Hi
I’m looking for one typical effect on text. I’ve seen it plenty of times, I can’t find a video right now but they show up when you get some points for doing something.
For instance… did a triple jump or something… you get some flashy text with “Triple Jump!”
it usually shows up fast, zooms in and out bouncing a little, and dissapears.
I’m trying to achieve a similar effect with unity text, but I don’t find any premade prefab or script on this online. Anyone can help out on this one?
Regards,
Joaquin
What are you using for text? (E.g. GUI/GUILayout, GUIText, text mesh, etc.).
Right now GUIText and also SpriteText from EZGUI package. But I’ll use anything as long as I get that effect.
To make this easier, I’d recommend breaking it down into three separate problems:
-
Making the text appear and disappear (along with any additional effects you want, such as fading out).
-
Making the text bounce up and down.
-
Making the text scale up and down (which is what I assume you mean by ‘zoom in and out’).
I’d just pick one of these to begin with, and then ask whatever specific questions you have regarding how to do it here in this thread.
Jesse, I know how to do all of them… but I just don’t seem to get it right. I mean, it looks crappy.
I know there are tools already that has this behaviour. Like EZGUI has animations, but they are for panels and stuff, i don’t find a good animation for text.
It’s for this game I’ve made: http://snipr.com/dogfight
So it’s not an issue of not knowing how to script or use Unity3d, it’s an issue of getting the effect right.
My apologies; I misunderstood the question (I thought you were asking how to implement the effect). Sorry about that.
