UI

I wish set and remove GUI Label for some period of time in my application. I see that GUI element can be only placed inside OnGUI function , so when I place GUI Label first time , she stay on the screen, only what I can I manage a content of label, but I wish that label appear and disappear for some case.

You’ll need to use a flag to inform your script when you would like to display the label. For example, along the lines of:

var showLabel : boolean = false;

function Update () {
	if (somethingThatYouCareAbout) {
		showLabel = true;
	}
	else {
		showLabel = false;
	}
}

function OnGUI() {
	if (showLabel)
		GUI.Label...............blah
}

Thanks for help , but I try this solution with flags, the problem is, when the Label appear for the first time, he stay , but what I wish is that he remove for some period of time, for example

function OnGUI() {
if(labelActive){

GUI.Label(Write something);
yield WaitForSecond(2);

// remove the label from the screen :wink: , and that doesn’t work
}

} :roll: :roll: :roll:

Ooo… not sure what the BEST way to do that is, but I usually use a GUI Text object for stuff like that. Create it the way you want it, attach a lifecycle script that basically just does something like:

function Start() {
   Destroy(gameObject, 2);
}

and then instantiate it from a prefab when you need it to display:

var guiTextObject : GUIText;

function Whatever() {
   var thisGuiTextObject : GUIText = Instantiate(guiTextObject, Vector3(0.0, 0.0, 0.0), transform.rotation);

   thisGuiTextObject.text = "Whatever you want it to say this time around";
}

Yes this looks promising , as I figurate out I attach script to some empty GameObject, and then I do all my actions to that Object.
Thanks
