how do i make a gui appear to my head then when i touch another player, it moves to his head?
so, what i'm trying to do is make a fun lil tag game but i can't figure out how to make a gui that says (it) over their head and when u touch another player it moves to their head, for better understanding
you got a (it) text over your head, i see a player, ima go over and tag him.. i tag him, the text goes from my head to his head.

Do you need help with making the gui or the script that gives the gui to another player? or both LawlR 182 — 6y

wouldn't the gui go into lighting or something? but the scripting part. A1exTatum 57 — 6y

For the script, when the player with the gui touches another player (use .Touched), change the gui's adornee to the other player's head. LawlR 182 — 6y

Use a BillboardGui and parent it to the player's character. LawlR 182 — 6y

so like script.Parent = game.Player.LocalPlayer.Character.Head? A1exTatum 57 — 6y

Assuming the gui is in a player's character-
01 | local Players = game:GetService("Players") |
02 | local Gui = script.Parent |
03 | local GuiOwner = Gui.Parent |
04 |
05 | local Torso = GuiOwner.Torso |
06 |
07 | wait(.5) -- Waits half a second so that the person can't tag back instantly. |
08 |
09 | Torso.Touched:Connect(function(hit) -- Happens when the torso gets touched. |
10 | if hit.Parent:FindFirstChild("Humanoid") then -- Checks if what the player touched has a humanoid. |
11 | if Players:FindFirstChild(hit.Parent.Name) then -- Checks if it's a player. |
12 | local NewGui = Gui:Clone() -- Clones the tag. |
13 | NewGui.Parent = hit.Parent -- Parents the new tag to the touched player. |
14 | NewGui.Adornee = hit.Parent.Head -- Puts the tag above the touched player's head. |
15 | Gui:Destroy() -- Destroys the tag above the old player. |
16 | end |
17 | end |
18 | end) |
when i join game, the gui doesn't appear over my head, trying to get it where who ever joins game first is it lol.
01 | local rs = game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage") |
02 | local Players = game:GetService("Players") |
03 | local Tagger = false |
04 | local Gui = rs:WaitForChild("Gui") -- Or where ever you have the gui |
05 |
06 | Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(plr) |
07 | if Tagger == false then |
08 | Tagger = true -- So it only happens for the first player |
09 | repeat |
10 | wait() |
11 | until plr.Character.Head -- Waits until the player's character is spawned and the head is found. |
12 | Gui.Parent = plr.Character |
13 | Gui.Adornee = plr.Character.Head |
14 | end |
15 | end) |
Haven't tested this out but it should work.

If you're using R15, change Torso to UpperTorso or LowerTorso. If that doesn't fix it then I'm not sure. LawlR 182 — 6y
