Name tag script not showing when reset

Help and Feedback Scripting Support

I have a nametag script that I want a user to be above the player’s head.

The nametag stays above the user’s head until they reset. I would like it to stay above the users head even after they reset.

SCRIPT 1 IN SCRIPTPLAYERSCRIPTS

        while true do
    wait()
    game:GetService('Players').PlayerAdded:Connect(function(player)
    	player.CharacterAdded:Connect(function(character)
    		character:WaitForChild("Humanoid").Died:Connect(function()
    			local rs = game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage")
    local remotefolder = rs:WaitForChild("RankFolder")
    local remote = remotefolder:WaitForChild("RankPlayerOnRespawn")

    remote:FireServer()
    		end)
    	end)
    end)

    for i = 0,1,0.03 do
        wait()
    end

SCRIPT 2 IN SCRIPTPLAYERSCRIPTS:

while true do
wait()
game:GetService('Players').PlayerAdded:Connect(function(player)
	player.CharacterAdded:Connect(function(character)
		character:WaitForChild("Humanoid").Died:Connect(function()
			
local isAdmin = {["MysteriouslyMythical"] = true, ["DEATHRON6"] = true} 

game.Players.PlayerAdded:connect(function(player)
	if isAdmin[player.Name] then
  wait(2)  
 while wait() do		
		local rc = math.random(0,255)
local gc = math.random(0,255)
local bc = math.random(0,255)
local r = rc / 255
local g = gc / 255
local b = bc / 255
local c = Color3.new(r, g, b)
for i = 0,1,0.03 do
    wait()
    player.Character.Rank.Frame.Name1.TextColor3 = player.Character.Rank.Frame.Name1.TextColor3:lerp(c,i)
    player.Character.Rank.Frame.TextLabel.TextColor3 = player.Character.Rank.Frame.Name1.TextColor3:lerp(c,i)
end
end
end
end)
end

**SCRIPT 3 IN SERVERSCRIPTSERVICE: **

for i = 0,1,0.03 do
wait()
while true do
	wait()
--//\\ Config //\\

    "DEATHRON6"; -- Username example

        elseif type(Whitelisted) == "number" and Whitelisted == Player.UserId then
            return true
        end
    end
    return false

	end

end
end
end)
end
end

Thanks, in advanced

It’s incredibly hard to understand how this system is supposed to work, it’s very inefficient and unorganized. It looks like there are 2 local scripts and 1 server script. You’re using Players.PlayerAdded locally which is super unnecessary, and you’re using it in two local scripts instead of just combining that 1 function into 1 script. All you need to do to make this work is 1 server script which contains code that does the following:

  • Captures the event every time a player’s character is added
  • Creates a function attached to said event which clones a BillboardGUI nametag (I assume it’s a billboardGUI you’re using) into the player’s head or humanoid root part.
  • Since you seem to have some sort of admin system, you could still keep the Admin table in the server script and make it so the script will act one way if the player whose character was added is an admin, and have it act another way if that is not the case.
  • If you’re planning to have your script have these color changing effects that I seem to see in your server script, just move that into a local script inside the name tag itself. It doesn’t need to be attached to this function.

This will be much easier to do it this way than the methods you posted above, no remote events needed or anything.

SIDE NOTE: these days you should use :Connect instead of :connect

Sorry about that. I was on a project and this is the script which I had to edit. (I recoded everything but could not figure this out). I have fixed the script, and done what you have adressed. Thanks.
