How do you add text to GameObject?
The first way I tried is to create a gameObject and then put a cube(shape) and a canvas with Text in it. I set the position of shape, canvas(world space) and text to (0,0,0) so that they will stay together.
How do I put UI in unity?
Right click on the Panel in your hierarchy and choose UI –> Text. Place your text wherever you want. I placed mine in the horizontal center of the panel and above the vertical center.

How do I add text to an object in unity?

How to get UI Text to follow an object?
I guess the idea is that if you only give the UI element one place to put itself, it has to put itself in that place. Maybe. Apparently I don’t quite understand the way anchoredposition, anchorMax, and anchorMin work. However it works, the UI text does now follow the character around as intended.
What can you do with ui.text.text?
Use this to access or edit the message displayed in Text. Use other Text properties such as size, font, and alignment to change the appearance of the text. These properties modify the text in this example: // UI.Text.text example // // A Space keypress changes the message shown on the screen. // Two messages are used.
Can a UI element be attached to an object?
I understand that a UI element can’t be directly attached to an object because it has to exist on a canvas, so I tried writing a simple script that would move the UI text depending on where the object is on the screen.
Where can I find gameobject.find ( ) in Unity?
One that’s probably been asked a million times, but I can’t seem to locate the answer by searching the forums (My search-fu is lacking)… I have a Text object in my canvas and a script attached to a game manager (empty) object to deal with various things.
