Hmm... the code I used uses FONText and it wasn't too clear in what it was doing, so I knocked this little example up for you. You could still incorporate the EntityInView() thing if you didn't want the markers to appear when the target was in view:

Open in online IDE

Graphics3D 800,600

camera = CreateCamera()
cube = CreateCube()
light = CreateLight()
MoveEntity camera,0,3,-15


While Not KeyDown(1)
	If KeyDown(203) Then TurnEntity camera,0,1,0
	If KeyDown(205) Then TurnEntity camera,0,-1,0
	If KeyDown(200) Then TurnEntity camera,1,0,0
	If KeyDown(208) Then TurnEntity camera,-1,0,0
	RotateEntity camera,EntityPitch(camera),EntityYaw(camera),0
	CameraProject(camera,EntityX(cube),EntityY(cube),EntityZ(cube))
	X# = ProjectedX()
	Y# = ProjectedY()
	RenderWorld
	Oval 8,y,6,6,True
	Oval GraphicsWidth()-8,y,6,6,True
	Oval x,8,6,6,True
	Oval x,GraphicsHeight()-8,6,6,True
	Flip
