guiText/GameObject position

Questions & Answers
1

I try to set up a guiText above a gameobject and I realize that the position of one is linked to the position of the other:

oLoader.guiText.transform.position = new Vector2(0.2f, 0.2f);

This code places the guiText correctly but also acts on the gameobject and replace with the same coordinates

oLoader.transform.position = new Vector3(55f, 70f, -85f);

This code places the gameobject correctly in 3D space but guiText’ve been in and out of the screen

Have an idea? :slight_smile:

Sorry for my english, GoogleTrad is a good english Friend.

You can use a script from @Eric5h5 called ObjectLabel - click here to access it. It associates a GUIText to some object, and works even if the object moves.

guiText position X range is 0-1 and position Y range 0-1 too.

function Start ()
{
    this.transform.position = new Vector3(0.3f,0.7f,1.0f);
}

This code places in the guiText gameobject.

var oLoader : GameObject; // place your guiText

function Start ()
{
    oLoader.transform.position = new Vector3(0.5f,0.7f,1.0f);
}

Or you can places this code in a gameObject.

I think it can help you.
