basicaly i want that each of my game object has its name above them as guitext or anything else and all guitext be destroyed to when the need is over like toggel

plz help

Thanks

here is my code

using UnityEngine;
using System.Collections;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.IO;

public class JUMP_Caracter : MonoBehaviour {


	string stringToEdit = "Building no";
	public GameObject player ;
	GameObject activeChild;
	bool Show_boumdingboxes = false ;
	bool Disable_scale_Script = false ;
	bool Show_Obj_name = false ; 
	GameObject objectname ;





	void OnGUI() {
		 GUILayout.Window(0,new Rect(10, 80, 600, 120), DoMyWindow, "Position");
	}

	void DoMyWindow(int windowID) {

		stringToEdit = GUILayout.TextField(stringToEdit, 25);
		if (GUILayout.Button("Go to Building's Position"))
		{
			Change_Position();
		}

//		Show_boumdingboxes = GUILayout.Toggle(Show_boumdingboxes, "Show Colliders") ;
		Disable_scale_Script =  GUILayout.Toggle(Disable_scale_Script, "Enable Gui Point to Point Scale") ;
		if (GUILayout.Button("Do"))
		{
			Set_Scale();
		}

		Show_Obj_name = GUILayout.Toggle(Show_Obj_name, "Enable Game Objects Name ");
		if (GUILayout.Button("Do"))
		{
			OBJ_Name();
		}

		
		
		
	}
	// Use this for initialization
	void Start () {

	 

	
	}
	void Change_Position()
	{
		GameObject[] gameObjs = (GameObject[]) FindObjectsOfType(typeof(GameObject));

		foreach(GameObject go in gameObjs)
		{
			if(go.name.Contains("_BLD_"))
			{
					string building_name = go.name;
					if(building_name.Contains(stringToEdit))
					{
						GameObject obj = GameObject.Find(building_name);
						SetLayer(); 
	                    activeChild.transform.position = obj.transform.position;
//					    activeChild.transform.position = new Vector3 (obj.transform.position.x+8,obj.transform.position.y,obj.transform.position.z);
//			    	    activeChild.transform.eulerAngles.y = obj.gameObject.transform.eulerAngles.y;
					    string[]name = building_name.Split(char.Parse("_"));
					}
			}
		}
	}	
	void SetLayer ()
	{
		foreach(Transform Child in player.transform)
		{
			if(Child.active)
				activeChild = Child.transform.gameObject;
		} 
	}

	void Set_Scale()
	{
		if(Disable_scale_Script)
		{
			gameObject.AddComponent("Draw_LINE_ON_GUI_P2P_dist");
		}
		else
		{
			Destroy(GetComponent("Draw_LINE_ON_GUI_P2P_dist"));

		}
	}


	void OBJ_Name()
	{
		if(Show_Obj_name)
		{
			GameObject[] gameObjs = (GameObject[]) FindObjectsOfType(typeof(GameObject));
			foreach(GameObject go in gameObjs)
			{
					objectname = GameObject.Instantiate(Resources.Load("HoverText")) as GameObject;
				GUIText name = objectname.GetComponent<GUIText>();
				
				name.text = go.name; // Change Me
				
				objectname.transform.position = go.transform.position + new Vector3(0f, 5f, 0f); // Change the 0.05f value to some other value for desired height
			}
		}
		else
		{
//			objectname.Remove();
		}
		    
	}


	
	// Update is called once per frame
	void Update () {

	}
}

The error tells you’re trying to instantiate something that is null. You’re instantiating something in one place, and it is Resources.Load(“HoverText”). So the loading failed. Check whether the HoverText file is in your Assets/Resources folder and whether you spelled it correctly.

Got It I worked With Text Mesh Nd it works perfectly

Here Is the Method OF COde I Wrote

void OBJ_Name()
	{
		if(Show_Obj_name)
		{
			GameObject[] gameObjs = (GameObject[]) FindObjectsOfType(typeof(GameObject));
			foreach(GameObject go in gameObjs)
			{
				if(go.GetComponent("MeshRenderer"))
				{ 
					if(go.name.Contains(ObjectNAmeDis))
					{
						Preobjectname =GameObject.Instantiate(objectname)as GameObject ;
//				GUIText name = objectname.GetComponent<GUIText>();
						if(Preobjectname.GetComponent<TextMesh>())
						{
//							Preobjectname.AddComponent<TextMesh>();
							TextMesh name = Preobjectname.GetComponent<TextMesh>();
							name.text = go.name; // Change Me
							name.font = fon ;
							name.fontSize = 5;
							name.anchor = TextAnchor.UpperCenter ; 
							name.alignment = TextAlignment.Center ;
							name.offsetZ = 0;
							name.color = Color.red;
							name.characterSize = 1;
							name.richText = false;
							
							Preobjectname.transform.position = go.transform.position; 
							Preobjectname.transform.eulerAngles = go.transform.eulerAngles ;

							Preobjectname.transform.rotation = Quaternion.Euler(90f,25f,80f);

							objs.Add(Preobjectname);
						}
						else
						{

						}
					}
				}
			}
		}
		else
		{
			foreach(GameObject _Object in objs)
			{
				Destroy(_Object);
			}

		}
		    
	}

Can See Every Game Object’s Name With it
Thanks AR
