Info for "displayText" command (1.18 hf6), I sent it in an email but it should go on wiki:

The syntax for the command is as follows:

<obj> DisplayText ["Text", [x/y/z relative position to object], <3d_True/False>, [rgba color], size (number)]

All parameters are optional after "text".

Note that 2d text is visible no matter how far away you are from the object, even if you do not have LOS.

Example: player DisplayText ["text", [0,0,5], true, [1,0,0,1], 1.5]

Use displaytext [""] to remove any text.

You can also use the syntax #variable in the text, in order to display the contents of object variables of the attached object. The text will be changed dynamically. Example:

player setVariable ["myvar",1] player displayText ["myvar = #myvar"] sleep 10 player setVariable ["myvar",2]

In this example, the text over the player's head will change from "myvar = 1" to "myvar = 2" automatically.
