📎 message.txt

#

very large 😦

#

right thats the main script

#

local event = game.ReplicatedStorage.NameTagEvent
local players = game.Players

event.OnServerEvent:Connect(function(player)
    local rarityLabel = player.PlayerGui.ScreenGui:WaitForChild("RarityLabel")
    local character = player.Character or player.CharacterAdded:Wait()
    print("nametag blah")
    local Tag = nameTag:Clone()
    Tag.RarityName.Text = rarityLabel.Text
    Tag.Parent = character.Head
end)```

#

local player = game.Players.LocalPlayer
local equipButton = player.PlayerGui.ScreenGui.equipButton

equipButton.MouseButton1Click:Connect(function()
    event:FireServer()
    print("event fired")
end)```

frigid wraith Nov 26, 2024, 9:24 PM

#

ikr

#

i left making this game for a while cuz literally no one knew what was wrong :/

#

ill send a vid

lunar elm Nov 26, 2024, 9:25 PM

#

why are all the table items just bangers font

#

you kinda have to set the tags adornee

#

tag.adornee = character.head

frigid wraith Nov 26, 2024, 9:26 PM

#

right what does that do

#

lunar elm Nov 26, 2024, 9:27 PM

#

ok so

#

you have to set adornee

#

for it to appear

#

above your head

frigid wraith Nov 26, 2024, 9:27 PM

#

lunar elm Nov 26, 2024, 9:27 PM

#

#

of billboardgui

frigid wraith Nov 26, 2024, 9:27 PM

frigid wraith Nov 26, 2024, 9:27 PM

#

ok thanks

lunar elm Nov 26, 2024, 9:27 PM

#

Tag.Adornee = character.Head

frigid wraith Nov 26, 2024, 9:29 PM

#

?

#

or no

#

sry if its wrong

#

im thick as mince

#

does it go w the variables

lunar elm Nov 26, 2024, 9:30 PM

#

put it below tag.rarityname.text

#

Tag.Adornee

#

not nameTag

frigid wraith Nov 26, 2024, 9:30 PM

#

right

#

still nothing

spiral cove Nov 26, 2024, 9:32 PM

#

Offset?

frigid wraith Nov 26, 2024, 9:32 PM

#

frigid wraith Nov 26, 2024, 9:32 PM

spiral cove Offset?

dunno

lunar elm Nov 26, 2024, 9:32 PM

#

interesting

frigid wraith Nov 26, 2024, 9:32 PM

#

very

lunar elm Nov 26, 2024, 9:33 PM

#

is it printing anything

frigid wraith Nov 26, 2024, 9:33 PM

#

yeah

lunar elm Nov 26, 2024, 9:33 PM

#

ah i see what might be causing it

spiral cove Nov 26, 2024, 9:33 PM

#

Wait

lunar elm Nov 26, 2024, 9:33 PM

#

if the changes in playergui are made locally, the server can't see them

frigid wraith Nov 26, 2024, 9:33 PM

#

lunar elm Nov 26, 2024, 9:33 PM

#

therefore he doesn't know what raritylabel is

spiral cove Nov 26, 2024, 9:33 PM

#

Do you even use billboardGUI?

frigid wraith Nov 26, 2024, 9:33 PM

#

yea

lime trailBOT Nov 26, 2024, 9:33 PM

studio ** You are now Level 11! ** studio

And a text label that is decendant of that?

lunar elm Nov 26, 2024, 9:33 PM

#

frigid wraith yea

is it printing "nametag blah"

frigid wraith Nov 26, 2024, 9:34 PM

frigid wraith

is it a billboard gui

frigid wraith Nov 26, 2024, 9:35 PM

#

no 😦

lunar elm Nov 26, 2024, 9:35 PM

#

then make it one

frigid wraith Nov 26, 2024, 9:35 PM

#

alr

spiral cove Nov 26, 2024, 9:35 PM

#

Because if thats the case your gonna have to rearrange everything

lunar elm Nov 26, 2024, 9:35 PM

#

make one
set the size to something like 6, 0, 1.2, 0

frigid wraith Nov 26, 2024, 9:36 PM

#

chuck it into starter gui?

lunar elm Nov 26, 2024, 9:36 PM

#

preferably not

#

place it in a script in serverscriptservice

frigid wraith Nov 26, 2024, 9:36 PM

#

wait

#

ive not worked on this in ages my god

spiral cove Nov 26, 2024, 9:37 PM

#

spiral cove Because if thats the case your gonna have to rearrange everything

Or maybe it works locally, but if its like a server thing where everyone can see the tag then it should be handled with billboardgui attached to the player's character head by the server

frigid wraith Nov 26, 2024, 9:37 PM

#

spiral cove Nov 26, 2024, 9:37 PM

#

Hm

#

Let me get on my laptop

#

bro

frigid wraith Nov 26, 2024, 9:48 PM

#

?

#

im thick

#

what is it

spiral cove Nov 26, 2024, 9:48 PM

#

local event = game.ReplicatedStorage.NameTagEvent
local player = game.Players.LocalPlayer
local equipButton = player.PlayerGui.ScreenGui.equipButton

equipButton.MouseButton1Click:Connect(function()
    event:FireServer(equipButton.Text)
    print("event fired")
end)

local nameTag = script:WaitForChild("NameTag") -- Is this a billboardGUI?
local RS = game:GetService("ReplicatedService")
local event = RS:WaitForChild("NameTagEvent")
local players = game:GetService("Players")

event.OnServerEvent:Connect(function(player, RarityLabelText)
    local character = player.Character or player.CharacterAdded:Wait()
    print("nametag blah")
    if character:FindFirstChild("NameTag") then
        character:WaitForChild("NameTag"):Destroy()
    end
    local Tag = nameTag:Clone()
    Tag.RarityName.Text = RarityLabelText
    Tag.Parent = character.Head
end)

#

idk if this will work since i dont know how you arranged your things

#

but this could help you get on right track

frigid wraith Nov 26, 2024, 9:49 PM

#

spiral cove idk if this will work since i dont know how you arranged your things

me neither

#

i think its smth to do w the main script

#

as there was already a billboard gui but only u could see and not other players but i made that transparent and tried to remake one

spiral cove Nov 26, 2024, 9:52 PM

#

Was the billboard gui created with a localscript?

frigid wraith Nov 26, 2024, 9:53 PM

#

ik whats up

#

so

#

it was a text label

#

when i remade it i put it in another place

#

i made this game like a month ago thats why ive forgotten everything

#

for some reason the roll gui isnt appearing now

spiral cove Nov 26, 2024, 9:56 PM

#

idk what to say, good luck with cleaning everything

frigid wraith Nov 26, 2024, 9:57 PM

#

thank u

#

hopefully this will work

#

im changing some things up

spiral cove Nov 26, 2024, 9:57 PM

#

i think you know how to fix the issue, just make sure that all definitions in the scripts are correct, check the console for errors

frigid wraith Nov 26, 2024, 10:00 PM

#

for some reason there is so many errors that werent happening b4

#

im so confused bro

spiral cove Nov 26, 2024, 10:02 PM

#

screenshot?

frigid wraith Nov 26, 2024, 10:03 PM

#

local rarityLabel = Instance.new("BillboardGui")
rarityLabel.Name = "RarityLabel"
rarityLabel.BackgroundTransparency = 1
rarityLabel.Size = UDim2.new(0, 400, 0, 200)

cant even

#

the scrips to big

#

📎 message.txt

#

#

this part btw

#

wait

spiral cove Nov 26, 2024, 10:05 PM

#

nonono

#

billboardgui doesnt have label properties

#

make a textlabel with billboardgui as parent

#

just change instance.new to "TextLabel"

frigid wraith Nov 26, 2024, 10:06 PM

#

its not even that part

#

wait

#

#

i think its there?

#

current rarity gui

spiral cove Nov 26, 2024, 10:08 PM

#

why is textLabel visible false?

frigid wraith Nov 26, 2024, 10:08 PM

#

frigid wraith current rarity gui

its not that

#

text label should be a bill boar gui

#

should i make current rarity gui text label?

spiral cove Nov 26, 2024, 10:09 PM

#

your making me confused fr

#

do you want to let everyone see the text?

#

or only the local player?

frigid wraith Nov 26, 2024, 10:10 PM

#

spiral cove do you want to let everyone see the text?

everyone

#

im confused rn

spiral cove Nov 26, 2024, 10:10 PM

#

then everything of that needs to be handled with a serverscript

frigid wraith Nov 26, 2024, 10:10 PM

#

i think something is something when its another thing

spiral cove Nov 26, 2024, 10:11 PM

#

localscript = client only
serverscript = Server = everyone can see

#

you need to communicate with the server from the client

frigid wraith Nov 26, 2024, 10:11 PM

#

what should i do?

spiral cove Nov 26, 2024, 10:11 PM

#

remoteevent

#

with arguments

frigid wraith Nov 26, 2024, 10:12 PM

#

#

idek at this point

spiral cove Nov 26, 2024, 10:16 PM

#

local player = Players.Localplayer
local Data = {
  currentRarityGui = currentRarityGui
  
}
event:FireServer(player, "EquipLabel", Data)

#


local function updateLabel(player, Data)
  local character = Workspace:WaitForChild(player.Name)
  print("nametag blah")
  -- create billboardGui or clone a template from ReplicatedService
  -- use Data.currentRarityGui to get the instance made from localscript

end

event.OnServerEvent:Connect(function(player, Arg, Data)
    if Arg == "EquipLabel" then
      updateLabel(player, Data)
    end
end)

#

see if you can use this

frigid wraith Nov 26, 2024, 10:20 PM

#

ok ty ty

frigid wraith Nov 26, 2024, 10:22 PM

#

spiral cove ```lua local function updateLabel(player, Data) local character = Workspace:W...

with this shall i just create my own variables for the event?

spiral cove Nov 26, 2024, 10:22 PM

#

yeah

frigid wraith Nov 26, 2024, 10:22 PM

#

alr

spiral cove Nov 26, 2024, 10:22 PM

#

But keep in mind that there are some flaws

frigid wraith Nov 26, 2024, 10:22 PM

#

same for the first one as well

frigid wraith Nov 26, 2024, 10:23 PM

#

spiral cove But keep in mind that there are some flaws

im not bothered as long as it works tbh

spiral cove Nov 26, 2024, 10:23 PM

#

Client should not be able to decide everything, makes it exposed to exploiters making false event executions

#

example being if the rolled item is decided by client and sent to the server as "ItemRewarded" = LegendaryItem then it can easily be abused by exploiters

frigid wraith Nov 26, 2024, 10:24 PM

#

mm

spiral cove Nov 26, 2024, 10:25 PM

#

Also if you are using a currency to roll items, make sure that the currency is handled on the server and that if the player sends a remote event, make sure they could afford it and that their currency was decreased = to the cost

#

if that makes sense

frigid wraith Nov 26, 2024, 10:26 PM

#

what is replicated service?

spiral cove Nov 26, 2024, 10:27 PM

#

example being:


local player = Players.Localplayer
local Data = {
  currentRarityGui = currentRarityGui,
  Rarity = "Legendary"
  
}
event:FireServer(player, "EquipLabel", Data)

local function updateLabel(player, Data)
  local character = Workspace:WaitForChild(player.Name)
  print("nametag blah")
  nametag.text = Data.Rarity
  -- create billboardGui or clone a template from ReplicatedService
  -- use Data.currentRarityGui to get the instance made from localscript

end

event.OnServerEvent:Connect(function(player, Arg, Data)
    if Arg == "EquipLabel" then
      updateLabel(player, Data)
    end
end)

since the rarity was decided by the localscript, it can be abused by exploiters

frigid wraith Nov 26, 2024, 10:28 PM

#

ok

spiral cove Nov 26, 2024, 10:28 PM

#

frigid wraith what is replicated service?

replicatedStorage*

frigid wraith Nov 26, 2024, 10:28 PM

#

how should i reference this

#

ahh ok

#

just checking incase

spiral cove Nov 26, 2024, 10:28 PM

#

its an error since its not defined yet

frigid wraith Nov 26, 2024, 10:28 PM

#

how would i define it

spiral cove Nov 26, 2024, 10:29 PM

#

local currentRarityGui =

frigid wraith Nov 26, 2024, 10:29 PM

#

would that not change the first bit

#

or am i stupid

spiral cove Nov 26, 2024, 10:29 PM

#

you either make a template and put it in ReplicatedStorage and find it there

#

or create it in the localscript

#

like how you did it

#

do

#


local currentRarityGui = Instance.New("BillboardGui")
local textLabel = Instance.New("TextLabel")
textLabel.Parent = currentRarityGui

#

and in the serverscript do

frigid wraith Nov 26, 2024, 10:32 PM

#

ok right

#

ty

spiral cove Nov 26, 2024, 10:32 PM

#

Data.currentRarityGui.Parent = character.HumanoidRootPart

frigid wraith Nov 26, 2024, 10:32 PM

#

im too confused tn lol

spiral cove Nov 26, 2024, 10:32 PM

#

and change its offset to 4 on the Y axis

frigid wraith Nov 26, 2024, 10:33 PM

#

#

#

that right?

spiral cove Nov 26, 2024, 10:34 PM

#

oh my bad

#

its .new

#

not .New

#

and remove player.Character

#

since you defined the character

#

only do character.HumanoidRootPart

frigid wraith Nov 26, 2024, 10:35 PM

#

#

spiral cove Nov 26, 2024, 10:36 PM

#

yeah seems right

frigid wraith Nov 26, 2024, 10:36 PM

#

dk wat that A is doing there

spiral cove Nov 26, 2024, 10:36 PM

#

does it work?

frigid wraith Nov 26, 2024, 10:36 PM

#

ill test

spiral cove Nov 26, 2024, 10:37 PM

#

frigid wraith dk wat that A is doing there

the Arg?

frigid wraith Nov 26, 2024, 10:37 PM

#

no

#

at the end

spiral cove Nov 26, 2024, 10:37 PM

#

oh

frigid wraith Nov 26, 2024, 10:37 PM

#

what even is arg?

spiral cove Nov 26, 2024, 10:37 PM

#

Argument

frigid wraith Nov 26, 2024, 10:37 PM

#

ahh o

#

ok

#

cool

#

ty

#

still no 😦

spiral cove Nov 26, 2024, 10:38 PM

#

I know why

frigid wraith Nov 26, 2024, 10:38 PM

#

"equipbutton"?

#

i changed that

#

is it smth else?

spiral cove Nov 26, 2024, 10:41 PM

#

try this instead


local player = Players.Localplayer
local Data = {}
event:FireServer(player, "EquipLabel", Data)

local function updateLabel(player, Data)
  local character = Workspace:WaitForChild(player.Name)
  print("nametag blah")
  local BillboardGui = Instance.new("BillboardGui")
  local textLabel = Instance.new("TextLabel")
  textLabel.Parent = BillboardGui
  BillboardGui = character.HumanoidRootPart
  -- create billboardGui or clone a template from ReplicatedService
 

end

event.OnServerEvent:Connect(function(player, Arg, Data)
    if Arg == "EquipLabel" then
      updateLabel(player, Data)
    end
end)

#

and if its on fresh scripts without the clickEvent just do wait(1) at the start of the local script to let the game load in

frigid wraith Nov 26, 2024, 10:42 PM

#

do i put anything in data

spiral cove Nov 26, 2024, 10:42 PM

#

no keep it empty

#

if you need to pass values or instances then use it

frigid wraith Nov 26, 2024, 10:42 PM

#

alr

spiral cove Nov 26, 2024, 10:43 PM

#

you could do Data = {
Arg = "EquipLabel
}

and in serverscript do

if Data.Arg == "EquipLabel" then

#

and remove Arg from the serverscript

#

and remove "EquipLabel" from the fireServer

#

Since Data is a table to pass multiple values

#

you dont really need to put a lot in arguments

frigid wraith Nov 26, 2024, 10:44 PM

#

#

that all good?

spiral cove Nov 26, 2024, 10:44 PM

#

Yeah

#

Nice

#

That should work

frigid wraith Nov 26, 2024, 10:44 PM

#

alr

spiral cove Nov 26, 2024, 10:44 PM

#

do wait(1)

#

at the start of local script

frigid wraith Nov 26, 2024, 10:45 PM

#

?

spiral cove Nov 26, 2024, 10:45 PM

#

and check console if it prints

#

typo

frigid wraith Nov 26, 2024, 10:46 PM

#

doesnt print

spiral cove Nov 26, 2024, 10:46 PM

did you fix the misspell

frigid wraith Nov 26, 2024, 10:46 PM

#

its not misspelle

spiral cove Nov 26, 2024, 10:46 PM

#

game.Players.LocalPlayer

it is tho

frigid wraith Nov 26, 2024, 10:46 PM

or

#

oh

spiral cove Nov 26, 2024, 10:47 PM

#

frigid wraith Nov 26, 2024, 10:47 PM

#

#

studio ** You are now Level 8! ** studio

spiral cove Nov 26, 2024, 10:47 PM

#

line

#

and see if it is able to communicate with the server

#

figure out where the script stops

frigid wraith Nov 26, 2024, 10:48 PM

#

that prints

spiral cove Nov 26, 2024, 10:48 PM

#

also do local event = game.ReplicatedStorage:WaitForChild("NameTagEvent")

spiral cove Nov 26, 2024, 10:49 PM

#

frigid wraith

move the print above local character =

#

and see if the function is fired

frigid wraith Nov 26, 2024, 10:51 PM

#

that wouldnt work

#

as the variable is in the function and when ur refrencing the variable its outside the function

#

no?

#

spiral cove Nov 26, 2024, 10:52 PM

#

no

#

the event variable needs to be above the function

frigid wraith Nov 26, 2024, 10:52 PM

#

yea

spiral cove Nov 26, 2024, 10:53 PM

#

the print should be at the start of the function

frigid wraith Nov 26, 2024, 10:53 PM

BillboardGui.Size = UDim2.new(0.4,0,0.2,0)
BillboardGui.StudsOffset = Vector3.new(0,4,0)
textLabel.Size = UDim2.new(1,0,1,0)

#

there u go

frigid wraith Nov 26, 2024, 11:10 PM

#

there is a label but the text isnt changing

#

spiral cove Nov 26, 2024, 11:10 PM

#

yeah

#

ik

#

you need to assign the label text

#

you could do that however you want

#

like

#

from

Localscript
Data = {
labelText = "NewText"
}

Serverscript:
textLabel.Text = Data.labelText

#

but yeah

#

now its visible for everyone

#

you should be on the right path

frigid wraith Nov 26, 2024, 11:12 PM

spiral cove Nov 26, 2024, 11:12 PM

#

no

frigid wraith Nov 26, 2024, 11:12 PM

#

spiral cove Nov 26, 2024, 11:12 PM

#

wait

#

local Data = {
text = "NewText"
}

#

in the client script

#

and in the serverscript

#

do

#


textLabel.Text = Data.text

frigid wraith Nov 26, 2024, 11:14 PM

#

spiral cove Nov 26, 2024, 11:14 PM

#

no

#

dont have

#

a new table

#

in the serverscript

#

why are you doing that 😭

frigid wraith Nov 26, 2024, 11:14 PM

#

ooh wait

#

spiral cove Nov 26, 2024, 11:15 PM

#

YES!

frigid wraith Nov 26, 2024, 11:15 PM

#

spiral cove Nov 26, 2024, 11:15 PM

#

YES!!!

#

GOD hahahah

#

does it work right?

frigid wraith Nov 26, 2024, 11:15 PM

#

ye

#

what now

spiral cove Nov 26, 2024, 11:16 PM

#

you figure it out, you should have everything you need to go forward from here, use the table to pass information and let the server execute it

frigid wraith Nov 26, 2024, 11:16 PM

#

right tysm

spiral cove Nov 26, 2024, 11:16 PM

#

no problem

frigid wraith Nov 26, 2024, 11:17 PM

#

should i just do like game.players.localplayer.playergui.textlabel.text = textlabel.text?

spiral cove Nov 26, 2024, 11:17 PM

#

for the data table?

#

table works like this

(Variable)Name = Variable(Value)

When you want the value you refer to the name, just like how you refer to game.Players.Localplayer everytime you type player since player is already defined game.Players.Localplayer

#

Table is used to keep variables organized

frigid wraith Nov 26, 2024, 11:19 PM

#

ye

spiral cove Nov 26, 2024, 11:20 PM

#


local Data = {
text = player.playerGui.textlabel.text

}

#

should work

#

if you already have that path existing

#

if it doesnt exist it will error

frigid wraith Nov 26, 2024, 11:22 PM

#

is there anyway i can reload it?

spiral cove Nov 26, 2024, 11:23 PM

#

yeah

#

just update the Data table before sending a new event to the server

#

and change the server function with this

#


local function createInstance(instance,parent)
    return Instance.new(instance,parent)
end

local function updateLabel(player, Data)
    local character = workspace:WaitForChild(player.Name)
    print("nametag blah")
    local BillboardGui
    local textLabel
    if character:WaitForChild("HumanoidRootPart"):FindFirstChild("BillboardGui") then
        BillboardGui = character.HumanoidRootPart.BillboardGui
        textLabel = BillboardGui.TextLabel
    else
        BillboardGui = createInstance("BillboardGui",character.HumanoidRootPart)
        textLabel = createInstance("TextLabel",BillboardGui)
    end
    BillboardGui.Size = UDim2.new(0.4,0,0.2,0)
    BillboardGui.StudsOffset = Vector3.new(0,4,0)
    textLabel.Size = UDim2.new(1,0,1,0) 
    textLabel.Text = Data.text
end

#

I made it a function to make a new instance since then you can do more with that later on if you want to

#

like

#

assigning properties etc

frigid wraith Nov 27, 2024, 6:58 AM

#

Ok tysm I’ll put that in

spiral cove Nov 27, 2024, 7:56 AM

#

Np

frigid wraith Nov 27, 2024, 3:59 PM

#

and if i want to change how it looks should i just change the font on the text label?

frigid wraith Nov 27, 2024, 4:03 PM

spiral cove ```lua local function createInstance(instance,parent) return Instance.new(i...

#

spiral cove Nov 27, 2024, 5:45 PM

#

Yeah

#

Looks good

frigid wraith Nov 27, 2024, 6:25 PM

#

spiral cove Looks good

#

any ideas?

spiral cove Nov 27, 2024, 8:15 PM

#

You need to update the data

#

Data = {
text = result
}

#

Then you send the remote event again after updating

#

Does that make sense?

frigid wraith Nov 27, 2024, 9:39 PM

#

Sorry not really

frigid wraith Nov 29, 2024, 3:34 PM

#

spiral cove Data = { text = result }
