In "Multiplayer_2" behavior by jaimezegpi i found pretty awesome thing:

Names and messages of players makes out of 2D overlays and always move with players.

I was trying to make something using this plugin, but i am absolutely noob in JS.
I'm really needed this behavior to make interactive NPC's names with localization.

Any idea how i can make this, or some good sir can make this behavior for JS noobs like me? :)

hi, i think something like this might be what you are looking for...

var npc = ccbGetSceneNodeFromName("cubeMesh1");
var overlay = ccbGetSceneNodeFromName("2DOverlay1");
var npcPosition = ccbGetSceneNodeProperty(npc, "Position");
var pos = ccbGet2DPosFrom3DPos(npcPosition.x, npcPosition.y, npcPosition.z);
ccbSetSceneNodeProperty(overlay, "Pos X (pixels)", pos.x);
ccbSetSceneNodeProperty(overlay, "Pos Y (pixels)", pos.y);

every few seconds... 2d overlays must be set to absolute pixels...

or maybe you want your 2D overlays to be relative (percent) ... then you will have to calculate something different like...

var npc = ccbGetSceneNodeFromName("cubeMesh1");
var overlay = ccbGetSceneNodeFromName("2DOverlay1");
var npcPosition = ccbGetSceneNodeProperty(npc, "Position");
var pos = ccbGet2DPosFrom3DPos(npcPosition.x, npcPosition.y, npcPosition.z);
var getW = ccbGetScreenWidth();
var getH = ccbGetScreenHeight();
var calW = pos.x/getW;
var calH = pos.y/getH;
ccbSetSceneNodeProperty(overlay, "Pos X (percent)", calW*100);
ccbSetSceneNodeProperty(overlay, "Pos Y (percent)", calH*100);

every few seconds javascript command... 2d overlays must be set to relative (percent)...
