A few days ago, I came back to Roblox and I noticed this 'new' property at the Humanoid instance, I searched in the wiki and I found some info about it and how it's supposed to hide or not the name of the model that containts the Humanoid.

It seems a very practical update since it would save us a lot of work to make the fake-head workaround, however, I tried using it and I tested it on both client / server side, and it doesn't seem to be working. Now the question is:

Am I doing something work or is it just not working properly yet?

Maybe you can always see your own name. Try testing it with somebody else.

More like you can never see your name.

I tried with more players, I tried with OccludeAll and EnemyOcclude (With separate teams) and nothing worked.

I wanted to avoid that x_x
I guess I might as well wait for it to be fixed, it's just a minor detail I need for my on-going project.

I thought that NameOcclusion would only hide your name if you go off-site...

According to the wiki, it should affect every player's name.
"Sets whether that player can see other people's names above their heads or not."

That's odd. I tested it and it worked, but your camera had to be at a certain angle, which I don't think is very helpful...

Pretty weird. Maybe it only works online (I tried it using Tools -} Server and started two players).

Whenever I originally discovered NameOcclusion and wrote the wiki documentation on it, what I did was go into a server and test it. At first I had thought that it was just glitchy however it appears to have their name show up again depending on how far away from them you are.

@spec
My football game ( http://www.roblox.com/--place?id=3228090 ) got big and made it to first page. Then some guy from LMaD thought it would be funny to steal my account and transfer money from it ( he stole over 93,000 tickets and 5,000 robux!! ) When he was stealing it, I was still online and struggling to keep it but he kept logging me out. He had changed the e - m@|l of the account and I kept trying to change it back however he eventually got me kicked out and I couldn't verify back in. After a month or so went by, he bought BC and I got a bunch of spam messages about a pa$$ change on that account in my personal e - m@|l, then I realized that I couldn't verify back in because I had changed it to my other e - m@|l. So I got my account back, free BC and everything was back to normal for about 3 days. Then he reported me saying I hacked and now SDuke524 is perma-banned. -_-

That's a real shame /: I hate how people like that exists. And I'm aware you worked really hard in your football game. Did you try talking to Sorcus to help you?

I'll probably ask one of the wiki moderators sooner or later to get it back. However, I do kind of like the idea of starting over and not having 100+ messages a day to go through. Also telamon was interested in this reference page that I was making : http://wiki.roblox.com/index.php/Algorithms

So that could be a plus.

That's good, I hope can you get your account back. By the way, that article about algorithms seems pretty interesting, and I'm sure it will be a big help for lots of users.

Look it up. That's the main point of asking those questions, so we don't have to explain it to you later. You can learn the wiki markup at mediawiki.org

@SpectrumW
Thank you.

The proper functions of names occlusions is thus:
OccludeAll means that everyone's name except yours disappears from your screen.

EnemyOcclusion means that any player whose NOT on YOUR team color will not have their name show up on screen. Not too sure how it affects neutral players but I'd assume that their names wouldn't show up.
