Roleplay naming system not working

Help and Feedback Scripting Support
#1

I am trying to make a roleplay First/Last name system with 2 Overhead GUIs with the following script, yes there is a client script firing the event but this script doesn’t work and it changes the Overhead GUI’s text to “Instance”.

I’m quite new to GUI scripting and such, so please understand.

local DataTable = {
	["Roleplay Name"] =
	{
		["First Name"] = "",
		["Last Name"]  = "",
	},
}
local billboardgui = game:GetService("ServerStorage"):WaitForChild("OverheadGui")    
local textServ = game:GetService("TextService")

game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(Player)
	Player.CharacterAdded:Connect(function(character)
		local clonedgui = billboardgui:Clone()
		local PlayerName = DataTable["Roleplay Name"]["First Name"].." "..DataTable["Roleplay Name"]["Last Name"]
		clonedgui.Frame.TextLabel.Text = PlayerName
		clonedgui.Frame.TextLabel.TextColor3 = Color3.fromRGB(13, 105, 172)
		clonedgui.Parent = game.Workspace:WaitForChild(Player.Name).Head
	end)
end)

game.ReplicatedStorage.ChangeRPName.OnServerEvent:Connect(function(plr, name)

	local filteredObject
	local filteredText

	local success, err = pcall(function()
		filteredObject = textServ:FilterStringAsync(name, plr.UserId)
	end)

	if(success) then
		local complete, failed = pcall(function()
			filteredText = filteredObject:GetNonChatStringForBroadcastAsync()
		end)

		if(complete) then
			DataTable["Roleplay Name"]["First Name"] = filteredText
		end
	end

	local gui = game.Workspace:WaitForChild(plr.Name).Head.OverheadGui
	local PlayerName = DataTable["Roleplay Name"]["First Name"].." "..DataTable["Roleplay Name"]["Last Name"]
	gui.Frame.TextLabel.Text = PlayerName
end)



game.ReplicatedStorage.ChangeRPName2.OnServerEvent:Connect(function(plr, name)

	local filteredObject
	local filteredText

	local success, err = pcall(function()
		filteredObject = textServ:FilterStringAsync(name, plr.UserId)
	end)

	if(success) then
		local complete, failed = pcall(function()
			filteredText = filteredObject:GetNonChatStringForBroadcastAsync()
		end)

		if(complete) then
			DataTable["Roleplay Name"]["Last Name"] = filteredText
		end
	end
	
	local gui = game.Workspace:WaitForChild(plr.Name).Head.OverheadGui
	local PlayerName = DataTable["Roleplay Name"]["First Name"].." "..DataTable["Roleplay Name"]["Last Name"]
	gui.Frame.TextLabel.Text = PlayerName
end)

Why is this happening and how can I fix it?

Is it saying anything in output?

No, it’s unfortunately not. Perhaps it’s the issue of the code itself?

Never mind. I just had an issue in the client side script. Fixed it.
