I am very new to scripting, I have looked all over the internet for an answer to this question. I am making a word adventure type game and basically in this scene all I want is for text to appear after five seconds or so. Please help, I have been using c#, and it would be very helpful if you were to explain how the code for this works, and where I attach the script to! Thanks

Hi, @smlevitt05!
You need to create an empty game object and attach script like this :

	public GameObject TextObj;
	float TmStart;
	float TmLen=5f;

	// Use this for initialization
	void Start () {
		TmStart=Time.time;
	}
	
	// Update is called once per frame
	void Update () {
		if(Time.time>TmStart + TmLen) 
		{

			TextObj.SetActive (true);
		}
	}

After that drag and drop your text to “TextObj” field in the Inspector. Disable your text in inspector before starting.

Use coroutines to get delay in the execution of code.
