so ive always wanted to do this, As a reference im going to use halo 3. look at the gun, it has a bullet gui and some compass or what ever. i was wondering if it is possible to make the gui text and use it for the gun so when the gun reloads it follows the gun not just sits on the screen in one spot, any ideas?

sorry man but i don’t really understand the question.
text to follow the gun? can you draw some lines on the picture to point to what you mean? 
Regards,
Joaquin
I am pretty sure that in your example there is no gui texture used.
The weapon model probably uses two additional materials at the display part of the model, one for each digit. Then a sprite texture with the numbers 0-9 is mapped onto them with varying offset controlled by a script.
yea i can see ur point that could work, i just thought there was an easier way :S thanks
