As the title description says, I need to know how I can create digits above a specific units head. I tried to change the x and y coordinate with something like "my.pos_x or player.pos_x" and so on, but I really don't have a clue how I can define the top of the unit.

My code:


Any help is highly appreciated

@lukas unrelated?

You are looking for vec_to_screen:

vec_set(temp,vector(player.x,player.y,player.z+player.max_z+30));
if(vec_to_screen(temp,camera)) {
set(player_life_pan,VISIBLE);
player_life_pan.pos_x = temp.x;
player_life_pan.pos_y = temp.y;
}
else { reset(player_life_pan,VISIBLE); }

Then the digits element should have position values close to zero:
digits(-30, 0, 5, "Arial#50b", 1, player_life);

Thanks for all your help, it works perfectly with just a bit coordinate tweaking. I really have to use more Vectors...still got problems with them.

//SOLVED

Yeah, sorry, I didn't read h34dl4g's psot carefully enough, so I thought he wanted to put the digits above other 2D elements.
