How to make a GUI bow that displays distance to nearest game object with tag

Scripting
1

Hi I am having some trouble finding a script that will allow me to have a Gui box that will display the distance between my player and the nearest game object. I am making a large scavenger hunt like game and having only limited scripting knowlege Im not sure how I would do that. All I have so far is

using UnityEngine;
using System.Collections;

public class Findr : MonoBehaviour {

public float distance; //distanceto target
public GameObject Target; //current target

void Update () {
//findtargetwith tag
Target = GameObject.FindGameObjectWithTag(“Paper”);

//finddistanceto target
distance = Vector3.Distance(transform.position, Target.transform.position);
}
}

From this point on im not sure what to do
Many thanks

Check out the Unity tutorial series about the Canvas UI system, and please use Code Tags when you post code snippets.

You can create a text element on screen in the editor, and then in code set the text to your distance value.
