Is it possible?

[mgdmgd]

Hey.

 

I was wondering if it's possible to give a spefic name for a police car, like a tag Adam-3 showing on the back of the car as a text?

An identify for the car for roleplay servers.

 

Thanks.

If the question is only about possibility, then the answer is yes It is possible

Well can you help with the script?  I need a script for it

[_DrXenon]

Well sure, You will need the functions;

dxCreateRenderTarget, dxDrawRext, dxSetRenderTarget, dxDrawImage3D.

It won't be that hard if you can script.

You simply need to create a render target then create a text inside that render target using dxDrawText and dxSetRenderTarget and then you can draw the texture of this render target as a 3D image on the car.

I can give a short example if you are not familiar with those functions.

Actually i am not familiar with scripting that well, if you could help me with a PM having some tips and the script if you can <3 It would be great help buddy.

and i want the tag to be saved to the car even if the car respawns if it's possible buddy!

[_DrXenon]

Well, if you were familiar with those functions then a small example could help you, but since you are not then this is going to take some time and I actually don't have free time now to write a whole script but I'll make sure to help you tomorrow on my free time.

So keep me updated about this issue.

No because it's roleplay server, i want a text to show on the car above it or anywhere on it that others can see like an identify for the radio, call-sign.

Anybody can do this for me?

[NeXuS™]

Is it a modded car, or just the default police car?

[mgdmgd]

I don't want a texture item @NeXuS™ I want to like use /addsign <carid> <sign> and it gets assigned to it and will be shown like a tag for everyone.

[NeXuS™]

And it can be done with textures on it, lol.

this one is for the names


and this one is for drawing:

 

addEventHandler("onClientRender", root,

		if not drawingName then
			return
		end
		offsetY = offsetY + (offsetTargetY - offsetY) * 0.15
		local y = screenHeight - height + offsetY
		local h = screenHeight + offsetY
		      local vehicle = getPedOccupiedVehicle ( localPlayer )
		local vehids = getElementData(getPedOccupiedVehicle ( localPlayer ),"handlingType")
	
		dxDrawText(""..drawingName, 3, y + 3, screenWidth + 3, h + 3, tocolor(0, 0, 0, 170), 3, "default-bold", "center", "center",false,false,false,true)
		dxDrawText(""..drawingName, 0, y, screenWidth, h, tocolor(255, 255, 255), 3, "default-bold", "center", "center",false,false,false,true)

		if drawingOwner then
			local ownerOffset = dxGetFontHeight(3, "default-bold")
			y = y + ownerOffset
			h = h + ownerOffset
			dxDrawText(drawingOwner, 0, y, screenWidth, h, tocolor(48, 113, 138), 2, "default-bold", "center", "center", false, false, false, true)
		end
	end
)

local function hide()
	drawingName = false
end

local function startHiding()
	offsetTargetY = height
	setTimer(hide, 1000, 1)
end

addEventHandler("onClientVehicleEnter", root,
	function(player)
		if player ~= localPlayer then
			return
		end
		drawingName = getVehicleNameFromModel(getElementModel(source))
		local ownerName = getElementData(source, "tws-ownerName")
		if ownerName then
			drawingOwner = "" .. tostring(drawingName)
		else
			drawingOwner = false
		end
		offsetY = height
		offsetTargetY = 0

		setTimer(startHiding, 4000, 1)
	end
)

@Daniels69 Well, I'd rather understand what the main issue here before posting some random script.

The guy wants to draw a text on the vehicle which exists on the 3D world, not to create custom vehicle names for certain vehicles.

Thats actually what i mean, if somebody can help me and thank you for your time @Daniels69 but it's not what i need

[NeXuS™]

Working on a texture script which would work on every car, that's why it takes a bit of time tho.

[Captain Cody]

Shaders.

[mgdmgd]

Guys

I want to do /maketext and it shows a normal TEXT, normal text like "Hey sup" on the car

I want it to be shown on the top of the car or on the back, floating in the air, not a texture or shaders or anything, just a normal TEXT, anybody know how to do it?

This is what he wants

Exactly! thank you oh my god lol -,- 

[NeXuS™]

Ohh, just in the air?

For the server side. Later on, you can use the customNames table to set their custom name back after respawn.

customNames = {}

addCommandHandler("customname", function(thePlayer, cmdName, customName)
	local cVeh = getPedOccupiedVehicle(thePlayer)
	setElementData(cVeh, "customName", customName)
	customNames[cVeh] = customName
end)

For the client side.

addEventHandler("onClientRender", getRootElement(), function()
	local pX, pY, pZ = getElementPosition(localPlayer)
	for i, k in ipairs(getElementsByType("vehicle")) do
		if getElementData(k, "customName") then
			local cX, cY, cZ = getElementPosition(k)
			if getDistanceBetweenPoints3D(cX, cY, cZ, pX, pY, pZ) <= 20 then
				if isLineOfSightClear(cX, cY, cZ+1, pX, pY, pZ+1) then
				local cX, cY = getScreenFromWorldPosition(cX, cY, cZ+1)
				if cX and cY then
					dxDrawText(getElementData(k, "customName"), cX, cY)
				end
			end
		end
	end		
end)

This one should work just fine. Not tested tho. Give me a feedback of it. Still working on the texture one.

[_DrXenon]

lol. 

dxDrawTextOnElement function is a useful function on MTA wiki which does this job.
