[RELEASE] Adv Entity Marker and Holographic Text Screen

**Divran** · 03-19-2010

I've created a new entity: The holographic text screen. It uses 3D2D so that you can write stuff in midair.
I also decided to make this the official release thread for my other new entity, the Adv Entity Marker. The old thread was: Entity link tool

The Holographic Text Screen
The holographic screen uses 3D2D text. You can move it around a little, angle it, color it, change the font and resize it.

Quick SVN update

Right after I posted this I noticed something was missing. An angle input for the holoscreen. So I added one

Agreed, great stuff.

Although I must ask whats with the empty set of parentheses at the bottom of the little description thing (when you place your cursor over the component). I'm kinda OCD like that.

I'm pretty sure that's where the name of the owner of the entity goes. Don't know why it didn't show up at the time I recorded the video.

Could you add a world pos option? Like in the menu for the holo screen add a checkbox so you can choose if you want to use local pos or world pos, then modify the inputs accordingly.
