The Nameplate (also Nametag or Name Badge) can commonly be found above a user, nameplates contain a contact link to the user's profile.
Nameplate Authenticity
Nameplates can be edited in game, by users.
You can disable custom Nameplates with the Allow Custom Nameplates button on the home page of your dashboard.
Parts Of A Nameplate
Quite a bit of components make up a nameplate, including its functionality. Here are a few of these components and what they do:
- TextRenderer: This is the text itself, showing on the nameplate from this component.
- TextUnlitMaterial: The material used to show the text.
- BoxCollider: This is used to help the ContactLink be clickable.
- BoundingBoxDriver: Used to make the BoxCollider size correctly to the nameplate's text.
- ContactLink: This allows users to click on a nameplate, and it opens the Dash Menu to the Contacts Menu of that user.
- AvatarNameTagAssigner: This is used to link the text, userID, ContactLink, and colors together for this name tag.
- AvatarNameplateVisibilityDriver: This is used to respect other user's nameplate visibility settings.
- LookAtUser: This makes the nameplate have the billboarding effect, always facing the local user.
- PositionAtUser: This makes the nameplate always be at a position where the target user is (ex. your name plate will always be where your at).
