trying to get a sprite displayed infront of screen, that stays there when i move turn etc. Code below works except for the pitch, anyone know what I'm doing wrong, I'm a slacker at sin/cos so not sure if that part is wrong, or its somethingelse.
Also is displaying a sprite like that the best way of doing stat and info windows (its basically a HUD for an RPG style game). Thought about using 2d code but believe that is slower, and no fade like using entityalpha.
Any thoughts much appreciated:)

; display_status is a sprite 300 x 300 and alpha set to 0.2
angle# = EntityYaw(playerbox)
pitch# = EntityPitch(playerbox)
movex# = sin#(angle#)
movez# = cos#(angle#)
movey# = sin#(pitch#)
dispx# = movex# * 1.01
dispz# = movez# * 1.01
dispy# = movey# * 1.01
pointx# = EntityX(playerbox) - dispx#
pointz# = EntityZ(playerbox) + dispz#
pointy# = EntityY(playerbox) - dispy#
positionentity display_status, pointx#, pointy# - playergravity# + 4, pointz#
