Animated Icons above players head.

Unity Engine
1

Hi,

I am trying to create icons/images above players health that animated when they hit a trigger. But i don’t know what method i should use or even where to begin.

What i am trying to create is a player/enemy that has a icon like this :slight_smile: and when they enter a trigger to change the icon to something else like :hushed:.

The most convenient method comes to from unity 4.6. GUI components are all objects now, so you can get the object’s position in your screen space, place an icon above the head on your camera screen, and adjust the size for distance (if that matters).
