I tried to do same thing with ped but i can't see the text here is the code

local rootElement = getRootElement()  
local PED = createPed( 179, -1621.07922, 666.60632, -4.90625 ) 
local screenWidth, screenHeight = guiGetScreenSize()  
local maxrange = 45  
function PEDnametag() 
    local pedX,pedY,pedZ = getElementPosition(PED) 
    local sx,sy = getScreenFromWorldPosition (pedX,pedY,pedZ) 
    local cameraX,cameraY,cameraZ = getCameraMatrix() 
    if sx then  
        if getDistanceBetweenPoints3D(cameraX,cameraY,cameraZ,pedX,pedY,pedZ) <= maxrange then  
            dxDrawText("Bob",sx,sy,screenWidth, screenHeight,tocolor ( 255, 255, 0, 255 ), 2,"sans")  
        end 
    end 
end 
  
function HandleTheRendering() 
    addEventHandler("onClientRender",rootElement, PEDnametag) 
end 
addEventHandler("onClientResourceStart",rootElement, HandleTheRendering)

ccreatePed = ?

adding to what prestege said,

where are you defining from whom you are getting the camera matrix?

  
    local cameraX,cameraY,cameraZ = getCameraMatrix() 
    if sx then 
        if getDistanceBetweenPoints3D(cameraX,cameraY,cameraZ,pedX,pedY,pedZ) <= maxrange then

It's used client-side so it checks it from the player that wants to see the text over his friend.
