Hello,

I am creating one multiplayer game but I would like to know how I could add the name of player (user) in some part of avatar(model) dinamically (through one string)? this name of player will be to identify the player in the game.
Anyone has some suggestions?
Thanks

Oui, but not tested

Code:

---

function nameEntities(name)
{
   while(1)
   {
      vec_set(temp,my.x);
      temp.z += 480; // play with this man
      trace_mode = ignore_me+ignore_models+ignore_passents;
      if(trace(my.x, camera.x)==0)
      {
	 		vec_to_screen(temp, camera);
	 		
         draw_text(my.string1,temp.x,temp.y,vector(255,255,255));
      }
   wait(1);
   }
}

// in player action
my.string1 = "Player1";  
nameEntities(my.string1);

Break the string into letters , create models for every letter and check if the first letter is A , create the model of the letter A at the possition you want , then check the second letter and create the second letter.
If you have a picture(sprite) in the 3D world and you want the name of the player written in there use pixel drawing over a bmp image. Check in the manual for this.

PS.: Its hard to do theese two things if you are new to C-Script , so if you are , I suggest you try more simple ways , like a 'text' or draw_text command.
