GuiText: Where to find in menu?

Unity Engine
1

Hi,

I’m following this tutorial and it mentions: Create Other > GUI Text from the GameObject menu

However I don’t find this in the menu in version 4.6.1. I only find Create → UI → Text which is not the same I guess? Can I find Gui Text somewhere?

And if I need to use the Text one how does this change the following part of code? (I guess the underlined bold part of code needs to change then? Into what?)

public class Timer : MonoBehaviour
{
public GUIText timeText;

Thanks!

You can add it via the component menu, but it would be better to use the new GUI system. So skip that tutorial and try some of these instead.
