First turn the 3D coordinates of both objects into 2D coordinates for the screen. You use the CameraProject command for this.

Each time you call CameraProject() it will place the results in ProjectedX() and ProjectedY(). Remember to draw your 2D graphics like Line after Renderworld though as Renderworld will draw over everything.

CameraProject camera,EntityX(ent1),EntityY(ent1),EntityZ(ent1)
x1=ProjectedX()
y1=ProjectedY()

CameraProject camera,EntityX(ent2),EntityY(ent2),EntityZ(ent2)
x2=ProjectedX()
y2=ProjectedY()

Line x1,y1,x2,y2
