local HUD = Instance.new("ScreenGui")

Backframe.BackgroundColor3 = Color3.new(0.35, 0.35, 0.35)

local frame = Instance.new("Frame")
frame.Parent = HUD
frame.Position = UDim2.new(0, 25, 0, 25)
frame.Size = UDim2.new(0, game.Players.LocalPlayer.Character.Humanoid.Health / 5, 0, 25)
frame.ZIndex = 2 --

local textLabel = Instance.new("TextLabel")
textLabel.Parent = HUD
textLabel.Position = UDim2.new(0, 25, 0, 25)
textLabel.Size = UDim2.new(0, 25, 0, 25)
textLabel.BackgroundColor3 = BrickColor.White().Color
textLabel.BackgroundTransparency = 1
textLabel.Text = game.Players.LocalPlayer.Character.Humanoid.Health
textLabel.ZIndex = 3 --

As you can see each of these frames have a ZIndex which should make it show in order of the text, frame (grey) and backframe (dark grey), but Backframe covers the others anyway. Any ideas?

Maybe try changing ALL the ZIndex's at the very end of the script. I don't know. I'd at least try that. Sometimes roblox does stupid things with instances -.-. ObscureEntity 294 — 9y

Check to see if the ZIndex of the BackHUD is lower then the ZIndex of the HUD Prohibetur 70 — 9y

ScreenGui's dont have ZIndex, color, position etc properties like Frames. drew1017 330 — 9y

But they have a property, Color, that returns their Color3. That part of his code is fine. Idk about the ZIndex thing. Sometimes if your arrange the guis in the order you want them (in the explorer), they will over-lap each other correctly, so I would try that. Perci1 4988 — 9y

Your problem is that, they are not in the same screengui, so it isn't doing the ZIndex

Try putting them in the same gui

local HUD = Instance.new("ScreenGui")
HUD.Parent = script.Parent

local Backframe = Instance.new('Frame')
wait(1) -- this isn't the problem if you're wondering
Backframe.Parent = HUD
Backframe.Position = UDim2.new(0, 25, 0, 25)
Backframe.Size = UDim2.new(0, game.Players.LocalPlayer.Character.Humanoid.MaxHealth / 5, 0, 25)
Backframe.ZIndex = 1 -- 
Backframe.BackgroundColor3 = Color3.new(0.35, 0.35, 0.35)

local frame = Instance.new("Frame")
frame.Parent = HUD
frame.Position = UDim2.new(0, 25, 0, 25)
frame.Size = UDim2.new(0, game.Players.LocalPlayer.Character.Humanoid.Health / 5, 0, 25)
frame.ZIndex = 2 --

local textLabel = Instance.new("TextLabel")
textLabel.Parent = HUD
textLabel.Position = UDim2.new(0, 25, 0, 25)
textLabel.Size = UDim2.new(0, 25, 0, 25)
textLabel.BackgroundColor3 = BrickColor.White().Color
textLabel.BackgroundTransparency = 1
textLabel.Text = game.Players.LocalPlayer.Character.Humanoid.Health
textLabel.ZIndex = 3 --
