[Help] 3D Text

[3B00DG4MER]

Hello,I want today to Create a 3D Text Appears above the head of a ped

i have seen that in SUAR server

Thanks.

[WhoAmI]

local pedX, pedY, pedZ = 0, 0, 0 
local maxDistance = 12 -- the distance showing 3dtext 
  
addEventHandler ( "onClientRender", root, 
    function ( ) 
        local pX, pY, pZ = getElementPosition ( localPlayer ) 
        local distance = getDistanceBetweenPoints3D ( pX, pY, pZ, pedX, pedY, pedZ ) 
         
        if ( distance <= maxDistance ) then 
            local x, y = getScreenFromWorldPosition ( pedX, pedY, pedZ ) 
            if ( x and y ) then 
                dxDrawText( "text", x, y, _, _, tocolor( 255, 255, 255, 2555 ), 2, "default", "center", "center" ) 
            end 
        end 
    end 
) 

It should work, but I'm not sure, couse I was writing it kinda fast.

Don't Work

I tried to Attach the Text to a Ped

local ped = createPed          (21, 2000.6636962891, 1538.318359375, 13.5859375) 
  
addEventHandler ( "onClientRender", root, 
    function ( ) 
    local pX, pY, pZ = getElementPosition ( ped ) 
        local distance = getDistanceBetweenPoints3D ( pX, pY, pZ, pedX, pedY, pedZ ) 
        
        if ( distance <= maxDistance ) then 
            local x, y = getScreenFromWorldPosition ( pX, pY, pZ ) 
            if ( x and y ) then 
            dxDrawText( "Criminal", x, y, _, _, tocolor( 255, 255, 255, 2555 ), 2, "default", "center", "center" ) 
            end 
        end 
    end 
) 

But the same fix it with Ped PLease

            if ( distance <= 12 ) then

Problem with line "if (distance <= 12) then"

Attempt to compare Boolean with number

i think you must convert distance to number tonumber(distance) afaik

change

local pX, pY, pZ = getElementPosition ( player ) 

to

local pX, pY, pZ = getElementPosition ( localPlayer ) 

[IIYAMA]

It is maybe also handy if you check if the ped still does exist.

if isElement(ped) then 

or you may will have trouble when the ped somehow is deleted.(by another script)

change

local pX, pY, pZ = getElementPosition ( player ) 

to

local pX, pY, pZ = getElementPosition ( localPlayer ) 

Thankkkks
