RPG text box damage numbers

hi I want to be able to make little text boxes appear on top of objects in the scene just like in mmorpgs, for a reference look at this link

can anyone help me?

simplest approach is a… “GameObject - Create Other - 3D Text”

you might want to checkout the upcoming gui changes, unity did a youtube vid on it. Gui elements in the 3d space of the scene etc. are shown off in it.

(no idea when it’s coming though!).

ok I’ve taken a look at 3d text but how do I change the text in code

Edit: Ok I’ve studied it enough to get what I want
