What is wrong with my gui script

GammerAtomYT · May 8, 2023, 8:17pm

title, basically im trynna make a script where i connect the group to my game, and based on your rank in my group, you get an overhead tag. This script is inside a screengui in ReplicatedStorage.
script:

local ReplicatedStorage = game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage")
local ChatService = require(game.ServerScriptService:WaitForChild("ChatServiceRunner"):WaitForChild("ChatService"))
local overheadGui = script.NameTag
local groupId = 17172847

game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(player)
	player.CharacterAdded:Connect(function(character)
		local head = character.Head
		local overheadGuiClone = overheadGui:Clone()

		local Success,Result = pcall(function()
			return player:GetRankInGroup(groupId)
		end)

		local humanoid = character.Humanoid
		humanoid.DisplayDistanceType = "None"

		overheadGuiClone.Parent = head
		overheadGuiClone.Adornee = head
		overheadGuiClone.PlayerName.Text = player.Name

		if Success then -- here
			if Result >= 254 then
				overheadGuiClone.PlayerRank.Text = "Goofiest Of All Goobers"
				spawn(function()
					while task.wait() do
						local t = 5; 
						local hue = tick() % t / t
						local colorrr = Color3.fromHSV(hue, 1, 1)
						overheadGuiClone.PlayerRank.TextColor3 = colorrr
					end -- to here is making a rainbow color
				end)
			elseif Result == 253 then
				overheadGuiClone.PlayerRank.Text = "Ultra Goober"
				overheadGuiClone.PlayerRank.TextColor3 = Color3.fromRGB(163, 0, 0)
			elseif Result == 2 then
				overheadGuiClone.PlayerRank.Text = "Mega Goober"
				overheadGuiClone.PlayerRank.TextColor3 = Color3.fromRGB(30, 226, 0)
			elseif Result == 1 then
				overheadGuiClone.PlayerRank.Text = "Goober"
				overheadGuiClone.PlayerRank.TextColor3 = Color3.fromRGB(0, 174, 255)
			elseif Result == 0 then
				overheadGuiClone.PlayerRank.Text = ""
			end
		end
	end)
end)

PLEASE HELP

Why are you doing it based of every time the player chats?

AmoraFolf · May 8, 2023, 8:44pm

Try printing Result and tell me what it says. I have an idea why it might not be working, but I want to see if I rule that out first

GammerAtomYT · May 8, 2023, 9:04pm

Nothing appeared in OutPut, but I got this error in it though: Infinite yield possible on 'ServerScriptService:WaitForChild("ChatServiceRunner")

AmoraFolf · May 8, 2023, 11:53pm

Well, did you make sure everything is spelled right and that it exists in ServerScriptService before running the game?

GammerAtomYT · May 9, 2023, 12:05am

ok, i just did my research and i found out that they replaced ChatServiceRunner with Chat.
But I did that, and nothing happened.

kittyPGR · May 9, 2023, 12:07am

you have parented the script to Replicated Storage which is stopping to from running, try parenting it to Starter Player Scripts.

GammerAtomYT · May 9, 2023, 12:13am

did that, and got the error NameTag is not a valid member of LocalScript "Players.GammerAtomYT.PlayerScripts.overheadGui.LocalScript"

also heres what the script looks like so far:

local ReplicatedStorage = game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage")
local ChatService = game:GetService("Chat")
local overheadGui = script.NameTag
local groupId = 17172847

game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(player)
	player.CharacterAdded:Connect(function(character)
		local head = character.Head
		local overheadGuiClone = overheadGui:Clone()

		local Success,Result = pcall(function()
			return player:GetRankInGroup(groupId)
		end)

		local humanoid = character.Humanoid
		humanoid.DisplayDistanceType = "None"

		overheadGuiClone.Parent = head
		overheadGuiClone.Adornee = head
		overheadGuiClone.PlayerName.Text = tostring(player.Name)

		if Success then -- here
			if Result >= 254 then
				overheadGuiClone.PlayerRank.Text = "Goofiest Of All Goobers"
				spawn(function()
					while task.wait() do
						local t = 5; 
						local hue = tick() % t / t
						local colorrr = Color3.fromHSV(hue, 1, 1)
						overheadGuiClone.PlayerRank.TextColor3 = colorrr
					end -- to here is making a rainbow color
				end)
			elseif Result == 253 then
				overheadGuiClone.PlayerRank.Text = "Ultra Goober"
				overheadGuiClone.PlayerRank.TextColor3 = Color3.fromRGB(163, 0, 0)
			elseif Result == 2 then
				overheadGuiClone.PlayerRank.Text = "Mega Goober"
				overheadGuiClone.PlayerRank.TextColor3 = Color3.fromRGB(30, 226, 0)
			elseif Result == 1 then
				overheadGuiClone.PlayerRank.Text = "Goober"
				overheadGuiClone.PlayerRank.TextColor3 = Color3.fromRGB(0, 174, 255)
			elseif Result == 0 then
				overheadGuiClone.PlayerRank.Text = ""
				print(Result)
			end
		end
	end)
end)

can you send a screen short of explorer where name tag is parented to.

GammerAtomYT · May 9, 2023, 1:09am

try this script

local ReplicatedStorage = game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage")
local ChatService = game:GetService("Chat")
local overheadGui = game.Players.LocalPlayer:WaitForChild("overheadGui")
local groupId = 17172847

game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(player)
	player.CharacterAdded:Connect(function(character)
		local head = character.Head
		local overheadGuiClone = overheadGui:Clone()

GammerAtomYT · May 9, 2023, 1:21am

tried that, still didn’t work for some reason.

got an infinite yield error, where you tried to define overheadGui

kittyPGR · May 9, 2023, 1:30am

place the overheadGui in StarterGui and try this

local ReplicatedStorage = game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage")
local ChatService = game:GetService("Chat")
local overheadGui = game.Players.LocalPlayer.PlayerGui:WaitForChild("overheadGui")
local groupId = 17172847

game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(player)
	player.CharacterAdded:Connect(function(character)
		local head = character.Head
		local overheadGuiClone = overheadGui:Clone()

		local Success,Result = pcall(function()
			return player:GetRankInGroup(groupId)
		end)

		local humanoid = character.Humanoid
		humanoid.DisplayDistanceType = "None"

		overheadGuiClone.Parent = head
		overheadGuiClone.Adornee = head
		overheadGuiClone.PlayerName.Text = tostring(player.Name)

		if Success then -- here
			if Result >= 254 then
				overheadGuiClone.PlayerRank.Text = "Goofiest Of All Goobers"
				spawn(function()
					while task.wait() do
						local t = 5; 
						local hue = tick() % t / t
						local colorrr = Color3.fromHSV(hue, 1, 1)
						overheadGuiClone.PlayerRank.TextColor3 = colorrr
					end -- to here is making a rainbow color
				end)
			elseif Result == 253 then
				overheadGuiClone.PlayerRank.Text = "Ultra Goober"
				overheadGuiClone.PlayerRank.TextColor3 = Color3.fromRGB(163, 0, 0)
			elseif Result == 2 then
				overheadGuiClone.PlayerRank.Text = "Mega Goober"
				overheadGuiClone.PlayerRank.TextColor3 = Color3.fromRGB(30, 226, 0)
			elseif Result == 1 then
				overheadGuiClone.PlayerRank.Text = "Goober"
				overheadGuiClone.PlayerRank.TextColor3 = Color3.fromRGB(0, 174, 255)
			elseif Result == 0 then
				overheadGuiClone.PlayerRank.Text = ""
				print(Result)
			end
		end
	end)
end)

GammerAtomYT · May 9, 2023, 1:33am

tried that, still didn’t work?
(character limit)

kittyPGR · May 9, 2023, 1:35am

any errors ?

GammerAtomYT · May 9, 2023, 1:37am

no, no errors in output.

(IHATE CHARACTER LIMIT)

kittyPGR · May 9, 2023, 1:38am

did I print Result ?

GammerAtomYT · May 9, 2023, 1:39am

yes i put print(Result) in the script, and yet nothing appeared in output.

script:

local ReplicatedStorage = game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage")

		end)

		local humanoid = character.Humanoid

				print(Result)
			end
		end
	end)
end)

kittyPGR · May 9, 2023, 1:44am

You have put the print in wrong line, try this and lmk what did it print

local ReplicatedStorage = game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage")
local ChatService = game:GetService("Chat")
local overheadGui = script.NameTag
local groupId = 17172847

game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(player)
	player.CharacterAdded:Connect(function(character)
		local head = character.Head
		local overheadGuiClone = overheadGui:Clone()

		local Success,Result = pcall(function()
			return player:GetRankInGroup(groupId)
		end)

		local humanoid = character.Humanoid
		humanoid.DisplayDistanceType = "None"

		overheadGuiClone.Parent = head
		overheadGuiClone.Adornee = head
		overheadGuiClone.PlayerName.Text = tostring(player.Name)
		if Success then -- here
				print(Result)
			if Result >= 254 then
				overheadGuiClone.PlayerRank.Text = "Goofiest Of All Goobers"
				spawn(function()
					while task.wait() do
						local t = 5; 
						local hue = tick() % t / t
						local colorrr = Color3.fromHSV(hue, 1, 1)
						overheadGuiClone.PlayerRank.TextColor3 = colorrr
					end -- to here is making a rainbow color
				end)
			elseif Result == 253 then
				overheadGuiClone.PlayerRank.Text = "Ultra Goober"
				overheadGuiClone.PlayerRank.TextColor3 = Color3.fromRGB(163, 0, 0)
			elseif Result == 2 then
				overheadGuiClone.PlayerRank.Text = "Mega Goober"
				overheadGuiClone.PlayerRank.TextColor3 = Color3.fromRGB(30, 226, 0)
			elseif Result == 1 then
				overheadGuiClone.PlayerRank.Text = "Goober"
				overheadGuiClone.PlayerRank.TextColor3 = Color3.fromRGB(0, 174, 255)
			elseif Result == 0 then
				overheadGuiClone.PlayerRank.Text = ""
			end
		end
	end)
end)

The game wouldn’t load cause of this error:

NameTag is not a valid member of LocalScript "Players.GammerAtomYT.PlayerGui.overheadGui.LocalScript"
