Add text on top of a gameobject. What is the best way?

Question

Okay, so I'm making a 'Piano Tiles' game where you learn the tables. I've finally made a working movement using transform.Translate. Now I want a random number generated on top of the tiles (each tile has it's own gameobject). I tried GUIText component but it's generated really weird and it's moving like four times as fast as the normal tiles.

Is there any other way to add a simple piece of text on a gameobject which also needs to move with the same speed as the gameobject.

Thanks.

You can use 3D Text/Text Mesh, or you can not parent your GUIText and instead have it follow an a game object.

 var toFollow : Transform;
 
 function Update() {
      transform.position = Camera.main.WorldToViewportPoint(toFollow.position);
 }
