Where do I find UI Text?
I started watching a video on how to create a game where you roll the ball to collect the cubes. (I'm new at this; this is the first game I started). To display the score, I had to go to "UI Text" in the Hierarchy Project tab, but I could not locate it. I tried using GUI text, the only thing close enough to UI Text I saw, but it wouldn't work. I thought the steps for UI Text would be similar to what you would need to do in GUI Text, but I was wrong. Please help! This game needs to be done by next month and I cannot continue!!
Right click (RMB) in Hierarchy view => UI => Text
OR
In menu click GameObject => UI => Text
OR
In code you can access it through UnityEngine.UI.Text
If you can't find it like that^ then which version of Unity do you use?
$$anonymous$$ine doesn't show that. I have Unity 4- Version 4.5.1f3. It only displays GUI Text.
Will it erase my game so I'd have to make another one? How do I upgrade it?
If you use Personal version (and it seems like you do) - the newest v5 can be found HERE and older versions can be found HERE. Just install on top of your current version (e.g. same folder) or you can perform a clean install (delete current and then install new). Overwriting shouldn't cause any problems so that choice is up to you.
No it will not erase your project, unless you do it yourself. But keep in $$anonymous$$d that you might need to tweak your project afterwards, especially if you'll go for v5. If your project is not very complicated then migration shouldn't be painful, moreover Unity will ask you to let it self-upgrade your project and depending on its setup and code you might not even need to do anything at all, but in any case make sure to create a backup of your project before you upgrade, and that isn't related to Unity only - always backup your projects before you upgrade anything )) sometimes it might save you months of development.
This is all mine shows:
