use GUI functions

add something like:

var score = 0;

function OnGUI () { GUI.Box(Rect(10, 10, 100, 25), "score: " +score); }

inside the "" add whatever text you want to show before the number

(if you don't want anything just put "")

Then after "" put +var replace var with the name of your score variable whatever you want to display

Rect(10, 10, 100, 25) <-- you can change these numbers it works like this:

Rect(distance from left side, distance from top, width, height)

@Scribe Well this answer is cool, but i do not need a GUI.Box

i just need the test written onto maybe an LCD Clock hanging on a room's wall (epic example right there). Like if someone steps to that wall he can see the time update ON THE CLOC$$anonymous$$ ITSELF and not having a box pop up telling him the time...u know?
