I would like to have a working nametag customiser that is able to change the color of a player’s custom name tag that’s on anybody’s head

I’ve been trying to code a name tag text color along that saves as well. I’ve been trying to code it but i’m not that experienced as I’m more of a gfx artist.

I’ve tried coding it myself. I couldn’t do it as i’m not that experienced with datastores. I’ve tried too look it up on the developer forum as well but I could not find anything.

I have a script that adds a billboard gui called OverheadGui to the players head, inside it has a text label called DisplayName. Ex to find it would be game.Workspace.KasimAkr.Head.OverheadGui.DisplayName
It works perfectly but I would like to add a gui where a person can customise the DisplayName color (TextColor basically) and have it save. I’m unsure on how to accomplish this so any help would be greatly appreciated!

First of all.

Do not do game.Workspace.KasimAkr.Head.OverheadGui.DisplayName instead do game.Players["PlayerName"].Character.Head.OverheadGui.DisplayName

Second:
Do you have designated colors that people can select or basically someone can choose any color they desire?

I have designated colors inside the frame

Do you have any sort of script or are your starting from scratch?

I have a script that adds the billboard gui and the text label but other than that I am starting from scratch.

In this case, because he would be using a RemoteEvent as well, so it’s just plr.Character, another thing, YOU CAN’T PASS COLOR3 values through remote events. You need to serialize them, make them a table or so.

#7

So I’m assuming your customising the colors from a GUI, so.

You need to create a LocalScript inside each of the buttons or you can use a for i,v in pairs to get all the buttons. You then need to use a remote event to send the color of the button (assuming your displaying the colors on the button). You then need to have a server script that changes the BillboardGui Text Color.

How would I accomplish that? I have practically no experience with tables as i’m more of a beginner scripter.

#9

How do I make it save using that plan?

This should help:

Thank you! I’ve found this on the devform while researching and it seems like it works: RP Nametag Review

I would like to know how to be able to make an localscript to communicate with the server script it has.

Are you sure that Color3’s can’t be passed through remote events? It worked the last time I tried it (maybe I’m wrong)

#14

I’m at least pretty sure you can’t;

(on datastores am SURE lol)

#15

I just tested it, Color3’s can go through remote events.

I’ve tested it and it works. Color3’s can go through remote events.
