These 3D waypoint beams turn a flat map ping into a glowing pillar of light you can actually see in the world. Set a GPS marker and a colored beam rises at the destination, complete with live distance and a readable label.
Standard minimap waypoints are easy to lose in traffic or dense city blocks. A visible beam solves that instantly, guiding players to jobs, meetups and objectives without them staring at the corner of the screen.
How the 3D waypoint beams work
The resource renders its visuals through runtime DUI textures, which keeps the effect crisp and cheap. Each beam updates its distance in real time and fades sensibly as you approach, so it informs without cluttering the view.
- World-space beam that appears at any set GPS waypoint
- Live distance readout that counts down as you drive
- Custom label text above the marker
- Configurable beam color, height and opacity
- DUI-based rendering for sharp, efficient visuals
A cleaner navigation experience
Because the beam lives in the game world, players keep their eyes on the road and the action. It is especially useful for new members who do not yet know your map by heart.
- Standalone design that drops into any server
- Helps players find jobs, shops and event locations fast
- Reduces confusion during convoys and group scenes
- Adjustable draw distance to fit performance targets
- No heavy dependencies to manage
The effect is subtle enough to feel premium rather than arcade-like. You control the palette and intensity, so the beams can match a gritty roleplay tone or a brighter, more casual server vibe.
Performance stays healthy thanks to the DUI approach and smart draw handling. The script only works while a waypoint is active, so idle players pay nothing for it in frame time.
Installation is as simple as it gets: add the resource, tweak the config colors and restart. To keep polishing your on-screen experience, explore our hud-ui-scripts collection and the wider scripts library.
It also slots naturally into the loops your players already enjoy, giving staff and regulars one more reason to keep coming back, and because it is open-source you can adjust, rename and balance it to match exactly how your own server likes to run.
