Does this need to be installed on the server to work as well?

[alduric 10]

No, its like SThud mod, client side.

Awesome!

Will it work with nametags off?

And can you customize the distance away that it works? 5m seems too short.

Script versions are inserted into a mission as ***.sqf and thereby will be loaded by all players of this mission, while addon versions are usually only loaded by single clients (unless you somehow install them on the server and the server "injects" them, like the zeuAI_skill addon).

[alduric 10]

Try to make sqf script, name it as you want and run it via init.sqf. But i think, using it as mod is much easier.

Script source:

Waituntil{!isNull player};

while{true} do {

sleep 0.5;

if((isPlayer cursorTarget) && (alive cursorTarget) && (side cursorTarget == side player) && (player distance cursorTarget < 5)) then {

_tag = name cursorTarget;

cutText [_tag,"PLAIN",0.1];

//_ctrl ctrlSetStructuredText parsetext _tag;

//_control ctrlSetStructuredText parseText format["<t>%1</t>",name cursorTarget];

//_control ctrlSetText format["Gracz: %1",name cursorTarget];// for Displays

} else {

//_ctrl ctrlSetStructuredText parsetext "";

//_control ctrlSetText "";// for Displays

};

};

Hey again Alduric, does this mod not work for AI? Only players?

If not, could you make it work for AI(for single player) and Players?

[oktyabr 12]

+1 on using AI names too. Breaks the "immersion" when only players reveal their names.

[clawhammer 10]

Thank you very much for this nice little helper addon :)

Working fine from armaholic :)

Hey Alduric,

It seems I have to recall the init for the mod to draw name tags again if player dies so that he/she will get the name tags once they respawn.

Been using this in my mission init.sqf:

A3C_NameTag_MP_Respawn_Init = player addMPEventHandler ["MPRespawn", {[] execVM '\A3C_Nametag\init.sqf'}];
