hey guys,

i was wondering, is it possible to make a gui label dissapear after a certain amount of time???

i know how to use the GUI.Label() function, and that is what i am using, but i need it to dissapear after a couple of seconds of it appearing…

thanks

I would use an invoke or a coroutine to toggle a switch between on and off… something like

using UnityEngine;
using System.Collections;

public class example : MonoBehaviour { 
    private bool showLabel = false;

    public void Start() {
        Invoke("ToggleLabel", 2);
    }

    public void ToggleLabel() {
        showLabel = !showLabel;
    }

    public void OnGUI() {
        if (showLabel) {
            GUI.Label(new Rect(10, 10, 100, 20), "Hello World!");
        }
    }
}

private var ShowlLabel : boolean = true;

    function Start()
    {
           yield WaitForSeconds(your time limit);
           ShowLabel = false;

   function OnGUI()
    {
             if(ShowLabel)
             {
                 GUI.Label(new Rect(10, 10, 100, 20), "Hello World!");
            {
    }
