basically, whenever you hover your mouse over a player within a certain distance of them being near you, a UI will show up with their name and health, im guessing this is somewhat simple and im missing something, here is an example:
(ignore me not cropping the image lol)
You probably are
Well, you’d need to detect when the Mouse moves using the Move Event & frequently checking for a Mouse.Target property
This property gives the BasePart if the mouse is hovering over a specific part, if there’s no hovered part then it’d equal nil
Adding this onto with using the GetPlayerFromCharacter() function, you can check if the Mouse’s Target is hovering over 1 of the Character’s Parts or not to show a UI
local Player = game.Players.LocalPlayer
local Mouse = Player:GetMouse()
local UI = --UI to show here
Mouse.Move:Connect(function()
local Target = Mouse.Target
local CharTarget = game.Players:GetPlayerFromCharacter(Target.Parent)
if CharTarget then
UI.Visible = true
else
UI.Visible = false
end
end)Torso doesnt exist, apparently,
local Player = game.Players.LocalPlayer
local Mouse = Player:GetMouse()
local UI = Player.PlayerGui:WaitForChild("PlayerHealth") --UI to show here
Mouse.Move:Connect(function()
local Target = Mouse.Target
local CharTarget = game.Players:GetPlayerFromCharacter(Target.Parent)
if Target == CharTarget:WaitForChild("Torso") then
UI.Visible = true
else
UI.Visible = false
end
--[[
if CharTarget then
UI.Visible = true
else
UI.Visible = false
end
--]]
end)
You need to implement a sanity check to ensure that there is an actual CharTarget property, otherwise it’d default as some error or a nil value
Use the code I referenced earlier
local Player = game.Players.LocalPlayer
local Mouse = Player:GetMouse()
local UI = Player.PlayerGui:WaitForChild("PlayerHealth")
Mouse.Move:Connect(function()
local Target = Mouse.Target
local CharTarget = game.Players:GetPlayerFromCharacter(Target.Parent)
if CharTarget and Target.Name == "Torso" then
UI.Enabled = true
else
UI.Enabled = false
end
end)how about the players body parts instead of the torso? and how would the UI display the other players health, and
i have that covered, its more of the displaying the health
CharTarget would already cover the sanity check? For the Target’s Health, you could create a TextLabel inside your GUI then reference said “TextLabel” to change the text for that specific target
TextLabel.Text = CharTarget.Name
While you are asking this question, I scripted this. This is done by using heartbeat to update the GUI, get :DistanceFromCharacter() for showing over a certain distance, and mouse to detect visibility. Yes, this also detects accessories and body parts.
local rs = game:GetService("RunService")
local mouse = game.Players.LocalPlayer:GetMouse()
local ui = script.Parent.Parent.Parent
local frame = script.Parent.Parent
local plr = game.Players.LocalPlayer
local char = plr.Character or plr.CharacterAdded:Wait()
local HPframe = script.Parent
local text = script.Parent.Parent.NamePLR
local maxDist = 10
rs.Heartbeat:Connect(function()
local target = mouse.Target
if target then
local CharTarget = game.Players:GetPlayerFromCharacter(target.Parent) -- bodypart
or game.Players:GetPlayerFromCharacter(target.Parent.Parent) -- accessory
if CharTarget then
local head = CharTarget.Character:FindFirstChild("Head")
if head then
local dist = plr:DistanceFromCharacter(head.Position)
if dist < maxDist then
frame.Visible = true
text.Text = CharTarget.Name
local charTarget = CharTarget.Character
HPframe.Bar.Size = UDim2.new(0,(charTarget.Humanoid.Health/charTarget.Humanoid.Health * 200),1,0)
else
frame.Visible = false
end
end
else
frame.Visible = false
end
end
end)

Edit: I’m assuming there is some GUI health bar offset issue so I’m going to try to fix that.
Edit2: Fixed it, but I didn’t test it but should work.
isnt that the characters name? would i do TextLabel.Text = CharTarget.Humanoid.Health?
or, a bar with a Udim2
That’s if you want to show the name (Provided in your OP that you showed)
If you wanted to just show the health, you can do that too using CharTarget.Humanoid.Health
well, i cant, as ive already tried that, and there is an error, multiple, but here is the main one
Attempt to index nil with Humanoid
Wait I’m stupid
local Player = game.Players.LocalPlayer
local Mouse = Player:GetMouse()
local UI = Player.PlayerGui:WaitForChild("PlayerHealth")
Mouse.Move:Connect(function()
local Target = Mouse.Target
local PlayerTarget = game.Players:GetPlayerFromCharacter(Target.Parent)
if PlayerTarget then
local CharTarget = Target.Parent
--Now do your HP change here
UI.Enabled = true
else
UI.Enabled = false
end
end)
Also why would it say that it’d be nil if there was already a change detected?
Give nil because, when pointing to the sky, there is nothing to return.
Only this line is missing below Target:
if not Target then return end
attempt to index nil with parent
local Player = game.Players.LocalPlayer
local Mouse = Player:GetMouse()
local UI = Player.PlayerGui:WaitForChild("PlayerHealth")
local TweenService = game:GetService("TweenService")
local TextLabel = UI:WaitForChild("Frame").TextLabel
--[[
local UITweenInfo = TweenInfo.new(
1, -- Time
Enum.EasingStyle.Quad, -- EasingStyle
Enum.EasingDirection.InOut, -- EasingDirection
0, -- RepeatCount (when less than zero the tween will loop indefinitely)
false, -- Reverses (tween will reverse once reaching it's goal)
0 -- DelayTime

local UI = TweenService:Create(UI, UITweenInfo, {Transparency = 1})
local UITweenInfo2 = TweenInfo.new(
1, -- Time

Enum.EasingDirection.InOut, -- EasingDirection

local tween = TweenService:Create(UI, UITweenInfo2, {Transparency = 0})
--]]
Mouse.Move:Connect(function()
local Target = Mouse.Target
local PlayerTarget = game.Players:GetPlayerFromCharacter(Target.Parent)
if PlayerTarget then
if not Target then
return
end
local CharTarget = Target.Parent
TextLabel.Text = CharTarget.Humanoid.Health--Now do your HP change here
UI.Enabled = true
else
UI.Enabled = false
end
end)
Reference the if not Target then statement when you first define it
Mouse.Move:Connect(function()
local Target = Mouse.Target
if not Target then
return
end
local PlayerTarget = game.Players:GetPlayerFromCharacter(Target.Parent)
if PlayerTarget then
local CharTarget = Target.Parent
TextLabel.Text = CharTarget.Humanoid.Health--Now do your HP change here
UI.Enabled = true
else
UI.Enabled = false
end
end)no errors, but also nothing happens
Perhaps try printing, and see what works & what doesn’t?
Mouse.Move:Connect(function()
local Target = Mouse.Target
if not Target then
return
end
local PlayerTarget = game.Players:GetPlayerFromCharacter(Target.Parent)
if PlayerTarget then
local CharTarget = Target.Parent
print("Found Target")
TextLabel.Text = CharTarget.Humanoid.Health--Now do your HP change here
print("TextLabel Text = Humanoids health")
UI.Enabled = true
print("Enabled")
else
UI.Enabled = false
print("Disabled")
end
end)
prints everything,
and still only works when the mouse is over the torso
When you mean “nothing happens”, do you mean the UI isn’t showing up?
yeah basically, everything is still printing though
this is what im using now:
Mouse.Move:Connect(function()
local Target = Mouse.Target
if not Target then
return
end
local PlayerTarget = game.Players:GetPlayerFromCharacter(Target.Parent)
local head = PlayerTarget.Character:FindFirstChild("Head")
local dist = Player:DistanceFromCharacter(head.Position)
if dist < maxDist then
UI.Visible = true
TextLabel.Text = PlayerTarget.Name
local charTarget = Player.Character
UI.Frame.Frame.Size = UDim2.new(0,(PlayerTarget.Humanoid.Health/PlayerTarget.Humanoid.Health * 200),1,0)
else
UI.Visible = false
end
end)
tried this and it didnt work, no errors, this is my UI layout:
local script in startercharacter:
local rs = game:GetService("RunService")
local mouse = game.Players.LocalPlayer:GetMouse()
local plr = game.Players.LocalPlayer
local char = plr.Character or plr.CharacterAdded:Wait()
local ui = plr.PlayerGui:WaitForChild("PlayerHealth")
local frame = ui.Frame
local HPframe = plr.PlayerGui:WaitForChild("PlayerHealth").Frame.Frame
local text = frame.TextLabel
local maxDist = 10
rs.Heartbeat:Connect(function()
local target = mouse.Target
if target then
local CharTarget = game.Players:GetPlayerFromCharacter(target.Parent) -- bodypart
or game.Players:GetPlayerFromCharacter(target.Parent.Parent) -- accessory
if CharTarget then
local head = CharTarget.Character:FindFirstChild("Head")
if head then
local dist = plr:DistanceFromCharacter(head.Position)
if dist < maxDist then
frame.Visible = true
text.Text = CharTarget.Name
local charTarget = CharTarget.Character
HPframe.Size = UDim2.new(0,(charTarget.Humanoid.Health/charTarget.Humanoid.Health * 200),1,0)
else
frame.Visible = false
end
end
else
frame.Visible = false
end
end
end)
