Thats the GUI part done, youll be glad to hear then type in the offsets in the PosX / Pos Y boxes as 10 and -10. So, if you hold down SHIFT key, and ALT key, and then click on the top left box thats highlighted there, it will shift the whole text and anchors to top left.

press it, and the rest of the window pops up. With your text selected in the heirarchy, look at the inspector, and you will see the following button that doesnt look like a button at first glance. Your next thing you want to do is to move it to the top left, this is slightly different than before. The text displayed, currently 'New Text', you can change this so it shows 'Score Text', for now this will do as it will be changed later via script. Once its on, highlight it in the heirarchy and rename it to ScoreText.įrom here you can see all its info in the inspector, there will be a text color picker, change that to white. you should see your text item now in the lower right, in a sort of grey text. You will see once you do this it will automatically create a new Canvas and EventSystem object for you, this is the defaults required for the new UI, were not going to worry about them for now, just know that any text or stuff requires a canvas for the UI elements to be attached to. when working with the new UI always best to do this in 2D mode, then once your done with the UI stuff, press the 2D to switch it back off again. OK as far as the text goes for the rollaball, for the purposes of getting text to display during that lesson, theres only really minor changes that I had to apply to get it working.įirst off, just for the time being, press the '2D' toggle button at the top of the editor window. but ill try and do my best to walk you through it. The GUIText is still avaiable under the component menu, but i think it would be alot easier if you had a stab at the new UI stuff.
