Hello! With the following script below, I’m trying to attach the BillboardGUI called Nametag in ReplicatedStorage to the head. When I attach the BillboardGUI to the part, I can see it, meaning that it should be visible on the head. However, I don’t see it. There are no errors or warnings, so I’m lost. Thanks for your help.
local GROUP_ID = 35485008
game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(player)
player.CharacterAdded:Connect(function(character)
local humanoid = character:WaitForChild("Humanoid")
local head = character:WaitForChild("Head")
local nametag = game.ReplicatedStorage:WaitForChild("Nametag"):Clone()
nametag.Parent = head
local u = nametag:WaitForChild("Frame"):WaitForChild("Username")
local r = nametag:WaitForChild("Frame"):WaitForChild("Rank")
if player.DisplayName == player.Name then
u.Text = player.Name
else
u.Text = player.DisplayName .. " (@" .. player.Name .. ")"
end
local success, rank = pcall(player.GetRoleInGroup, player, GROUP_ID)
r.Text = success and rank or "Guest"
end)
end)
I added nametag.Adornee = head and it doesn’t work (did I script it correctly?) cc @LxckyDev
game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(player)
player.CharacterAdded:Connect(function(character)
local humanoid = character:WaitForChild("Humanoid")
local head = character:WaitForChild("Head")
local nametag = game.ReplicatedStorage:WaitForChild("Nametag"):Clone()
nametag.Adornee = head
nametag.Parent = head
local u = nametag:WaitForChild("Frame"):WaitForChild("Username")
local r = nametag:WaitForChild("Frame"):WaitForChild("Rank")
if player.DisplayName == player.Name then
u.Text = player.Name
else
u.Text = player.DisplayName .. " (@" .. player.Name .. ")"
end
local success, rank = pcall(player.GetRoleInGroup, player, GROUP_ID)
r.Text = success and rank or "Guest"
end)
end)```
It looks like you scripted it correctly. Try looking at the parent and adornee property of the script after pressing play. Maybe you have the script under a container where it doesn’t work (like ReplicatedStorage) also, check if your head is called “Head”
Thee is no adornee property to it, and the Parent is ReplicatedStorage. The script is just in ServerScriptService, and the head of the player is a MeshPart called Head.
I’m also confused as in my other game, this script works. When I uploaded it to my current game, it doesn’t.
game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(player)
player.CharacterAdded:Connect(function(character)
local head = character:WaitForChild("Head")
local nametag = game.ReplicatedStorage:WaitForChild("Nametag"):Clone()
nametag.Parent = head
local u = nametag:WaitForChild("Frame"):WaitForChild("Username")
local r = nametag:WaitForChild("Frame"):WaitForChild("Rank")
if player.DisplayName == player.Name then
u.Text = player.Name
else
u.Text = player.DisplayName .. " (@" .. player.Name .. ")"
end
local s, rank = pcall(player.GetRoleInGroup, player, GROUP_ID)
r.Text = s and rank or "Guest"
end)
end)```
Sorry, I meant check the BillboardGui for the adornee and parent property. I was able to make a script that sets the adornee property to the head, but not without issues.
If you’re testing this in Studio, your player can load in before that PlayerAdded connection is made. Does the nametag show when playing the game outsideof Studio?
If you’re the first player to load into the game, you’ll sometimes load in before Players.PlayerAdded can fire. A way around this would be to put this at the start of the script.
for _, v in game.Players:GetPlayers() do
—your code
end
