Because I have a rank tag or something and I want to edit the code in other script.

It is possible. Players’ characters are loaded onto Workspace. I don’t know how your code is set up, but the simplest way to do so in a ServerScript is:

local Head = game:GetService("Players").Your_Player_Name.Character:FindFirstChild("Head")
#3

You can find the head on the player’s character so it would be:

player.Character.Head

assuming the variable “player” is the Player you want to add the rank tag.

#4

player.Character.Head.OverHeadGUI.Frame
like that?

#5

If you have parented the GUI on the head already, then yes.

#6

But I want it to be automatic that you dont need to type your username

#7

Do I need to use :FindFirstChild(“Head”)

#8

Then parent the GUI after their character is loaded, using a game.Players.PlayerAdded event and then a player.CharacterLoaded event.

#9 
game:GetService('Players').PlayerAdded:Connect(function(Player)
 Player.CharacterAdded:Connect(function(Character)
  local Head = Character:WaitForChild('Head');

  -- Code...?
 end)
end)
#10

So it will be Character.Head right

#11

Thanks maybe it will be fixed I’m trying it in roblox studio

Since you want a tag above others’ heads, you can loop through all the Players in the service with :GetPlayers().

for _, Player in pairs(Players:GetPlayers()) do
	local Head = Player.Character:FindFirstChild("Head")
	
	if Head then
		-- Test if head has tag or something?
		-- then add a tag if it does not.
	end
end

If someone dies the Character will reload without the GUI so its better to do it with events like I said before.

Is this better than this? Is posible to get the players head using a script? - #9 by Itz_Louu

I believe it’d be better to use PlayerAdded in your scenario.

@Itz_Louu’s code should work better for automatically adding tags unless you need to do something else with the tags or the heads after making them.

#17

IDK if this is right

game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(player)
    player.CharacterAdded:Connect(function(character)
        local Head = character:WaitForChild("Head")
        Head.OverHeadGui.Frame.IconHolder.Computer.Visible = true
    end)
end)

Assuming the “OverheadGui” is already parented, it should work.
If not, you can Clone the Gui & Parent it to the Character’s Head.

But I already cloned it and I don’t want the gui get double

#20

So it should work, no?
Check if the Gui is parented to the Character’s Head.
