Title, trying to make a custom name tag, but I'm not sure what the name of that sort of gui is called.

BillboardGui works fine, but it overlays parts and changes size as distance changes. I'm trying to find a property that can stop this, but I don't think there is one.

If you size the billboardGui with scale instead of offset it won't get bigger when distance changes. You can also toggle AlwaysOnTop if it causes problems being ontop of parts.

First, create a BillboardGui with a Size of {4,0},{1,0} (or somewhere around there, feel free to experiment)

Next, create a Frame within the BillboardGui. You want to set the size to {1,0},{1,0}.

Within that Frame, create a TextLabel. Set the size to {1,0},{1,0}. In addition to this, check TextScaled. This should give you a good start and you can customize from there. With this method, the text gets smaller as you scroll up.
