[rubenwardy]

This is possible using the HUD API

Working on it.

Using waypoints I guess?

@savilli what happened?

Maybe depends on https://github.com/minetest/minetest/issues/5996 ?

That issue is about the regular player nametags, btw. We're using entity-based playertag instead.

I would switch them back to the normal ones if I could control who they were shown to

I agree. It's simpler to do this, than to have entity-based playertags, and then somehow allow players to know where team-mates are in real-time.

EDIT: One question though - switching back to normal nametags with selective viewing means that we can't make out the enemy standing right in front of us. That could be a regression.

A globalstep revealing enemy names at a certain distance would be possible, otherwise the entity nametags could be kept.
