problem

[Bean666]

it only works when there is 1 player in the team ,when i add 1 more player in the team ,the text above the players in the team disappears.

addEventHandler("onClientRender", getRootElement(),  
function () 
for k,v in ipairs(getElementsByType("player")) do 
        if getPlayerTeam(v) == getTeamFromName("Army") then 
            if v == localPlayer then return end 
            dxDrawTextOnElement(v,"Army",1,20,0,255,0,255,1,"bankgothic") 
        end 
    end 
end)

dxDrawTextOnElement is defined? It should be this:

  
addEventHandler("onClientRender", getRootElement(), 
function () 
for k,v in ipairs(getElementsByType("player")) do 
        if getPlayerTeam(v) == getTeamFromName("Army") then 
            if not v == localPlayer then  
            dxDrawTextOnElement(v,"Army",1,20,0,255,0,255,1,"bankgothic") 
           end 
        end 
    end 
end) 
  

The problem is when you're looping through a table, localPlayer (the client running the script), when that player element comes, it will stop the loop completely by using return. If there were 10 players and his number was first on table, it would not show it. Use "not".

doesnt work doesnt show the Text

EDIT: I tried this and it works , he can see mine too, we are both in same team but , it's showing the text for me too. i want players to see other's people's text only , not theirs too.

addEventHandler("onClientRender", getRootElement(), 
function () 
for k,v in ipairs(getElementsByType("player")) do 
        if getPlayerTeam(v) == getTeamFromName("Military") then 
            if not v == localPlayer then return end 
            dxDrawTextOnElement(v,"Army",1,20,0,255,0,255,1,"bankgothic") 
           end 
        end 
end)

end) 

it's the same as my code given at the very top, if i use this code, it works! i won't be able to see my own text and see other people's text, but when there are 2 or more players in the "Team", the text is not showing up anymore.

[..:D&G:..]

It's not the same, you used this:

  if not v == localPlayer then return end 

and I used:

  if v == localPlayer then return end 

Also, use this:

addEventHandler("onClientRender", getRootElement(), 
    function () 
    for k,v in ipairs(getElementsByType("player")) do 
            if getPlayerTeam(v) == getTeamFromName("Military") then 
                if not v == localPlayer then 
                    dxDrawTextOnElement(v,"Army",1,20,0,255,0,255,1,"bankgothic") 
                end 
            end 
    end) 

Because when the script gets to you when it loops through the table, it will stop, and will not carry on to the other players, and you don't really need a "return" for this function.

            end 
    end) 

Because when the script gets to you when it loops through the table, it will stop, and will not carry on to the other players, and you don't really need a "return" for this function.*sigh* anyways it's almost the same as anubhav's code just with 1 less end what's the difference?

[..:D&G:..]

This

if not v == localPlayer then 

is not the same as this

if not v == localPlayer then return end 

This will loop though all the players in a random order (I think):

for k,v in ipairs(getElementsByType("player")) do 

So this:

if not v == localPlayer then 

will be called every time the function gets to a player from the table, so if you have "return" in there and the function gets to you (the localPlayer) will stop the function therefore stopping the loop.

THIS IS Anubhav's CODE it didn't seem to work but ill try again! ill tell u the result tomorrow or later!

EDIT : Not working , not showing text above player head

  
addEventHandler("onClientRender", getRootElement(), 
function () 
for k,v in ipairs(getElementsByType("player")) do 
        if getPlayerTeam(v) == getTeamFromName("Army") then 
            if not v == localPlayer then 
            dxDrawTextOnElement(v,"Army",1,20,0,255,0,255,1,"bankgothic") 
           end 
        end 
    end 
end)

not working , text dont appear

[Enargy,]

addEventHandler("onClientRender", getRootElement(), 
function () 
local theTeam = getTeamFromName("Army") 
if not theTeam then return end 
for k,v in ipairs(getPlayersInTeam(theTeam)) do 
        if v ~= localPlayer then 
 dxDrawTextOnElement(v,"Army",1,20,0,255,0,255,1,"bankgothic") 
        end 
    end
