Help Resource Ped Text

[Argom]

Hi, I found a resource on how to put a text in a ped, but I can't find a way to move the text, so that it is not on the waist but on the head.

The code is the following:

 

]]--

--[[CONFIGURACIONES DEL PED]]--
local ped_id = 285						-- La ID del skin [http://adf.ly/hMF9l]
local px, py, pz = 2492.12598, -1669.97876, 13.33595				-- La posicion y rotacion [http://adf.ly/hMFFZ]
local ped_rotation = 0					-- La posicion y rotacion [http://adf.ly/hMFFZ]
--[[CONFIGURACIONES DEL TEXTO -> PED]]--
local texto = "Texto del ped" 			-- El texto que tendra el ped
local texto_alcanze =  25 				-- Distancia de donde se vera el texto
local R, G, B = 255, 255, 255 			-- Color del texto [http://adf.ly/hMFT8] esta en blanco.
local Text_Opacidad = 255 				-- (DEFAULT: 255	[min: 0 - max: 255]) Es la opacidad osea lo trasparente
local fuente = "sans" 					-- El tipo de lectra esta: "default", ["default-bold", "clear", "arial", "sans", "pricedown", "bankgothic", "diploma", "beckett"]
local size = 2 							-- El tamaño del texto [DEFAULT: 2]

local rootElement = getRootElement() 
local NPC = createPed(ped_id, px, py, pz, ped_rotation)
local screenWidth, screenHeight = guiGetScreenSize()

function NPCnametag()
    local pedX,pedY,pedZ = getElementPosition(NPC)
    local sx,sy = getScreenFromWorldPosition (pedX,pedY,pedZ)
    local cameraX,cameraY,cameraZ = getCameraMatrix()
    if sx then 
        if getDistanceBetweenPoints3D(cameraX,cameraY,cameraZ,pedX,pedY,pedZ) <= texto_alcanze then 
            dxDrawText(texto,sx,sy,screenWidth, screenHeight,tocolor ( R, G, B, Text_Opacidad ), size,fuente)
        end
    end
end
 
function HandleTheRendering()
    addEventHandler("onClientRender",rootElement, NPCnametag)
end
addEventHandler("onClientResourceStart",rootElement, HandleTheRendering)

The text is drawn by finding where the ped is on your screen:

local pedX,pedY,pedZ = getElementPosition(NPC)
local sx,sy = getScreenFromWorldPosition (pedX,pedY,pedZ)
local cameraX,cameraY,cameraZ = getCameraMatrix()

Then drawing the text on that spot:

if sx then 
	if getDistanceBetweenPoints3D(cameraX,cameraY,cameraZ,pedX,pedY,pedZ) <= texto_alcanze then 
    	dxDrawText(texto,sx,sy,screenWidth, screenHeight,tocolor ( R, G, B, Text_Opacidad ), size,fuente)

So if you want to modify the position of the text, you can just add or subtract from those positions. For example:

dxDrawText(texto,sx - 80,sy - 80,screenWidth, screenHeight,tocolor ( R, G, B, Text_Opacidad ), size,fuente)

PS there's an option to add code when you're making a post instead of just pasting the raw-text (it's easier to make sense of).
