How to display text on a gamebject?
Hi, I am quite new to unity.
In my game I have to display some text on a gameobject. Currently I am just trying to get it to work, but I can't. Let's say I want to display a single letter on a series of cubes/squares. How can I do this? I have tried creating a prefab "square" and added a default cube to it. Then I tried to add a component GUIText, which did nothing as well as a text mesh which also did nothing.
How can I display text on my gameobjects?
You could make a new object in a 3D image creator and place text on that and place it on the object. I am probably wrong for I am a noob with Unity.
Hey, check out this cool and easy to use GUI Object Label Script... I've used it and it's actually pretty useful...

Thank you very much for the link! :D In order to keep it up to date, I changed the "[RequireComponent (typeof (GUIText))]" to "[RequireComponent (typeof (Text))]" and added "using UnityEngine.UI", else it was just to add a UI "Text" object and add the script to it ins$$anonymous$$d of a "GUIText" object and add the script on it.
This depends on what purpose you want it for. You could just simply make a normal cube, and a 3D text. Move the text so that it is positioned in front of the cube the way you want it. Then make the text a child object of the cube by dragging it inside the cube (in the hierarchy panel).
Another way would be just to create a texture for the cube which has text in it :)
So, if this won't help please specify what are you going to use it for! (2D? 3D? Is it stationary or is it supposed to move?)
