I have a script that displays an overhead gui that shows display name, username and level. It seems to be perfectly working with R6 characters but when I switch over to R15 characters which is what my game will be the script no longer works at all.

The script:

local OverheadGui = script.OverheadGui:Clone()

local function updateOverheadGui(player)
	local character = player.Character
	if character then
		local leaderstats = player:WaitForChild("leaderstats")
		local level = leaderstats:WaitForChild("Level")

		OverheadGui.Username.Text = player.DisplayName .. " (@" .. player.Name .. ")"
		OverheadGui.Level.Text = "Level: " .. level.Value
		OverheadGui.Parent = character:WaitForChild("Head")

		level.Changed:Connect(function(newValue)
			OverheadGui.Level.Text = "Level: " .. newValue
		end)
	end
end

game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(player)
	player.CharacterAdded:Connect(function()
		updateOverheadGui(player)
	end)
	updateOverheadGui(player)
end)

Maybe try this? :

local function updateOverheadGui(player, character)
	local leaderstats = player:WaitForChild("leaderstats")
	local level = leaderstats:WaitForChild("Level")

	local OverheadGui = script:WaitForChild("OverheadGui"):Clone()
	OverheadGui.Username.Text = player.DisplayName .. " (@" .. player.Name .. ")"
	OverheadGui.Level.Text = "Level: " .. level.Value
	OverheadGui.Parent = character:WaitForChild("Head")

	level.Changed:Connect(function(newValue)
		OverheadGui.Level.Text = "Level: " .. newValue
	end)
end

game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(player)
	player.CharacterAdded:Connect(function(character)
		updateOverheadGui(player, character)
	end)
end)

Does not seem to change anything. I am getting the error “Level is not a valid member of BillboardGui “OverheadGui”” in the console though.

Maybe it hasn’t loaded in yet? Try this for the overhead ui part:

local OverheadGui = script:WaitForChild("OverheadGui"):Clone()
OverheadGui:WaitForChild("Username").Text = player.DisplayName .. " (@" .. player.Name .. ")"
OverheadGui:WaitForChild("Level").Text = "Level: " .. level.Value
OverheadGui.Parent = caracter:WaitForChild("Head")

Same issue, same error… Before I made the DevForum post I tried everything I could to fix it and still couldn’t fix the issue.

#6

Maybe the issue is on a different part of the code then, because the code you wrote is correct

#7

It works on R6 but when I switch to R15 that’s when it no longer works.

#8

If that’s the only code you have in the game it’s very weird, I tried it in my open studio just now and it works fine.

#9

Thats weird then since I don’t have many other scripts in my game other than a music system and leaderstats.

#10

Is Level spelt correctly on the TextLabel? Sometimes there might be a trailing space at the end or at the beginning that could cause an error. These are different things Level and Level

#11

Just checked to make sure and nope there aren’t any spaces… Which is expected since it works on R6 just not R15

#12

Just figured out the issue… So I took off my headless head and then it works. I never thought of this as when I joined the studio it still said I had a head (which is in the image). Why does it not work with the headless head since it’s still a head just transparent.
