[HELP] dxText above player's head

[HeK]

Hello there forum,

I'd like to know how i could put some text above a player's head?

I'm working on a damage display script, and i'd like to have it displayed above the player that's getting shot.

local screenWidth, screenHeight = guiGetScreenSize ( ) 
  
kill = {} 
  
addEventHandler("onClientPedDamage",root, 
    function ( attaker, weapon) 
        local lostHealth = "-" .. math.ceil(getElementHealth(source)) 
        if ( attaker and attaker == localPlayer ) then 
            if ( kill[localPlayer] ) then 
                killTimer(displayTimer) 
            end 
            dxDrawText ( lostHealth, 700, screenHeight - 545, screenWidth, screenHeight, tocolor ( 0, 0, 0, 255 ), 1.12, "default-small" ) 
            dxDrawText ( lostHealth, 700, screenHeight - 545, screenWidth, screenHeight, tocolor ( 0, 255, 0, 255 ), 1.1, "default-small" ) 
            displayTimer = setTimer(dxDrawText,5000,1) 
        end 
    end 
)

Draws a string of text on the screen for one frame. In order for the text to stay visible continuously, you need to call this function with the same parameters on each frame update (see onClientRender).

Well, and how can i make it show above the player's head? With onClientRender it doesn't even show the text anymore.

local screenWidth, screenHeight = guiGetScreenSize ( ) 
setElementData(localPlayer,"EventHandler",false) 
  
addEventHandler("onClientPedDamage",root, 
    function ( attaker, weapon) 
         lostHealth = "-" .. math.ceil(getElementHealth(source)) 
        if ( attaker and attaker == localPlayer ) then 
        setTimer(function()  
        if getElementData(localPlayer,"EventHandler") == true then return setElementData(localPlayer,"EventHandler",false) and removeEventHandler("onClientRender",root,Draw)  end; 
        setElementData(localPlayer,"EventHandler",true) 
        addEventHandler("onClientRender",root,Draw)  
        end,5000,1) 
        end 
    end 
) 
  
function Draw() 
            dxDrawText ( lostHealth, 700, screenHeight - 545, screenWidth, screenHeight, tocolor ( 0, 0, 0, 255 ), 1.12, "default-small" ) 
            dxDrawText ( lostHealth, 700, screenHeight - 545, screenWidth, screenHeight, tocolor ( 0, 255, 0, 255 ), 1.1, "default-small" ) 
end 
  
  
  

Try this will show the ped health after 5 sec!

That's showing random numbers on the screen, and i want it to show instantly not 5 secs after i shot him, what i need is to make that text show above the ped's head.
