Shape Name Lines

[MARBLE MAN]

I was thinking of putting the things in this mod above a player's name all the time, but then i realized that you can't change a player's shape name.
Is there any way to get around this and add an ASCII health bar under a player's name?

I thought that with one of the new revisions you could completely hide the shapename, then mount a bot or something to the player's head and set the shapename on that

as of r####, you can setShapeNameDistance(0);

Can you mount a staticsape with empty.dts to node 8 and set it's name?

believe so.

[Mold]

believe so.

dose it require a datablock?
Also doesn't setshapenamedistance also affect the name of the mounted shape?

I don't know, but I'm not sure why it would

because a static shape needs a datablock
and with common sense you get the idea that that function shrinks the visibilty of ALL shape names, not just players

setting the shapenamedistance of the player shouldn't set the shape name distance of a completely different object mounted to the player

Waitis setshapenamedistance a global function or is it player::setshapenamedistance
If 2nd nvm
