Script active even after reset?

Asked 202 views1 answers

After resetting the whole script does not affect the player anymore, how do you fix that?

local player = game.Players.LocalPlayer
while not player.Character do
    wait()
end
local character = player.Character



local bg = Instance.new("BillboardGui")
bg.Parent = player.PlayerGui
bg.Adornee = character.Head
bg.Active = true
bg.AlwaysOnTop = true
bg.Size = UDim2.new(1, 0, 1, 0)
bg.StudsOffset = Vector3.new(0, 2, 0)
local bgcopy = bg:Clone()
bgcopy.Parent = character.Head
 
local frame = Instance.new("Frame")
frame.Parent = bg
frame.Size = UDim2.new(1, 0, 1, 0)
frame.BackgroundTransparency = 1
frame.BackgroundColor3 = Color3.new(1, 1, 1)
frame.Active = true
local framecopy = frame:Clone()
framecopy.Parent = character.Head.BillboardGui

 
local text = Instance.new("TextLabel")
text.Parent = frame
text.Position = UDim2.new(0.25, 0, 0.25, 0)
text.Size = UDim2.new(.5, 0, .5, 0)
text.BackgroundTransparency = 1
text.Text = (player.NamePl.Value)
text.FontSize = "Size24"
text.TextColor3 = Color3.new(255, 255,255)
text.TextStrokeTransparency = 0
text.Active = true
local textcopy = text:Clone()
textcopy.Parent = character.Head.BillboardGui.Frame

Try referencing player.Character directly instead of using the character variable in your script. I've had this problem before and directly referencing player.Character fixed it for me.

Put your script inside StarterPlayerScripts. Like StarterGear replicates to Backpack after respawn, StarterPlayerScripts replicates to PlayerScripts except PlayerScripts remains even after respawn.

Also i improved your script and optimized it for PlayerScripts.

repeat wait() until game.Players.LocalPlayer
local player = game.Players.LocalPlayer
player.CharacterAdded:connect(function(character)
local bg = Instance.new("BillboardGui", character.Head) -- 1) You need not clone the thing you just created - 2) There is a second "property" in the Instance.new constructor that sets the Parent
bg.Adornee = character.Head
bg.Active = true
bg.AlwaysOnTop = true
bg.Size = UDim2.new(1, 0, 1, 0)
bg.StudsOffset = Vector3.new(0, 2, 0)

local frame = Instance.new("Frame", character.Head:WaitForChild("BillboardGui")) --WaitForChild just in case
frame.Size = UDim2.new(1, 0, 1, 0)
frame.BackgroundTransparency = 1
frame.BackgroundColor3 = Color3.new(1, 1, 1)
frame.Active = true

local text = Instance.new("TextLabel", character.Head.BillboardGui:WaitForChild("Frame"))
text.Position = UDim2.new(0.25, 0, 0.25, 0)
text.Size = UDim2.new(.5, 0, .5, 0)
text.BackgroundTransparency = 1
text.Text = (player.NamePl.Value)
text.FontSize = "Size24"
text.TextColor3 = Color3.new(255, 255,255)
text.TextStrokeTransparency = 0
text.Active = true
end)
