[help] overhead player names c#

FiveM Resource Development Discussion

I’m trying to make a toggle for overhead player names but I’m fairly new to lua and trying to convert it from lua to C sharp has given me some problems, if anyone has any tips or is willing to help me I’d appreciate it, the other route I was willing to go was using the c# application to just call a lua event but iv never done it and can’t really find anything on the topic.

this is what i have and it works however it just shows my name above my head and not anyone elses, im using Citizen.FX, and NativeUI references.

int ped = GetPlayerPed(PlayerId());
int gamerTagID = CreateMpGamerTag(ped, GetPlayerName(PlayerId()), false, false, "", 0);
SetMpGamerTagVisibility(gamerTagID, 0, true);

What part of LUA code are you having trouble translating? What have you done so far?

i was trying to use this to reference - https://wiki.fivem.net/wiki/Gamer_tag_display and try to make work and here is the code iv done so far but its not working.

int gamerTagID = CreateMpGamerTag(PlayerPedId(), "", false, false, "", 0);
                    SetMpGamerTagVisibility(gamerTagID, 0, true);

You are passing an empty string to the second parameter for the players name. Try setting a value like "Test"?

int gamerTagID = CreateMpGamerTag(PlayerPedId(), "Test", false, false, "", 0);
SetMpGamerTagVisibility(gamerTagID, 0, true);

I also see a couple of threads on the forum when searching for CreateMpGamerTag. Perhaps you will find some valuable information there too. The most common way I see overhead player names being drawn is with drawing text in 3d space. I.e. https://pastebin.com/xxYAjj9T

Good luck

So where “test” is is the name above the head correct? So if there a function in citizen.core like “GetPlayerName” or something do not everyone’s name will be test? Also I’ll look into the rest of the post in a bit at work right now.

also i saw drawing it in 3D however its in LUA

I have it working but it doesnt show others names only mine.

int ped = GetPlayerPed(PlayerId());
int gamerTagID = CreateMpGamerTag(ped, GetPlayerName(PlayerId()), false, false, "", 0);
SetMpGamerTagVisibility(gamerTagID, 0, true);

all i need help with is making it show all names instead of just mine.
