3D Names in PED

[Gongas]

How i can put names in PED head? for example "Mechanic", can someone tell me how i can do it?

[Castillo]

Use dx drawing functions.

sx,sy = guiGetScreenSize() 
textsToDraw = {}

        for a,b in pairs(textsToDraw) do

            scx,scy = getScreenFromWorldPosition (x,y,z) 
            camX,camY,camZ = getCameraMatrix() 
            if scx and scy and getDistanceBetweenPoints3D(camX,camY,camZ,x,y,z+5) <= maxrange then

i taked the script then i edited "textsToDraw" but the script dont maked the Text what i have to put more? and sorry for the double posting i am realy annoying whit this script help plz

[CaptainZ.]

Just use my code and change position...

[Gongas]

"add3DText( 1177.9,-1328.4,15.3, "Test", 6, 183, 248 )" of this?

[CaptainZ.]

Yes, copypaste it if you want more texts (put them below)

[Gongas]

well i maked that but the text isnt in ped head , what i make?

[][sojn][]

use this

attachElements 

[Castillo]

Is that some sort of joke? how would he attach a dx text to an element with that function?

[][sojn][]

Example incomplete

function sojn() 
    local x,y,z=getElementPosition(sam) 
    local X,Y=getScreenFromWorldPosition(x,y,z) 
    local px,py,pz=getElementPosition(getLocalPlayer()) 
    local dystans=getDistanceBetweenPoints3D(x,y,z,px,py,pz) 
    if dystans < distance then 
    dxDrawText(getPlayerName(sam) .. " ( " .. getPlayerName(sam) .. " )",X,Y) 
    end 

solidsnake

What's wrong with this??

[xXMADEXx]

"distance" isn't defined anywhere.

[CaptainZ.]

well i maked that but the text isnt in ped head , what i make?

Are you sure about the positions of text?

For me, it works perfectly

[K4stic]

"distance" isn't defined anywhere.

and what you think is this?

maxrange = 20

[Perfect]

"distance" isn't defined anywhere.

and what you think is this?

maxrange = 20

I think he is talking about this post.

Example incomplete

function sojn() 
    local x,y,z=getElementPosition(sam) 
    local X,Y=getScreenFromWorldPosition(x,y,z) 
    local px,py,pz=getElementPosition(getLocalPlayer()) 
    local dystans=getDistanceBetweenPoints3D(x,y,z,px,py,pz)

Whats wrong on this?

[Perfect]

What Debugscript Says ?

and did you put it client side or server ?

[Gongas]

What Debugscript Says ?

and did you put it client side or server ?

Debugscript says: Error: attempt to call globa 'guiGetScreenSize' ( a nil value)

and the script i just maked this to meta :

    "WoRMs" description="3D Text" version="1.0" type="script" /> 
    

[iPrestege]

Try this :

    "WoRMs" description="3D Text" version="1.0" type="script" /> 
      

[Gongas]

Try this :

    "WoRMs" description="3D Text" version="1.0" type="script" /> 
      

Worked thx since i am new on scripting i want learn to be good 1 day

[iPrestege]

You're Welcome,And i just fix the meta file (:

[manve1]

I tested CaptainZ. code and i found few errors on it, so i fixed it and it works perfectly
