Hello developers when I try change the characters name, I get this error, I have tried changing the players display name however that doesnt want to come up above the player, if anyone could help, that’d be great!

player.Character.Name = Player.Name.." || Economy"

I get this error;

The current identity (2) cannot set a Character’s name (lacking permission 4)

I guess that is because you won’t be able to identify the character and get player from character with game:GetService(“Players”):GetPlayerFromCharacter(char)

You can use Player:SetAttribute(“nametwo”,“yournamehere”) and then get with Player:GetAttribute(“nametwo”)

You can’t to change it. ;-;
You can change Humanoid Display name

Also if the name of character doesn’t appear try to change it’s DisplayType

The issue is that when I change the display name, it doesn’t appear, it just stays at the character’s current name, and not the rest.

#4

Change the DisplayName property inside of the Humanoid of the character instead of through the player.

player.Character:WaitForChild("Humanoid").DisplayName = Player.Name.." || Economy"

#5

Still get the exact same result, it just displays the players name and not the additional

" || Economy"

Are you doing this from a LocalScript or a ServerScript? Changing the display name on client doesn’t work. You have to do it from a ServerScript

Ah I should’ve thought that i should be doing it from a server script, ill try that now!
