BillboardGui won't insert into player?
I wanted the player to have a billboardgui into the player when they join. I can't seem to put one in
01 | function name(player) |
02 | local p = player |
03 | local head = p.Character:WaitForChild("Head") |
04 | local n = Instance.new("BillboardGui",head) |
05 | local text = Instance.new("TextLabel",n) |
06 | n.Size = UDim2.new(10,0,1,0) |
07 | n.StudsOffset = Vector3.new(0,4,0) |
08 | n.Name = "Display" |
09 | text.Name = "Output" |
10 | text.Size = UDim2.new(1,0,2,0) |
11 | text.BackgroundTransparency = 1 |
12 | text.Text = p.Name |
13 | text.TextStrokeTransparency = 0 |
14 | text.TextTransparency = 0 |
15 | text.TextColor3 = Color3.new(255,255,255) |
16 | text.TextStrokeColor3 = Color3.new(0,0,0) |
17 | end |
18 | game.Players.ChildAdded:connect(name) |

Okay, your problem was Character was returning nil. Unfortunately, I couldn't find a way to make it work. Instead I simply made a value that finds the characters name in workspace.
Code:
01 | local playername |
02 |
03 | game:GetService("Players").PlayerAdded:connect(function(player) |
04 | playername = player.Name |
05 | local head = game.workspace:WaitForChild(playername):WaitForChild("Head") |
06 | local n = Instance.new("BillboardGui", head) |
07 | local text = Instance.new("TextLabel", n) |
08 | n.Size = UDim2.new(10,0,1,0) |
09 | n.StudsOffset = Vector3.new(0,4,0) |
10 | n.Name = "Display" |
11 | text.Name = "Output" |
12 | text.Size = UDim2.new(1,0,2,0) |
13 | text.BackgroundTransparency = 1 |
14 | text.Text = player.Name |
15 | text.TextStrokeTransparency = 0 |
16 | text.TextTransparency = 0 |
17 | text.TextColor3 = Color3.new(255,255,255) |
18 | text.TextStrokeColor3 = Color3.new(0,0,0) |
19 | end) |
This works just as well, except it adds 1 line of code to it.
