Text Render

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

Note

This is a Client only Class.

Usage

Lua

local MyTextRender = TextRender(
    Vector(-100, 200, 300),
    Rotator(),
    "My Awesome Text",
    Color(1, 0, 0),
    1, -- Horizontal Alignment
    0, -- Vertical Alignment
    32, -- Size
    0, -- Lit
    false -- Align to Camera
)
