Sir, this place is for helping to fix your script, not to give you the script. Make an attempt, and we will help you if it didn't work, and if you don't know how to script, learn first.

If you want a tutorial on how to do it, I know that AlvinBlox has made a good tutorial on making an overhead GUI, also explaining the process in what he has went through. Here is the link:

One thing that this isn't is a request site as people have already said, you have to at least try to make the script first before you come here and request for help.

hi bro

now, you can unserstand it?

game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(plr) --checks a player join
plr.CharacterAdded:connect(function(char) --checks the player got a character (the player is spawned)
local a = Instance.new("BillboardGui", char.Head) --makes a new "background" to the palyer's head
local aw = Instance.new("TextLabel", a) --makes the Label what can be seen overhead
aw.Text = plr.Name --renames the label the the player's name
aw.Size = UDim2.new(0, 200, 0, 50) --resizes the label cuz the basic size = 0
a.Size = UDim2.new(0, 200, 0, 50) --resizes the "background" cuz the basic size = 0
a.StudsOffset = Vector3.new(0, 5, 0) --repositions the label
aw.TextScaled = true --repositions the label's text
end) 
end)

I meant you can't just give someone a script and tell him "do you understand it?", this guy is new to scripting he doesn't know much, please explain bit by bit what you did, like what's the player added event why are you using Instance.new ect :)
