Overhead GUI dissappears on reset

[jmxxxxxx (starsforjosh)]

Hey Guys! I have been working on an overhead script with icons and I have just recently noticed that when a player resets, their overhead gui dissappears. I have tried all of the possible solutions that I could think of which was putting it in character scripts & adjusting the script. I just cannot possible get it to work, any help would be much appreciated.

So the first thing here:

character:WaitForChild(“Humanoid”) – Ensure the character is fully loaded
createOverhead(player, character)

I would put a task.wait here:

character:WaitForChild(“Humanoid”) – Ensure the character is fully loaded
task.wait(0.5)
createOverhead(player, character)

Don’t put it waaay too small (the wait) otherwise, it will just don’t work, so make sure to put that and see if it works, and if it don’t works, i’m gonna try to come up with another solution

@jmxxxxxx

overhead.Parent = character.Head
	if player.CharacterAdded then 
		if overhead.Parent ~= player.Character:WaitForChild("Head") then
			overhead.Parent = player.Character:WaitForChild("Head")
		end
	end

And why are you doing 1 check and 1 thing? you don’t need to do the check, or you just doing that to safety? i actually would remove the “if player.characteradded”, try doing that

Hey, thanks for responding. I have tried both methods & removed that bit (added that just to see if it would work but it didn’t). It spawns above my head when I load in, but it disappears after I reset unsure what else we could do.

The code inside of this function you’ve made only runs when the player joins the game, not when their character is added.

game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(player)
	local character = player.Character or player.CharacterAdded:Wait()
	local humanoid = character:WaitForChild("Humanoid")
	createOverhead(player, character)
end)

Change it to this:

game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(player)
	local character = player.Character
	if (character) then -- If the character happens to exist by the time this line is reached(doubtful)
		createOverhead(player, character)
	end
	player.CharacterAdded:Connect(function(character)
		createOverhead(player, character)
	end)
end)

This’ll call the function each time the character spawns.

Also, change this

overhead.Parent = character.Head
if player.CharacterAdded then 
	if overhead.Parent ~= player.Character:WaitForChild("Head") then
		overhead.Parent = player.Character:WaitForChild("Head")
	end
end

to just this

overhead.Parent = character:WaitForChild("Head")
