Superku OP Senior Expert Joined: Sep 2003 Posts: 6,861 Kiel (Germany)	This week's Tip of the Week deals with 3D texts. They are not really three-dimensional but are regular 2D texts displayed on entities, similar to panel.target_map and bmap_for_entity() but without all related issues and limitations and low memory usage.
