What 3D text? Do you mean dxDrawText?

Meybe, check the movie in 2:24.

I guess you meant dxDrawText. You can draw the text in any place. Like race resource, it draws the name of vehicle at the place of pickups.

All you need to do is know your position in 3D (x, y and z) and use getScreenFromWorldPosition to know where to draw the text.

Huh .. it's sounds really easy, but can you paste a code for example? .. I will be grateful.

This example will draw "SOME TEXT" at the center of San Andreas (it's the place where haystack resource spawns you, if you didn't know):

addEventHandler( "onClientRender", getRootElement(),
function( )
local x, y = getScreenFromWorldPosition( 0, 0, 3 );
if x then
dxDrawText( "SOME TEXT", x, y ); 
end
end
)

O .. thanks a lot. .

dxDrawText( "SOME TEXT", x, y ); 
end
end
)

By some reason it doesn't work for me

I see nothing while in the position 0, 0, 3 or around.

have you use the example client side so onClientRender is only avaible on client side

Oh crap.
