Is there a way of making a 2d sprite in the 3d world. like the enemies in doom. and then I'd need to change the width of that. thanks.

Point Sprites - (A Shader Trick - Kinda Hard) or simply use PLAINS - search for a technique called Bill Boarding. that might get you close.

Bill boarding is really simple, really easy: Just get the image of the sprite you want to use, make it transparent, and apply it to a double sided plane that's however big you want the sprite to be in-game. The double sided plane is an ACTUAl 3d object, however you are giving the illusion that it is just an image. Of course though, if the plane is always facing directly at the player, then it only needs to be one sided (and you don't have to worry about flipping the uvws on the other side when using a 2 sided).

(setting object cull off makes a plain double sided quite easily... no uv manipulation required )
