Popup text in certain area when clicked

Questions & Answers

Hi guys,

I am completely new to Unity and would like some help.

I am trying to make a script / action in C# where if a button is clicked a text will appear for about 0.5 seconds within a certain area and then disappear.

Are you able to point me to the right direction or possibly give me a step by step guide on what to write? or a code with //comments above that i can follow and understand what is going on.

Thanks

EDITED Well try something this way:

   using UnityEngine;
   using System.Collections;
   using UnityEngine.UI;
   using System;
   
   public class OnClick : MonoBehaviour {
   
       public GameObject popUP; // prefab to instantiate
       public Canvas canvas; // father canvas
       private Vector2 position = new Vector2(0,0);

       void Start()
        {
               position.x = Random.Range(-10f, 10f);
               position.y = Random.Range(-10f, 10f);
         }
   
       public void PopUP ()
   
           {
               GameObject inst = (GameObject) Instantiate(popup, position, Quaternion.identity);
               inst.transform.SetParent(canvas.transform);
               Destroy(inst, 1.0f);
           }
 }

Your button must have this script linked and activate the Popup function.
