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.

It didn't work bro

[NeXuS™]

What is not working with it tho? Any error?

[mgdmgd]

Nope, when i write /customname ingame nothing happens, plus i tested it on a friend server and had no console since my server isn't ready yet  @NeXuS™

Gonna give it a go in 10 mins. Can you wait a bit please?

Sure thing  thanks bro

There was an error in the client-side script. An end was missing.

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		
end)

Hope it works now  But i was wondering, how can i make the names save even if the cars respawn?

[NeXuS™]

If it is respawned, the element data is still saved. The problem starts if your car got destroyed. You'll have to save the cars in a database, else how do you know which car needs a customname?

the cars gets saved in the database but i want the text to get saved as well, i can make a new cloumn and identify it in the script?

[NeXuS™]

Yeah, that's all you'll have to do. If you need further help with that one too, feel free to ask.

Okay so i am facing another problem  It appears for me but doesn't appear for other players and once i get out of the car it disappears  can you help me with that?

[NeXuS™]

I think it's because the player's model is blocking the isLineOfSightClear function. Try this one.

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, true, true, true, true, true, false, false, localPlayer) 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		
end)

	end		
end)

 

The text appears and disappears now but it shows for all but disappears a lot, and can somehow it be at the end of the car? like here

http://prntscr.com/er5xw2

[NeXuS™]

Just calculate the position.
You can attach an element to the car and set it's collision to false, and then create the text on that object. Whatever you want. 

The script itself works totally fine for me wo/ any disappearing. Do you have any errors in debugscript mode?

[mgdmgd]

Nope, but when the car jumps the text appears but when i am driving it keeps disappearing and appearing

[NeXuS™]

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
				local ignoredElement = getPedOccupiedVehicle(localPlayer) and getPedOccupiedVehicle(localPlayer) or localPlayer
				if isLineOfSightClear(cX, cY, cZ+1, pX, pY, pZ+1, true, true, true, true, true, false, false, ignoredElement) 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		
end)
