[Feature Request]: Add support for 3D Debug Text #53

Open Stefotono opened 2 weeks ago

Stefotono commented 2 weeks ago

Feature description

I find myself in a lot of scenarios where text over an object or spot would be helpful for a debug view. for example I was creating a verlet integration system and rendering it with DebugDraw3D but kept forgetting the indexes for points and so I needed to instantiate Label3Ds and position them.

But I think having the ability with just one line to do that would be nice enchantment Just having a few new functions available along the lines of:

DebugDraw3D.draw_text_xf(transform, message, colour) this one would be a plane which takes the transform

DebugDraw3D.draw_text(position, message, colour) this one would be a billboard which face the camer located at the specified position

and for fancy people you could add like is_centredor bbcode enabled

that's all I`ve got to say. Have a nice day.

Implementation Ideas

Under the hood it could just be instantiating Label3Ds and moving them about. To optimize it a bit they could be pooled.

Yep, 3D labels were in my plans.

Yes, that would be the easiest solution. And as far as I remember, it is impossible to draw text without nodes (a 2d text mesh is generated in the node itself).
