How do you display a text box on the GUI after a trigger
So I'm just beginning and I'm writing a simple script so that when the player collides with an enemy it gets destroyed and i want to display a 'You Lost!'/Game over text. The collision happens, player gets destroyed but text doesnt show, why? or else teach me a better way of doing the same thing. Also showText is defined as a private boolean variable.
void OnCollisionEnter2D(Collision2D coll)
{
if (coll.gameObject.tag == "enemy")
{
Destroy(gameObject);
bool showText = true;
}
}
void OnGUI(bool showText)
{
if (showText == true)
GUI.Box(new Rect(0, 0, Screen.width, Screen.height), "You Lost");
}

use the new UI system : using UnityEngine.UI; :
public Text GameOver;
void Start(){
GameOver.gameObject.SetActive (false);
}
void OnCollisionEnter2D(Collision2D coll)
{
if (coll.gameObject.tag == "enemy")
{
Destroy(gameObject);
GameOver.gameObject.SetActive (true);
}
}
