I previously made a UI Text element that showed two labels on each end of the camera view that read “Score:”, and below said labels, would be the value of the players score. Of course, this value is suppose to be blank. However, for some reason all of these labels are not showing up in play mode nor in scene view. I’m also getting very odd errors in the console. Here is a picture to provide context, along with the errors:
This all seemed to occur after I made a prefab of the Canvas. I’m not sure if that has anything to do with it. Any idea what’s going on?
Edit: Due to the weird errors, I suspect this may be a ‘glitch’ with the engine itself, and I fear I may have to create a new project. Could this be true?
You probably don’t have to create a new project. One possible thing is your text might be to large for the box it’s in. Try making it smaller and see if it appears. You could also delete it and create new ones.
If you can clear the errors, you’re probably fine. I honestly don’t know what those mean, so I can’t give you much advice on those. Personally never tried to make a prefab from a canvas, so I’m not sure what results you’d get from that. I do see your canvas is red, which means you deleted the prefab without disconnecting the prefab from it first.
I can’t offer much more advice, but I doubt you’ve lost everything. But, always remember to make backup copies! Just in case.
Thanks for your suggestions! It turns out that when I made my canvas into a prefab, it must have shrunk the size of the text boxes, because the text wasn’t able to fit in the box like you suggested. The thing that caught me off guard was, along with those odd errors, whenever I built the game and tested it, the UI showed up anyway.
P.S. I will certainly be making more backups in the future, in case I do ever run into a more critical issue!
The ui option isnt there and it isnt in the game object option either but no one will even
