Editable Name Plate

Description
Tired of trying to remember your friends characters names? Sick of trying to put a textbox on something, only need to move it later? Want to label a thing and move it around? Behold! An editable nameplate!

Thanks to https://steamproxy.net/id/maginomicon/ for reminding me the .rotate function exists for an improved version.

Many thanks to Maginomicon for correcting me!

That's not entirely true. I tweaked the OBJ file, applied it to the mesh and collision, and then was able to rotate the scripted text box to instead be at the new correct rotation. If you want to contact me I can share the exact changes I made.

Ah, I see! That's unfortunate. But thank you for your suggestion, I'll try that.

@ideamonster, unfortunately it is a limitation on how the game engine works. You can't spawn text boxes at an angle other than directly face-up. As such, the model has to default to that side. You can edit the properties if you like to change the object to not always self-right itself.

Thanks for this mod! Just what I was looking for :)
However, I'm having the same issue like Hey my team rules!, whenever I move the nameplate it will fall on its back and the name will point upwards. I don't get it to rotate properly after...

Great little tool!

Using this for more that just a nameplate. It's great for 'provided clue' games, like CodeNames. The one-word clue can be typed on this plate for reference and then copy/pasted for new rounds. Genius!

Thanks so much for this! It's such a good idea!

Good mod, only problem is that the nameplate spawns with the text facing up, which makes it difficult to position properly. Works fine though. Should only be used for LURPS sessions imo.
