Similar to how weapon ammo was displayed on the weapons in Doom 3: So far, this seems to be the only thing remotely similar to what I'm looking for: AUM Volume 38 - Code Snippets - Editable text This creates text in your 3d level using particles Before I delve into this script, which seems very complex to me, I am wondering if I am maybe just missing something. This seems like something that should not be that difficult, I think. Does anyone know if there is an easier way to do this? See my games here: https://www.indiedb.com/company/michael-klaus-schmidt
