Displaying HUD Feedback Messages, Is This Code Ok?

Hey all, I need to display feedback messages to the player when he achieves specific goals. I decided it was time to write a robust HUD Message class which handles all the messages I need to show the player during gameplay, instead of hacking together a few lines of code everytime I need to display messages!

I wasn't sure how to implement it (static, singleton etc...), and what I ended up doing is using a static function that initializes all the needed members, and showing the message in the class's Start() function. I need some feedback on my implementation because I am not sure this is the best way to do it, or even a decent way...what do you guys think?

Here's my code below:

 using UnityEngine;
 using System.Collections;
 
 public class SRMessage : MonoBehaviour
 {
     #region Variables
     private string _defaultName            = "TempUIMessage";
     private float _defaultTimer            = 3.0f;
     private Vector3 _defaultPos            = Vector3.zero;
     
     private GameObject _labelPrefab;
     
     public static string s_MsgText;
     public static float s_MsgTimer;
     public static Vector3 s_MsgPos;
     public static string s_MsgName;
     #endregion
     
     #region Properties (getters and setters)
     
     #endregion
     
 
     // =================================== START FUNCTION =================================== //
     void Start ()
     {
         // Runs as soon as the script is added to a game object.
         UILabel lbl = gameObject.GetComponentInChildren<UILabel>();
         gameObject.name = s_MsgName;
         lbl.transform.position = s_MsgPos;
         lbl.MakePixelPerfect();
         lbl.text = s_MsgText;
         
         Invoke( "DestroyMessage", s_MsgTimer );
     }
     
     
     // =================================== CUSTOM FUNCTIONS =================================== //
     // Call from anywhere to show a HUD message
     public static void ShowMessage( string msgText, float msgTimer, Vector3 msgPos, string msgName )
     {
         GameObject hudPanel        = Managers.HUDManager.StatsHUD.HudObject;
         GameObject labelPrefab    = null;
         if( hudPanel )
         {
                         // if HUD panel exist, use the LabelOnly prefab
             labelPrefab = NGUITools.AddChild( hudPanel, Resources.Load( "LabelOnly", typeof( GameObject )) as GameObject );
         }
         else
         {
                         // if HUD panel doesn't exist, we need a full hud hierarchy (HUDRoot->Camera->Panel->UILabel)
             labelPrefab = Instantiate( Resources.Load( "UILabel", typeof( GameObject ))) as GameObject;
         }
         
         s_MsgText = msgText;
         s_MsgTimer = msgTimer;
         s_MsgPos = msgPos;
         s_MsgName = msgName;
         
         labelPrefab.AddComponent<SRMessage>();
     }
     
     
     private void DestroyMessage( )
     {
         NGUITools.Destroy( this.gameObject );
     }
 }

I should mention I use NGUI for all my UI/HUD stuff. What i did is create 2 Prefabs, 1 with only a GameObject with a UILabel component attached (use when main HUD is present), and 1 with a NGUI HUD hierarchy setup (which contains the Root, Camera, Panel etc...). I use one or the other depending on whether or not a main HUD hierarchy already exist.

Comments - good or bad - are very welcome! I'm trying to learn the better ways to do things in Unity so don't be afraid to hurt my feelings ;)

Thanks! Stephane
