The code:
local plyMeta = FindMetaTable("Player") plyMeta.drawPlayerInfo = plyMeta.drawPlayerInfo or function(self) return false end

local function hivehud_overhud(ply)
    if (!IsValid(ply)) then return end
    if (ply == LocalPlayer()) then return end
    if (!ply:Alive()) then return end

    local Distance = LocalPlayer():GetPos():Distance(ply:GetPos())
    if (Distance < 512) then

    local offset = Vector(0, 0, 23)
    local ang = LocalPlayer():EyeAngles()
    local pos = ply:EyePos() + offset + ang:Up()

    ang:RotateAroundAxis(ang:Forward(), 90)
    ang:RotateAroundAxis(ang:Right(), 90)
    cam.Start3D2D(pos, Angle(0, ang.y, 90), 0.25)
        local nick, plyTeam = ply:Nick(), ply:getDarkRPVar("job")
        draw.DrawText(nick, "MHUD_18", 1, 2, Color(0,0,0,235), TEXT_ALIGN_CENTER)
        draw.DrawText(nick, "MHUD_18", 0, 0, Color(255,255,255,255), TEXT_ALIGN_CENTER)
        draw.DrawText(plyTeam, "MHUD_18", 1, 15, Color(0,0,0,235), TEXT_ALIGN_CENTER)
        draw.DrawText(plyTeam, "MHUD_18", 0, 15, team.GetColor(ply:Team()), TEXT_ALIGN_CENTER)
        draw.DrawText("HP:%"..ply:Health(), "MHUD_18", 1, 35, Color( 0, 0, 0, 235 ), TEXT_ALIGN_CENTER)
        draw.DrawText("HP:%"..ply:Health(), "MHUD_18", 0, 35, Color( 255, 255, 255, 255 ), TEXT_ALIGN_CENTER)
        if ply:getDarkRPVar("wanted") then
            draw.DrawText("Wanted", "MHUD_18", 1, -16, Color( 0, 0, 0, 235 ), TEXT_ALIGN_CENTER)
            draw.DrawText("Wanted", "MHUD_18", 0, -16, Color( 206, 62, 14, 255 ), TEXT_ALIGN_CENTER)
        end 
    cam.End3D2D()

    end
end
hook.Add("PostPlayerDraw", "hivehud_overhud", hivehud_overhud)

Try drawing it in a "PostDrawTranslucentRenderables" hook, there might be something better for it, but that might solve your issue.

[xpuska]

But how properly to do it?
I tried but this isn't working

[MrManiak]

Put it in HUDPaint ?
Render Order

[xpuska]

Tried but it isn't working. I still can't see text on player's head when player is on front of prop

[MrManiak]

You're lying. Post your code.

Here is the code:
local function hivehud_overhud(ply)
    if (!IsValid(ply)) then return end
    if (ply == LocalPlayer()) then return end
    if (!ply:Alive()) then return end

    local Distance = LocalPlayer():GetPos():Distance(ply:GetPos())
    if (Distance < 512) then

    local offset = Vector(0, 0, 23)
    local ang = LocalPlayer():EyeAngles()
    local pos = ply:EyePos() + offset + ang:Up()
    local focus
    local LastHasFocus

    ang:RotateAroundAxis(ang:Forward(), 90)
    ang:RotateAroundAxis(ang:Right(), 90)
    cam.Start3D2D(pos, Angle(0, ang.y, 90), 0.25)
        local nick, plyTeam = ply:Nick(), ply:getDarkRPVar("job")
        surface.SetMaterial(Material("icon16/page_white.png"))
        if LocalPlayer():getDarkRPVar("HasGunlicense") then
        surface.SetDrawColor(255, 255, 255, 255)
        else
        surface.SetDrawColor(0,0,0,0)
        end
        surface.DrawTexturedRect(32, 0, 16, 16)
        draw.DrawText(nick, "MHUD_18", 1, 2, Color(0,0,0,235), TEXT_ALIGN_CENTER)
        draw.DrawText(nick, "MHUD_18", 0, 0, Color(255,255,255,255), TEXT_ALIGN_CENTER)
        draw.DrawText(plyTeam, "MHUD_18", 1, 15, Color(0,0,0,235), TEXT_ALIGN_CENTER)
        draw.DrawText(plyTeam, "MHUD_18", 0, 15, team.GetColor(ply:Team()), TEXT_ALIGN_CENTER)
        if ply:getDarkRPVar("wanted") then
            draw.DrawText("Wanted", "MHUD_18", 1, -16, Color( 0, 0, 0, 235 ), TEXT_ALIGN_CENTER)
            draw.DrawText("Wanted", "MHUD_18", 0, -16, Color( 206, 62, 14, 255 ), TEXT_ALIGN_CENTER)
        end    
    cam.End3D2D()

    end
end
hook.Add("HUDPaint","HUD",hivehud_overhud)

Yes, prop_physics

[MrManiak]

Oh sorry, I didn't see you had a 3D2D. Try putting the 3D2D code within a Start3D. You also need to reconnect so the previous hook is destroyed.

[xpuska]

Put cam3d2d into cam3d?

[LoweChaser]

Try to loop through all the players in GM:PostDrawOpaqueRenderables

[xpuska]

But how?

[SnowredWolf]

As other people suggested, try to use the GM:PostDrawTranslucentRenderables hook.
You could try to do something like this, I guess you can finish the rest up yourself. The GM:PostDrawTranslucentRenderables hook in the code underneath should theoretically work, but I haven't tested it.
local function hivehud_overhud(ply)
// Make some code to draw the stuff etc. in this.
end

hook.Add("PostDrawTranslucentRenderables", "hivehud_drawthatthingy", function()
local trace = LocalPlayer():GetEyeTrace()
local ent = trace.Entity
if not ent:IsPlayer() then return end
local dist = LocalPlayer():GetPos():DistToSqr(ent:GetPos())
if dist > 262144 then return end // We use DistToSqr, it returns a squared distance. If you take the square root of 262144, it is 512.
hivehud_overhud(ent)
end)
In theory, Vector:DistToSqr should be faster than using Vector:Distance, and it is not that hard to use so might aswell use it.
