Does it show any errors? If not, I assume you might have to do something with the offset.

Simply store one inside the script and clone it over to the player’s head when they join. Store it in ServerScriptService, and make sure the offset is something like {0, 2.5, 0}.

local gui = script.BillboardGui
local players = game:GetService("Players")

players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(plr)
	local ngui = gui:Clone()
	ngui.TextLabel.Text = plr.Name
	local head = workspace:WaitForChild(plr.Name).Head
	ngui.Parent = head
end)

clone it over too the players head sorry you got me confused

What I meant by that is that when a player joins, it does the following:

  1. Clone the BillbroadGUI child.
  2. Get its TextField and set the text to the player’s name.
  3. Get a “Head” part in a model in the workspace named after the player, which is supposed to be the player’s character’s head.
  4. Set the clone’s parent to the head.

Here’s the script in action in the client and server sides.

Please let me know if you need any more clarification.
