Name tag visibility

I’m trying to make a nametag with a billboard gui and I want the player to be able to see their own nametag. I don’t really know how.

Hello,

This is how I would do it:

local RS = game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage")

local NameTag = RS:WaitForChild("Nametag")
local Name = NameTag.UserName

game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(Player)
	local Character = Player.Character or Player.CharacterAdded:Wait()
	
	Name.Text = Player.Name
	NameTag.Parent = Character.Head
end)

local Name = NameTag.UserName

game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(Player)
	local Character = Player.Character or Player.CharacterAdded:Wait()
	
	Name.Text = Player.Name
	NameTag.Parent = Character.Head
end)

Also I would add local Hum = Character:WaitForChild(“Humanoid”)

Hum.HumanoidDisplayType = “None”

Also this was written of mobile so sorry if it’s sloppy

I suggest taking a look at this tutorial: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=boqRVdqOhlU

It gives you an in depth tutorial on how to create it.
