🆒 TextRender

A Text Render class is useful for spawning Texts in 3D world, you can even attach it to other entities.


💂Authority
This class can be spawned on both 🟧 Client and 🟦 Server side (if you spawn it on client, it won't be synchronized with other players).
👪Inheritance
This class shares methods and events from Base Entity, Base Actor, Base Paintable.

🎒 Examples

local my_text_render = TextRender(
Vector(-100, 200, 300),
Rotator(),
"My Awesome Text",
Vector(1, 1, 1), -- Scale
Color(1, 0, 0), -- Red Color
FontType.OpenSans,
TextRenderAlignCamera.FaceCamera
)
info

If you desire your TextRender to be visible through walls, replace it's material with the nanos Default TranslucentDepth one!

SetMaterial("nanos-world::M_Default_Translucent_Lit_Depth").

You can also tweak it's color and other properties using the Material methods.
