Hi there,

I want to find out if theres a function in Blitz3D that will return the X and Y coordinates of an entities position in the camera view.

For example, say if you wanted to make a first person multiplayer shooter where the names of your opponents float above their heads. You could use a simple text command to write the name, but you need to find the X and Y positions of the entities on screen to know where to put the text.

How could you go about doing that?


Many thanks,
