Player info hover gui only works when hovering over limbs

[cordedphoenix54 (Shamplre1228)]

Hi, i made a GUI for when your mouse hovers over another player, however, it doesnt detect the torso/head as the player and makes the ui disapear

script

local player = game.Players.LocalPlayer

local mouse = player:GetMouse()
local screenGui = script.Parent.Parent:WaitForChild(“Frame”)

game:GetService(“RunService”).RenderStepped:Connect(function()

local X = mouse.X
local Y = mouse.Y
if mouse.Target then
	if mouse.Target.Parent:FindFirstChild("Torso") or mouse.Target.Parent:FindFirstChild("Humanoid")  then
		print(mouse.Target.Parent)
screenGui.Visible = true
screenGui.Position = UDim2.new(0, X, 0, Y)
	screenGui.TextLabel.Text = mouse.Target.Parent.Name	
	else
		screenGui.Visible = false
		
	end
	
end

end)

Its possible that its detecting accessories which are blocking the head and torso. Try it on an avatar with no hats and see what happens.

If hats are the problem, and an extra statement for if the part’s parent is an Accessory, and the accessory’s parent is a player model, then do whatever.

even doing it though the back of the character which has none doesnt work

Instead of using RenderStepped, you could use the Move event of the Mouse object and check if the part’s a descendant of a player’s character.

local player = game.Players.LocalPlayer
local mouse = player:GetMouse()
local screenGui = script.Parent.Parent:WaitForChild(“Frame”)

function isCharacter(target)
	if target ~= nil then
		for i, v in ipairs(game.Players:GetPlayers()) do
			if v.Character ~= nil and target:IsDescendantOf(v.Character) then
				return true
			end
		end
	end
	
	return false
end

mouse.Move:Connect(function()
	local X = mouse.X
	local Y = mouse.Y
	local target = mouse.Target
	
	if isCharacter(target) then
		screenGui.Visible = true
		screenGui.Position = UDim2.new(0, X, 0, Y)
		screenGui.TextLabel.Text = target.Parent.Name
	else
		screenGui.Visible = false
	end
end)

Try doing this to detect if the hit BasePart is part of a humanoid rig:

local target = mouse.Target
local model = target: FindFirstAncestorOfClass("Model")
if not model then -- Not a humanoid rig (part not under a model)
    screenGui.Visible = false
    return
end 
local humanoid = model:FindFirstChildOfClass("Humanoid")
if not humanoid then  -- Not a humanoid rig (part not under a model with a humanoid)
    screenGui.Visible = false
    return
end
-- If you want players only, add a check on model with Players:GetPlayerFromCharacter(model)

-- Got a valid target
print(model)
screenGui.Visible = true
screenGui.Position = UDim2.new(0, X, 0, Y)
screenGui.TextLabel.Text = model.Name

It works but the only issue which was stated by another person is that if you hover over an accessories name, it instead says that instead of the player name

[BendsSpace]

local target = mouse.Target

-- Looks for the first model above the `target` BasePart
local model = target:FindFirstAncestorOfClass("Model")

if not model then -- Not a humanoid rig (part not under a model)
    screenGui.Visible = false
    return
end 

-- Makes sure the model has a Humanoid
local humanoid = model:FindFirstChildOfClass("Humanoid")
if not humanoid then  -- Not a humanoid rig (part not under a model with a humanoid)
    screenGui.Visible = false
    return
end

-- If you want players only, add a check on model with Players:GetPlayerFromCharacter(model)

-- Got a valid target and the humanoid model it's under, do stuff
print(model)
screenGui.Visible = true
screenGui.Position = UDim2.new(0, X, 0, Y)
screenGui.TextLabel.Text = model.Name

Maybe try using this code.

It looks above for the model of the humanoid rig, which has the name of the character. For example, if it gets an basepart in an accessory, it would look above the accessory for the model the accessory is under–instead of just getting the accessory. It then makes sure that model has a humanoid (meaning it’s a humanoid rig).

Sounds like an easy fix. Gimme a little bit and I’ll update the code to reflect that.

[TheeDeathCaster]

local player = game.Players.LocalPlayer
local mouse = player:GetMouse()
local screenGui = script.Parent.Parent:WaitForChild(“Frame”)

function isCharacter(target)
	if target ~= nil then
		for i, v in ipairs(game.Players:GetPlayers()) do
			if v.Character ~= nil and target:IsDescendantOf(v.Character) then
				return v.Name -- Returns target name
			end
		end
	end
	
	return nil -- No target found? Return nil
end

mouse.Move:Connect(function()
	local X = mouse.X
	local Y = mouse.Y
	local targetName = isCharacter(mouse.Target)
	
	if targetName ~= nil then
		screenGui.Visible = true
		screenGui.Position = UDim2.new(0, X, 0, Y)
		screenGui.TextLabel.Text = targetName
	else
		screenGui.Visible = false
	end
end)

Alright. Now whenever it hovers over a user, it should show their name.
