Space Shooter Tutorial GUI is not working

Hey,

The Tutorial on Space Shooter has the step (3.2) to create a counting score with a GUI. Apparently GUI is outdated, so it doesn’t work the way the video says. There is a displayed message to do something else:

To Create a GUIText GameObject in 4.6 and later…

  • Create a new Empty GameObject
  • Add a GUIText component…
    • from the Add Component Button
    • from the Component Menu
      … found at: Component/Rendering/GUIText
  • Update the GUIText’s transform position to (0.5, 0.5, 0.0) to place it in the middle of the screen.
  • Update the GUIText.text with “Score Text”.

Problem is: That doesn’t work either. The GameObject never shows text. I don’t know if I am doing something wrong or if the Help is outdated as well. Can someone elaborate? have been working on that problem for over an hour now…

Thanks

EDIT: Here is the video, it starts with the problematic section Counting Points - 14 - Space Shooter - Unity Official Tutorials - YouTube
