SyntaxBomb - Indie Coders

Hi guys was wanting to know how to put text onto a 3d screen for score etc . Been looking at the documentation and am using create3dtext then move 3d text . It keeps saying the 3d text has not been initialized . I'll paste a few lines of code that may help.
CreateText3D(6,"score")
Text3DCaption(6,"score")
MoveText3D(6,800,70,200)

Been over it a million times to no avail. The code just stops and I keep getting the #3dtext has not been initialised . I thought I initialised it with createtext3d(6,"score") What am I missing ?



    CreateCube(0, 2); <-------------------------------------This is entity you will attach your text to
    CreateMaterial(0, LoadTexture(0, "bla bla.png"))
    CreateEntity(0, MeshID(0), MaterialID(0))

    CreateText3D(0, "Hello world")
    Text3DColor(0, RGBA(255, 0, 0, 255))
    Text3DAlignment(0, #PB_Text3D_HorizontallyCentered)
    AttachEntityObject(0, "", Text3DID(0))  ; <---------- You are missing this. Text must be attached to a Lib Link "node", "node" or an entity.
    MoveText3D(0, 0, 2, 2)



Thanks naughty alien got it sorted in the end . You also have to load a font and parse text () .
It wasn't really what I was looking for what I wanted is text on the screen like a high score . Any ideas .?

..what you looking for is,

TextGadget
TextGadget3D

SetGadgeText
SetGadgetText3D

how about
CreateSprite(0, 200, 100)
StartDrawing(SpriteOutput(0))
DrawText(1, 50, "THIS IS TEXT",#Red)
StopDrawing()
TransparentSpriteColor(0,#Black)


how about this

put these in in this order
  RenderWorld()
            DisplayTransparentSprite(0, 200,60)
      FlipBuffers()


Put this where you would  put your renderworld () flippbuffers()

Gonna try your method using Gadget got the other code off of someone on purebasic forum. It works fine .

Hi Alien it appears that the Gadget command only works inside a 3d window I'm using a screen as in openscreen () so was not able to use it I will write it down though as might come in handy in the future . Thanks for giving up your time and reading this . I write down everything I find useful not as a user manual but a way of jogging my memory . Very pleased with PB so far been at it about 3 weeks and have learnt a lot in that time . Bonjour.
