Ive tryed to create a labelsystem for my 3d space game. And it works... but not as I want it to. You see, the idea was to make so a label that shows the name of a planet will apear on the planets location as soon as it enter the screen. That part works. BUT IF YOU ROTATE 180 DEGREES YOULL SEE THE LABEL IN SPACE!!! First i did it like this:
. Then I tryed to make so the label would disapear when it did get out of the screen. But that didnt work. Can anyone help me?

EDIT:

Im sorry for not posting the other peace of code I tryed when the first one didnt work, but I cant post it, its too wide.

I think I know whats wrong. I say to the program to print the name of the planet at its 2d coordinates on the screen. And it does that, even if I turn the camera away, so the planet aint visual on the screen. So, how do I check if its visual on the screen?

have you tried;
This command will return a value of one if the specified 3D object is wholey or partly visible within the screen borders, otherwise zero is returned. Even if the object is behind the camera, it's overall size may partially clip the screen area. The parameter should be specified using an integer value.

SYNTAX
Return Value=OBJECT IN SCREEN(Object Number)
??
