player added works for all player but me?
So I have a script that gives you a billboard gui label for a custom name, problem is, I, the creator of the game can't have a billboard above my head for some reason.. If I test in studio and create a new server there it works, but if I start a server normally outside studio it doesn't work, but for my friend it works. (We can both see his name, but we cant see my name)
here's my code but I doubt it has something to do with it
local billboardgui = game:GetService("ServerStorage"):WaitForChild("BillboardGui")
game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(player)
print('new player')
player.CharacterAdded:Connect(function(char)
print('cloned')
local clonedgui = billboardgui:Clone()
clonedgui.Parent = game.Workspace:WaitForChild(player.Name).Head
clonedgui.TextLabel.Text = player.Name
print('done')
--clonedgui.PlayerToHideFrom = player
--clonedgui.TextLabel.TextColor3 = Color3.fromRGB(231,206,12)
end)
end)

If this helped then please mark it as answered, I did not try it on studio cuz its kinda late rn and im too lazy ;-; SORRY!! If you have any further question you can just comment.
local billboardgui = game:GetService("ServerStorage"):WaitForChild("BillboardGui")
game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(player)
print('new player')
local char = player.Character or workspace.ChildAdded:Wait()
print('cloned')
local clonedgui = billboardgui:Clone()
clonedgui.Parent = char.Head --// You did player.Name, player name does not have a head, instead you have to make it 'char'
clonedgui.TextLabel.Text = player.Name
print('done')
--clonedgui.PlayerToHideFrom = player
--clonedgui.TextLabel.TextColor3 = Color3.fromRGB(231,206,12)
end)
end)

Found the problem.
clonedgui.Parent = game.Workspace:WaitForChild(player.Name).Head
It would find the first model in the workspace with the player name, but I already have a model with my name so I deleted that model and now it works
