Why is my namehide GUI not working right?
I tried making a script where there is a text button that hides your name and health when you click it so others can't see it. I'm pretty sure I did the text button fine because it shows up where I want it and has the right Color. On the other hand I'm not sure what's up with getting your name to hide. When I tested it with my brother It hides the name, but every ones name, Not just the one who clicks on it. I what to know what I can do to fix it, an explanation/advice and what's wrong. here's the script.
01 | Value = Instance.new("BoolValue") |
02 | Value.Parent = script.Parent |
03 | Value.Value = false |
04 |
05 | --this is where the textbutton and screengui code is I thought I'd take it out because this part would work |
06 |
07 | textbutton.MouseButton1Down:connect(function() |
08 | if Value.Value == false then |
09 | game.Players.LocalPlayer.HealthDisplayDistance = 0 |
10 | game.Players.LocalPlayer.NameDisplayDistance = 0 |
11 | textbutton.BackgroundColor3 = Color3.new(255, 45/255, 0/255) |
12 | textbutton.Text = "Name Hidden" |
13 | Value.Value = true |
14 | elseif Value.Value == true then |
15 | game.Players.LocalPlayer.HealthDisplayDistance = 100 |
-- I think I messed up with LocalPlayer I'm having trouble with the definition of it.
Thank you for reading this I am not great at scripting or Grammar.

The property HealthDisplayDistance and NameDisplayDistance change how far you can see other player's names, not how far other player's see your name.
The only way I know how to do this is an old hacky method where you make your player's head invisible and put a fake head in it's place.
01 | local player = game.Players.LocalPlayer |
02 | local nameVisible = true |
03 |
04 | function HideName() |
05 | if player.Character then |
06 | local fakeHead = player.Character.Head:Clone() |
07 | local weld = Instance.new("ManualWeld") |
08 | fakeHead.Name = "FakeHead" |
09 | fakeHead.Parent = player.Character |
10 | weld.Part0 = player.Character.Head |
11 | weld.Part1 = player.Character.FakeHead |
12 | weld.Parent = player.Character.FakeHead |
13 | player.Character.Head.Transparency = 1 |
14 | end |
15 | end |
01 | Value = Instance.new("BoolValue") |
02 | Value.Parent = script.Parent |
03 | Value.Value = false |
04 | ---If it's set to LocalPlayer it will display everyones health and name to 0. |
05 | ---Because that property is like the only one that can set everyone's to zero. |
06 | ---I suggest creating a event and use player |
07 | ---Here lets make one |
08 | game.Players.PlayerAdded:connect(function(player) |
09 | textbutton.MouseButton1Down:connect(function() |
10 | if Value.Value == false then |
11 | player.HealthDisplayDistance = 0 |
12 | player.NameDisplayDistance = 0 |
13 | textbutton.BackgroundColor3 = Color3.new(255, 45/255, 0/255) |
14 | textbutton.Text = "Name Hidden" |
15 | Value.Value = true |
What you're doing is trying to set their name/healthviewdistance to 0, which simply makes it so that the player can't see any names at all.
What you want to do instead is set their head's transparency to 0 and make a "fake head" so that their nametag disappears. This is because if a player's head is transparent then their name does not show up. However, this means that it would look like the player doesn't have a head! To fix this, we just clone the head and weld it.
Here's the code you'll want -
01 | local player = game.Players.LocalPlayer |
02 | local hidden = false-- this is the bool I used to check if your name is hidden |
03 | script.Parent.MouseButton1Down:connect(function() |
04 | if hidden == false then |
05 | local fakeHead = player.Character.Head:Clone() --you're cloning the head here |
06 | fakeHead.Name = "FakeHead" |
07 | fakeHead.Parent = player.Character |
08 | player.Character.Head.Transparency = 1 -- this is where you hide the name. |
09 | player.Character:WaitForChild("FakeHead") |
10 | local weld = Instance.new("Weld") -- welding it so it doesn't fall off :) |
11 | weld.Parent = player.Character.Head |
12 | weld.Part0 = player.Character.Head |
13 | weld.Part1 = player.Character.FakeHead |
14 | script.Parent.TextStrokeColor3 = Color3.new(170/255,0/255,0/255) |
15 | script.Parent.Text = "Show name" -- giving feedback |
