Couldn't find a good answer for this one.. How do you make floating text center on top of a unit perfectly? Anyone whos experimented with this will notice it will change as the facing (of the current players camera?) changes. |

Offset by char width, get current camera angle of each player and adjust offset locally. Aka, not worth doing. |

getting string lenght char by char is damn slow also it trashing string table. |

Slow, yes. Adding extra stings to the string table, not so much. Only 255 possible chars with ASCII, if you analyze one at a time. |

the thing is that the tag will only be visable to users within a relatively small radius, and the camera is 3rd person fixed, so getting the angle isn't a problem, it's just the offsetting based on the width which would be semi-challenging |
