Displaying text above heads.

[Emera]

Hello, i was wondering, is it possible to display a small text message above a players head if they are on stafftag saying "staff"? I'm not asking for whole scripts here but a little help would be great. Thanks guys.

What exactly do you want to do? Change the player's chat to something else when they do something? Or do you actually want to show some sort of "tag" above a player (visible for all other players)?

can do this with either a gani script or by using showimgs in a constant loop

since the text Staff would be pretty static, gani would probably be preferred

Use a GANI. If you want the text to be an image, just make it like a normal GANI (with no player, single-direction, and the text floating above where the player would be) and put it in the player's attributes.

If you want to draw the text via script, use a GANI script.

}
SCRIPTEND 


You'd then do something like

PHP Code:

player.attr[8] = "mygani.gani"; 


GANI paramaters are passed through attributes using commas, like this:

PHP Code:

player.attr[8] = "mygani.gani,2"; 


When drawing the image, set attachtoowner to true.
