Creating a simple 3DText - yLuSsSIoN - 14.09.2012

Function is:

pawn Code:

Create3DTextLabel (text [], color, Float: X, Float: Y, Float: Z, Float: DrawDistance, virtualworld, testLOS)

text [] - You type text that you want ...;
color - text color;
Float: X - X coordinate;
Float: Y - Y coordinate;
Float: Z - coordinate Z;
Float: DrawDistance - Distance from where you can see the 3D text;
virtualworld - virtual world that appear 3D text (-1 to appear in all virtual worlds);
testLOS - This tests the line of sight so as not to see through objects (use 0 or 1).

EXAMPLE
Create3DTextLabel ("Example", 0xFFFFFFFF, 372.6514, 2474.6919, 16.4844, 50, 0);

TIP 1: If you want to pick up this text to add a + Z coordinate followed by the desired height.
TIP 2: If you want to add a newline character this text use \ n.

Very general, but

You do not need to add the function under the OnGameModeInit() callback

Uh.. sry .. my mistake theen

Re: Creating a simple 3DText - Sniper Kitty - 14.09.2012

I made this real quick for example purposes.

pawn Code:

new Text3D: TextID[MAX_PLAYERS];
    
public OnPlayerConnect(playerid) {
    new Float: X,
        Float: Y,
        Float: Z;
        
    GetPlayerPos(playerid, X, Y, Z);
    TextID[playerid] = Create3DTextLabel("X: 0000.000000\nY: 0000.000000\nZ: 0000.000000\nA: 0000.000000", 0x008080FF, X, Y, Z);
    return true;
}
    
public OnPlayerDisconnect(playerid, reason) {
    Delete3DTextLabel(TextID[playerid]);
    return true;
}
    
public OnPlayerUpdate(playerid) {
    new Float: X,
        Float: Y,
        Float: Z,
        Float: A,
        String[100];
        
    GetPlayerPos(playerid, X, Y, Z);
    GetPlayerFacingAngle(playerid, A);
    format(String, 100, "X: %f\nY: %f\nZ: %f\nA: %f", X, Y, Z, A);
    Update3DTextLabelText(TextID[playerid], 0x008080FF, String);
    Attach3DTextLabelToPlayer(TextID[playerid], playerid, 0.0, 0.0, 1.0);
    return true;
}

It simply follows the player around, wherever the player goes, and other players can see their position.

I don't see this as a tutorial. You're just providing them one function and info how to use the parameters. To me atleast, tutorial would be longer and use more functions and give examples.

Typically people who make tutorials know more about scripting than the people reading them...
