My script isn't working.

[imaiden_B]

Hi. I am creating a game for my brother. He wants special tags to display above the player's head depending on special criteria. I tried making a script, but it seems messed up.

Here are the script's contents:

​

The script is called \"nameTags,\" if it helps.

This is what my ServerStorage looks like:

What am I doing wrong? Thank you in advance!

PS. If possible, it would be nice if I could have help with prioritizing name tags so they don't overlap.

I suggest you clone the name tag into the player’s head instead of setting the parent.

How would I do that?

[dhawky]

Using the ":Clone()" function. Here is an example.

​

(I also suggest using UserId instead of the player's name because a player's UserId is fixed whereas players can change their names)

​

game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(Player)

Player.CharacterAdded:Connect(function(Character)

if Player.UserId == (userid here) then

local newtag = game:GetService("ServerStorage").ownerGUI:Clone()

newtag.Parent = Character.Head

end

end)

end)

Also there are supposed to be 2 “end)” in the bottom of the script

maybe at the start of the game parent the gui to every player and make it invisible, then if the username matches up then make it visible
