easy newbie npc help

Hello i just need to add a name hovering above a npc i created that opens a menu. thats it.

There are many options....

In a draw hook you could:

local _x, _y = ( self:GetPos( ) + Vector( 0, 0, 90 ) ):ToScreen( );

And draw the text using surface commands...

Alternatively, you could use Cam 2d3d and render text above the head, but you'd need to do it in a render hook ( ENT:Draw may work )...
