GUI Labels Overlap

Questions & Answers
1

I am trying to have gui labels display various statistical elements.
I seem to be missing something about changing the position of these, most of them are overlapping and their position will not change. And when I was changing the position on the first ones, I had to restart Unity to see some of the updates.

Here is the scripts (the important part anyway)

    var labelPos1 : Rect =  Rect(10,16,100,20);
var labelPos2 : Rect =  Rect(10,32,100,40);
var labelPos3 : Rect =  Rect(100,16,200,20);
var labelPos4 : Rect =  Rect(100,32,200,40);
var labelPos5 : Rect =  Rect(10,48,100,20);
var labelPos6 : Rect =  Rect(10,64,100,40);
var labelPos7 : Rect =  Rect(200,48,300,20);
var labelPos8 : Rect =  Rect(200,64,300,40);

    
function OnGUI()
{
         GUI.Label(labelPos1, "Strength:" + strength);
         GUI.Label(labelPos2, "Dexterity:" + dexterity); 
         GUI.Label(labelPos3, "Health:" + healthCurrent);
         GUI.Label(labelPos4, "Stamina:" + staminaCurrent); 
         GUI.Label(labelPos5, "S:" + strength);
         GUI.Label(labelPos6, "D:" + dexterity); 
         GUI.Label(labelPos7, "H:" + healthCurrent);
         GUI.Label(labelPos8, "S:" + staminaCurrent); 
}

Not sure about the problem with them not changing position, since the function is fine.
However, the overlapping is easily explained:

The rect is defined as (x,y,width,height). So if your first label is at y=16 and has a height of 20, its lower bounds extend to y=36. Since your label 2 starts at y=32 it’s overlapping 4 pixels. Similar for the rest of your labels.

I figured it out literally 2 minutes after I posted the question.

The problem was for some reason I needed to make the variables private.
