Ok, so I am creating an educational game as a project. I am making a typing game where I need the text to follow the object position (go and search the game "type of the dead"). In this game, objects are coming toward the player with text hovering over them. The player has to type the word displayed to destroy the object.

My problem here is on how to declare the location of the text reletive to the object (like a health bar hovering over an npc).

I am a very novice programmer but I know the code would go somewhere along the line as follows:

text x,y,z, 10 (to say the text is located where the object is)
text "snapdragon" (text that will hover over the object)
load object "objects/asteroid1",10 (the object number is 10)

Apologies in advance if I am not giving all the information needed. Anyway, does anyone here have experience with text locations?

You can use the 'object screen x' and 'object screen y' commands to grab the screen coordinates of an object.
