Is it bad practice to update BillboardGUIs server-sided?

Hi, so I’m making a simple system where it draws BillboardGUI name tags above players’ heads. I wondered if this was considered bad practice or not; doing it server-sided.

I also came across an issue of where the server wasn’t recognizing an element inside of the newly created BillboardGUI upon creation, so I wondered if this is connected somehow. Thanks :slight_smile:

This isn’t necessarily bad practice, assuming you only change the name and only do it once per respawn it will have little impact on your game. If this is a concern for you, you can also update data displayed on the BillboardGUI’s on the client of each player.

EDIT: Another tip would be before you parent the BillboardGui edit all the properties first so the changes aren’t live.
