Playername in 3D World

[D3m0nE]

Hello everyone i want to show GUILabel on playerobject

i use this code to get playername

RaycastHit hit;

if(Physics.Raycast(transform.position + new Vector3(0,0.6f,-1.6f),transform.TransformDirection(Vector3.forward),out hit)){	
	if(hit.collider.tag == "BlueTeamTrigger" || hit.collider.tag == "RedTeamTrigger" || hit.collider.tag == "Trigger"){
	Debug.Log( "mouse is over object " + hit.collider.transform.parent.gameObject.name);
	name = hit.collider.transform.parent.gameObject.name;
	ShowPosition = hit.collider.transform.position;
	Showit = true;

now onGUI()

if(Showit == true){
//INeed code to drawname next/up the object
}

As your object is in 3d space and OnGUI is 2D screenSpace. you have to use Camera.WorldToScreenPoint to get the x,y position on screen.

So to get position on screen:

Camera mainCam = GameObject.FindGameObjectWithTag("MainCamera").camera;

//convert world coordinates to screen coordinates
Vector3 screenPos = mainCam.WorldToScreenPoint(hit.collider.transform.parent.position);

//reverse y coordinates
float posY = screenPos.y;
posY = Screen.height - screenPos.y; // to reverse the y-coord
screenPos.y = posY;

void OnGUI(){
   if(ShowIt){
      GUI.Label(new Rect(screenPos.x, screenPos.y, 150, 40), "name here");
   }
}

You could also use GUIText found in the Rendering menu. It adds essentially a 3D object to the scene that contains text. You then have this follow the player and switch the text to their name. I’ve done something similar to this before with success.
