Hello,
Does someone know how to put text above an characters head ?
It is for a 1st. person RPG so you dont have to see the text if you are far away from entity, only in a certain range.
Thnx in advance,

vec_set(temp,my.x);
if(vec_dist(me.x, player.x)<1000 && vec_to_screen(temp,camera)!=NULL){
draw_text("Here I am!", temp.x, temp.y-20, vector(200,200,200));
}
where... me = the entity player = the player (you)

draw_text("Here I am!", temp.x, temp.y-20, vector(200,200,200));
}
where... me = the entity player = the player (you) this gives multiply errors  First that temp isn't declared but i know how to fix that and after that temp.x is not a member of a function >.< And every model in the game has its own name (+ sub name like merchant etc. etc.) But is that enought with this ? i think it needs a scan aswell ? Also i want to try multiplayer with it so you can see other there names that are set with -name

Also i want to try multiplayer with it so you can... I know it may sound rude to you but... ...making a MP game you should at least be able to understand these three lines of code and adapt it to your needs...

Hehe Thnx :P
But can't i just place it like a bitmap ? above an entity ?
Like a healthbar?
The only thing is i do healthbar's as a model not a draw_square
I know that i must get the vertex of my player but aswell as all the others.
convert it to screen coordinats.
And then ? a panel that moves along with the characters ? doesn't that slow's the engine very much if you got like hmm 15 entity in your range and and all the panels move ?
Isn't there a way to place a text above a char and pan it with your cam and moves on the models xyz ? or must it be done with panels ?

mercuryus posted that using c-script. To change it to lite-c put...
VECTOR* temp[3]; at the beginning of the script. You might like a challenge but seriously multiplayer isn't something for beginners.
