I know that this is for when a player enters; but i cant seem to get it to automatically update for my RPG. Basically the GUi above the players head will show his level, and when he levels up the gui should update, but idk how to put this into the code without it messing up the parameters:

01game.Players.PlayerAdded:connect(onPlayerRespawned)
02function onPlayerRespawned(newPlayer)
03    wait(1)
04 
05        gui=Instance.new("BillboardGui")
06        gui.Parent=newPlayer.Character.Head
07        gui.Adornee=newPlayer.Character.Head
08        gui.Size=UDim2.new(3,0,3,0)
09        gui.StudsOffset=Vector3.new(0,2,0)
10        local text1=Instance.new("TextLabel")
11        text1.Text = ("Level:"..newPlayer.leaderstats.Lvl.Value)
12        text1.FontSize = "Size14"
13        text1.TextColor3 = Color3.new(170, 0, 0)
14        text1.TextStrokeColor3 = Color3.new(0, 0, 0)
15        text1.TextStrokeTransparency = 0
16        text1.Size=UDim2.new(1,0,1,0)
17        text1.Position=UDim2.new(0,0,0,0)
18        text1.BackgroundTransparency = 1
19        text1.Parent=gui
20end
21 
22function onPlayerEntered(newPlayer)
23    newPlayer.Changed:connect(function (property)
24        if (property == "Character") then
25            onPlayerRespawned(newPlayer)
26        end
27    end)
28end
29game.Players.PlayerAdded:connect(onPlayerEntered)

You seem to have a 'non-perfect' event ;p

The '.Changed' should only be used when there aren't any events for that case. In this case, we got an event called 'CharacterAdded'

Let's change the code:

1newPlayer.Changed(...)
2 
3-- Delete that. :)

Now we need to make it actually connect the event, so we got the final code of:

01game.Players.PlayerAdded:connect(onPlayerRespawned)
02function onPlayerRespawned(newPlayer)
03    wait(1)
04 
05        gui=Instance.new("BillboardGui")
06        gui.Parent=newPlayer.Character.Head
07        gui.Adornee=newPlayer.Character.Head
08        gui.Size=UDim2.new(3,0,3,0)
09        gui.StudsOffset=Vector3.new(0,2,0)
10        local text1=Instance.new("TextLabel")
11        text1.Text = ("Level:"..newPlayer.leaderstats.Lvl.Value)
12        text1.FontSize = "Size14"
13        text1.TextColor3 = Color3.new(170, 0, 0)
14        text1.TextStrokeColor3 = Color3.new(0, 0, 0)
15        text1.TextStrokeTransparency = 0
16        text1.Size=UDim2.new(1,0,1,0)
17        text1.Position=UDim2.new(0,0,0,0)
18        text1.BackgroundTransparency = 1
19        text1.Parent=gui
20end
21 
22function onPlayerEntered(newPlayer)
23    --[[newPlayer.Changed:connect(function (property)
24        if (property == "Character") then
25            onPlayerRespawned(newPlayer)
26        end
27    end)]]--
28    newPlayer.CharacterAdded:connect(function(char)
29            onPlayerRespawned(newPlayer)
30    end)
31end
32game.Players.PlayerAdded:connect(onPlayerEntered)

But now we face a dillema: WE WANT IT TO AUTO UPDATE!

For this, make a new LocalScript in Backpack. Now change this to the code:

01function onPlayerUpdate()
02    wait(1)
03 
04        if (game:service('Players').LocalPlayer.Character:FindFirstChild('Head')~=nil) then
05        if (game:service('Players').LocalPlayer.Character.Head:FindFirstChild("BillboardGui")==nil then
06        gui=Instance.new("BillboardGui")
07        gui.Parent=game:service('Players').LocalPlayer.Character.Head
08        gui.Adornee=game:service('Players').LocalPlayer.Character.Head
09        gui.Size=UDim2.new(3,0,3,0)
10        gui.StudsOffset=Vector3.new(0,2,0)
11        local text1=Instance.new("TextLabel")
12        text1.Text = ("Level:"..game:service('Players').LocalPlayer.leaderstats.Lvl.Value)
13        text1.FontSize = "Size14"
14        text1.TextColor3 = Color3.new(170, 0, 0)
15        text1.TextStrokeColor3 = Color3.new(0, 0, 0)
16        text1.TextStrokeTransparency = 0
17        text1.Size=UDim2.new(1,0,1,0)
18        text1.Position=UDim2.new(0,0,0,0)
19        text1.BackgroundTransparency = 1
20        text1.Parent=gui else
21        game:service('Players').LocalPlayer.Character.Head.BillboardGui.TextLabel.Text= ("Level:"..game:service('Players').LocalPlayer.leaderstats.Lvl.Value)
22        end end
23end
24 
25while true do
26onPlayerUpdate()
27wait(.1)
28end

Also make sure you make the LocalScript...

Thanks! ~marcoantoniosantos3

Thanks a lot! But does this mean that other players will be able to see it? (Because it's a local script) ? Bubbles5610 217 — 9y

Other players will be able to see it as long as you don't have filtering enabled Thewsomeguy 448 — 9y

How can I make sure filtering is off? Or is it off by default ? Bubbles5610 217 — 9y

Umm how do i make a new LocalScript in Backpack? Bubbles5610 217 — 9y

Filtering is off by default, and to make a localscript in backpack just make it in the StarterPack while in edit mode! marcoantoniosantos3 200 — 9y
