Character Collision Trigger Text Message Help!

Questions & Answers
1

Hey guys, I am new to scripting and do not know how to go about creating this. That said, I want a text message to show up when my character walk’s thru a collider and as he exit’s out, the text should disappear. And apart from this, how can I make the text disappear after a certain amount of time?

Well, this is what I’ve done so far. Now the text appears after a certain interval and does not disappear. Would be really nice If someone could help me out. Thank you very much in advance.

using UnityEngine;
using System.Collections;
 
public class mainText : MonoBehaviour 
{
    public float letterPause = 0.05f;
    public AudioClip sound;
    public GUIStyle font;
    string message;
    string text;
 
	
    void Start () 
    {
       message = "Hello, World!";
       StartCoroutine(TypeText());
    }
 
    IEnumerator TypeText () 
    {
		 float timeToWait = 2; 

    	 float incrementToRemove  = 0.5f;

   	  	 while(timeToWait > 0)
			

     {

          yield return new WaitForSeconds(incrementToRemove ); 

          timeToWait -= incrementToRemove;

     }

       foreach (char letter in message.ToCharArray()) 
       {
         text += letter;
         if (sound)
          audio.PlayOneShot (sound);
          yield return 0;
         yield return new WaitForSeconds (letterPause);
       }      
    }
 
    void OnGUI()
    {
       GUI.Label(new Rect(0, 0, 256, 1024), text, font); 
    }
 
    void Update()
    {
       if(Input.GetKeyDown (KeyCode.Return))
       {
         StopAllCoroutines();
         text = message;
       }
    }
}

public float textPausedSeconds = 5.0f;
float textDisappearTime = -1.0f;
//Both declared as global variables

//code that record text
textDisappearTime = Time.time + textPausedSeconds;

void OnGUI()
{
   if(Time.time<=textDisappearTime) 
       GUI.Label(new Rect(0, 0, 256, 1024), text, font); 
}
