You can use à 3D Text and attach some script to dynamically change the text or use à guiText And use that simple script in order to make the guiText follow the object

using UnityEngine;
using System.Collections;

public class GUITextFollow : MonoBehaviour
{
	public GameObject Reference; //The object you want to follow
	public Vector3 Offset;
	
	// Update is called once per frame
	void Update()
	{
		transform.position = Camera.main.WorldToViewportPoint(Reference.transform.position) + Offset;
	}
}

You can use that little script with à guiTexture too! a healthbar? :slight_smile:

thank you, it works

you can also use Camera.WorldToScreenPoint to calculate the position on the screen and display a 2d text there. but you have to check if point is in front of camera additionally.
