How to add GUIText with fixed position

Questions & Answers
1

Simple enough, I am trying to add a GUIText element to my scene with a fixed position on the top-left corner.

I found this related post here for positioning, but when I use that code in a js script attached to the GUIText element I am getting a nice:

BCE0019: 'position' is not a member of 'UnityEngine.GUIText'.

Any help appreciated!

As SilverTabby suggests (transform.position), or guiText.pixelOffset, depending what you mean by “fixed position”.

If you just need uneditable text, you can use:

function OnGUI () {

GUI.Label (Rect (10, 10, 100, 20), “Your text here”);

}

The numbers are the X and Y coordinates of the upper left corner of the text box followed the X and y size of the box.

Or if the text needs to be edited:

var stringToEdit : String = “Your text to edit here”;

function OnGUI () {

stringToEdit = GUI.TextField (Rect (10, 10, 200, 20), stringToEdit, 25);

}

The 25 is the maximum length to edit.
