how to create a dx text at a GTA position like the x,y,z value could someone help me? never tried it before dont even know which functions to use

[Castillo]

I Think with this function: getScreenFromWorldPosition you can get it to work.

local x = 4985 
local y = -3575 
local z = 9 
addEventHandler("onClientRender",getRootElement(), 
function() 
    local px,py,pz = getElementPosition(getLocalPlayer()) 
    local distance = getDistanceBetweenPoints3D ( x,y,z,px,py,pz ) 
    if distance <= 150 then 
        local sx,sy = getScreenFromWorldPosition ( x, y, z+0.95, 0.06 ) 
        if not sx then return end 
        local scale = 1/(0.3 * (distance / 150)) 
        dxDrawText ( "HERE'S YOUR TEXT", sx, sy - 30, sx, sy - 30, tocolor(255,155,0,200), math.min ( 0.4*(150/distance)*1.4,4), "default", "center", "bottom", false, false, false ) 
    end 
end 
)

thanks Qais may use this in the future

local x = 4985 
local y = -3575 
local z = 9 
addEventHandler("onClientRender",getRootElement(), 
function() 
    local px,py,pz = getElementPosition(getLocalPlayer()) 
    local distance = getDistanceBetweenPoints3D ( x,y,z,px,py,pz ) 
    if distance <= 150 then 
        local sx,sy = getScreenFromWorldPosition ( x, y, z+0.95, 0.06 ) 
        if not sx then return end 
        local scale = 1/(0.3 * (distance / 150)) 
        dxDrawText ( "HERE'S YOUR TEXT", sx, sy - 30, sx, sy - 30, tocolor(255,155,0,200), math.min ( 0.4*(150/distance)*1.4,4), "default", "center", "bottom", false, false, false ) 
    end 
end 
) 

thank you for the example
