.Name == "PC" then
		script.Parent.Text = Target.Name
		script.Parent.Visible = true
	end
end)

The script above should work as it works for me. Just ask me anything if there is an error.

Well, sorry for not saying. You should put that script in a localscript and in a gui

Sorry, I am currently on mobile. So I am going to show you what did I do:

  • Create a TextLabel in a Gui
  • Add a LocalScript in the TextLabel and put the code above there.

Well, are there any errors? You should untick the ResetOnSpawn property of the Gui.

Here is the place that I made. Edit it and copy the Gui.
