Problems with making a billboard Gui server sided

Help and Feedback Scripting Support
#1

So I have recently wanted to create a billboard GUI that is shown to the whole server above a players head, and it would show the players name, their rank, and their in-game performance. The first two were ok, but how can I make the last one show the whole server the player’s performance above their head because at the moment I was only able to get the billboard GUI show only that players performance, and not anyone else’s in the server,
Here are a few screenshots.

here is a test in a server, the problem I have is I can only see one player’s performance in-game, and that is my own, I cannot see other players performance.

here are the scripts, the goal of the scripts are to fire the server whenever the player’s performance changes and update that for the whole server by changing their GUI on the server-side for everyone to see their performance

-- local script to the server to get player ping and performance in general
local player = game.Players.LocalPlayer
    local RunService = game:GetService("RunService")
local Last = tick()
local FPS = 0
local preformancetext = script.Parent
local Function = game.ReplicatedStorage:WaitForChild('PingFunctionLocal')
local RS = game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage")
local low = RS:WaitForChild("PreformanceEvents"):WaitForChild("Low")
local med =  RS:WaitForChild("PreformanceEvents"):WaitForChild("Med")
local high =  RS:WaitForChild("PreformanceEvents"):WaitForChild("High")
local extreme =  RS:WaitForChild("PreformanceEvents"):WaitForChild("Extreme")

function GetPing()
local Start = tick()
Function:InvokeServer('ping')
local ping = tick()-Start
return math.floor(ping*1000+.5)
end

RunService.Stepped:connect(function() 
FPS = math.floor(1/(tick()-Last))
Last = tick()
if FPS < 20 and GetPing() > 200  then
	low:FireServer(player) 
elseif FPS <= 35 and GetPing() <= 100 then
	med:FireServer(player)
elseif FPS <= 60 and GetPing() <= 50 then
    high:FireServer(player)
elseif FPS > 80 and GetPing() < 25 then
    extreme:FireServer(player)
end

end)

there are four stages to performance low, medium, high, extreme, these would fire the server and update the player’s name tag respectively

server script (this script is “supposed” to update it to the whole server, I am not 100% sure if I needed a client script for the server to fire all the clients and update the change on the client, but I am sure that the client cannot change a nametag for another player.
anyway here is the script for the server to show and update the nametag for all clients to see:

local RS = game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage")
local low = RS:WaitForChild("PreformanceEvents"):WaitForChild("Low")
local med =  RS:WaitForChild("PreformanceEvents"):WaitForChild("Med")
local high =  RS:WaitForChild("PreformanceEvents"):WaitForChild("High")
local extreme =  RS:WaitForChild("PreformanceEvents"):WaitForChild("Extreme")

low.OnServerEvent:Connect(function(player)
local character = player:WaitForChild("Character")
local head = character.Head
local textlabel = head:WaitForChild("NameTagGui").Frame2.Lag
textlabel.Text = "Player Lagging" -- thus is the text label above the players head in the billboard gui
textlabel.TextColor3 = Color3.fromRGB(215,0,0)
end)

med.OnServerEvent:Connect(function(player)
local character = player:WaitForChild("Character")
local head = character.Head
local textlabel = head:WaitForChild("NameTagGui").Frame2.Lag
textlabel.Text = "Ok preformance"
textlabel.TextColor3 = Color3.fromRGB(215,255,0)
end)

high.OnServerEvent:Connect(function(player)
local character = player:WaitForChild("Character")
local head = character.Head
local textlabel = head:WaitForChild("NameTagGui").Frame2.Lag
textlabel.Text = "Good Preformance"
textlabel.TextColor3 = Color3.fromRGB(0,255,0)
end)

extreme.OnServerEvent:Connect(function(player)
local character = player:WaitForChild("Character")
local head = character.Head
local textlabel = head:WaitForChild("NameTagGui").Frame2.Lag
textlabel.Text = "Extreme Preformance"
textlabel.TextColor3 = Color3.fromRGB(0,0,255)
end)

but when I try it is not passing into the server and then the client does not receive the update from the server on a different players preformance, what I am trying to achieve is a billboard GUI (name tag GUI) that shows the preformance of a player in-game to other players and updates it when the players preformance changes.

in the end, I want to achieve something like this

you can see the preformance of the other players in-game.

here is the game where the screenshot was taken from:
New User Machine

anyone that can help me out here would be greatly appreciated.

Have you found any solution? Can u tell us how to fix this if u had?

The original code created the GUI on the client, which will never replicate to the server. Instead the server should create the gui for the player when the player joins the game. Use ServerStorage to store the pre-made overheadGuis so they can easily be cloned/updated for every player that joins the game.

Other than that, here is an overall list of what should happen to get it to work:

  1. Use 2 remote events (one for requesting the ping/fps and the other for receiving)
  2. Capture a timestamp directly before sending the ping request to all clients every second
  3. Connect a local script to the events and calculate fps (1/deltaTime)
  4. Send the fps as a reply to the ping request remote
  5. Connect reply from client to a server function to get ping (current timestamp - captured timestamp)
  6. Use the values of fps and ping to fill in the textlabels

Voila! A ping/fps system that everyone can see:

Let me know if you need some help turning the concept into code.

sorry for getting back so late, and yes i fixed the issue 2 years ago and didn’t bother to put the solution back up ;_;
