How do I make the players nametag appear on mouse hover?
I want the players name tag to appear when I hover my mouse on the player. But I'm not sure how to start, can someone help?
This is what I got for objects, is there a way to tweak it for players?
local Player = game:GetService("Players").LocalPlayer -- Get the player
local Mouse = Player:GetMouse() -- Get the player's mouse
-- Just creating a name tag for this example. This is assuming the script is inside a ScreenGui that's in the PlayerGui.
local Tag = Instance.new("TextLabel",script.Parent)
Tag.Text = ""
Tag.Visible = false
Tag.TextColor3 = Color3.new(1,1,1)
Tag.Font = "ArialBold"
Tag.FontSize = "Size18"
Tag.BackgroundColor3 = Color3.new(0,0,0)
Tag.BackgroundTransparency = 0.5
Tag.TextXAlignment = "Left"
-- Connect the "Move" event to the mouse
Mouse.Move:connect(function()
local Target = Mouse.Target -- Get the object the mouse is hovering over
if Target then -- Make sure the target exists
-- Update the information when a target exists
Tag.Text = Target.Name
Tag.Size = UDim2.new(0,Tag.TextBounds.X,0,20) -- TextBounds.X will make the tag be as long as the text, giving it a more complimenting appearance
Tag.Visible = true
-- If no target exists, then...
else
-- Hide the tag
Tag.Visible = false
end
-- Update the tag's position with the mouse
Tag.Position = UDim2.new(0,Mouse.X-Tag.AbsoluteSize.X,0,Mouse.Y-Tag.AbsoluteSize.Y)
end)

I actually wrote code for something like this a little while back. This is actually using a selection box. whenever it finds a humanoid within your mouse.Target, it'll parent that slectionbox to that character(Local only, so only the player who put their mouse over it will see it). There for if you connected this up with you 'Tag' gui, only youwill see their nametag pop up.
-- Get Service --
local RunService = game:GetService('RunService')
local Players = game:GetService('Players')
-- calling --
local player = Players.LocalPlayer
local mouse = player:GetMouse()
-- Creating --
local Selection = Instance.new('SelectionBox')
local Selected = nil
RunService.RenderStepped:Connect(function()
local target = mouse.Target
if target then
local humanoid = target.Parent:FindFirstChild('Humanoid') or target.Parent.Parent:FindFirstChild('Humanoid')
if humanoid then
if Selection.Adornee ~= humanoid.Parent then
Selected = humanoid.Parent
Selection.Parent = humanoid.Parent
Selection.Adornee = humanoid.Parent
end
else
if Selection.Adornee ~= nil then
Selected = nil
Selection.Parent = nil
Selection.Adornee = nil
end
end
end
end)
