[Help] DrawMarker not working

[Shiroyo]

function Draw3DText(x,y,z,textInput,fontId,scaleX,scaleY)
local px,py,pz=table.unpack(GetGameplayCamCoords())
local dist = GetDistanceBetweenCoords(px,py,pz, x,y,z, 1)
local scale = (1/dist)20
local fov = (1/GetGameplayCamFov())100
local scale = scalefov
SetTextScale(scaleXscale, scaleY*scale)
SetTextFont(fontId)
SetTextProportional(1)
SetTextColour(250, 250, 250, 255) – You can change the text color here
SetTextDropshadow(1, 1, 1, 1, 255)
SetTextEdge(2, 0, 0, 0, 150)
SetTextDropShadow()
SetTextOutline()
SetTextEntry(“STRING”)
SetTextCentre(1)
AddTextComponentString(textInput)
SetDrawOrigin(x,y,z+2, 0)
DrawText(0.0, 0.0)
ClearDrawOrigin()
end

And when I use this it doesn’t work and I don’t see any 3D Text.

Draw3DText( 1863.8369140625, 3660.6931152344, 36.666610717773 + 2.0, “Test Text”, 4, 0.1, 0.1)

Take a look at this post.

DrawText(x, y) problems?

Hey everyone, i’m having trouble with DrawText() It seems like no matter what number is in DrawText(x, y), the text is always at the top left of the screen. I am trying to make the text appear in the middle of the players screen. Here is what I have: local screenW, screenH = GetScreenResolution() local height = 1080 local ratio = screenW/screenH local width = height*ratio SetTextFont(1) SetTextProportional(1) SetTextScale(0.0, 0.3) SetTextColour(128, 128, 128, 255) …

Well, it’s working for static coords but whenever I want to Draw 3D Text at NPC position I get nothing:

function setGuardTags(GuardList)
local guardCoords
for key, guard in ipairs(GuardList) do
guardCoords = GetEntityCoords(guard)
Draw3DText( guardCoords.x, guardCoords.y, guardCoords.z -1.400, “Z-10 Prototype”, 4, 0.1, 0.1)
end
end

I tried something like that as well:

function setGuardTags(GuardList)
local guardCoords
for key, guard in ipairs(GuardList) do – we iterate the GuardList
guardCoords = GetEntityCoords(guard)
print(guard)
Draw3DText( guardCoords.x, guardCoords.y, guardCoords.z -1.400, “Z-10 Prototype”, 4, 0.1, 0.1)
end
while true do
Citizen.Wait(0)
if GetDistanceBetweenCoords( guardCoords.x, guardCoords.y, guardCoords.z, GetEntityCoords(GetPlayerPed(-1))) < 10.0 then
Draw3DText( guardCoords.x, guardCoords.y, guardCoords.z -1.400, “Z-10 Prototype”, 4, 0.1, 0.1)
end
end
end

local guardCoords
for key, guard in ipairs(GuardList) do – we iterate the GuardList
guardCoords = GetEntityCoords(guard)
while true do
Citizen.Wait(0)
if GetDistanceBetweenCoords( guardCoords.x, guardCoords.y, guardCoords.z, GetEntityCoords(GetPlayerPed(-1))) < 10.0 then
Draw3DText( guardCoords.x, guardCoords.y, guardCoords.z -1.400 -1.000, “Z-10 Prototype”, 4, 0.1, 0.1)
end
end
end
end

Okay, any ideas why it only creates 3d text for first NPC?

local table = {
    {x=00.00, y=000.00, z=00.00}, -- XYZ1


}

Citizen.CreateThread(function()
    while true do
        Citizen.Wait(0)
        for k in pairs(table) do

            DrawMarker(1, table[k].x, table[k].y, table[k].z, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 4.501, 4.5001, 0.5001, 0, 0, 255, 200, 0, 0, 0, 0)
        end
    end
end)

DrawMarker has to be looped every tick to be displayed properly.

Okay, thanks for the tips. Can I make a table for guardCoords and then whenever I call guardCoords = GetEntityCoords(guard) it’s gonna add new coord to the table?

Hi, my drawmarker function seems not to work. What am I doing wrong??

vRPclient.addBlip(source,{x,y,z,gcfg.blipid,gcfg.blipcolor,lang.garage.title({gtype})})
        Citizen.CreateThread(function()
          while true do
              Citizen.Wait(0)  
               DrawMarker(27, -1, 0.7, 0.7, 0.0, 0.0, 0.0, 2.0, 2.0, 1.0, 58, 142, 225, 80, false, false, 2, true, false, false, false)
            end
          end)
