Position Text at gameObject position
I am having trouble moving my text anywhere except the default start position. I think it may be because I am not changing game position to GUI world position but I don't know how to change it correctly (I am very new to this).
It is a 2d game.
Here is my code
void OnTriggerEnter2D(Collider2D other) {
Text tempTextBox = Instantiate(addScoreText, other.transform.position, Quaternion.identity) as Text;
tempTextBox.transform.SetParent(renderCanvas.transform, false);
tempTextBox.text = updateScore.ToString();
}
addScoreText is a text prefab.
So the text shows but not at the right position.
Any ideas as to how to make this work?
Thanks

For reference to anyone else, this is how I did it...
public Camera Cam;
RectTransform CanvasRect;
public Canvas canvas;
Vector3 screenPos = cam.WorldToScreenPoint(other.transform.position);
Text tempTextBox = Instantiate(addScoreText, other.transform.position, Quaternion.identity) as Text;
Vector3 ViewportPosition=Cam.WorldToViewportPoint(other.transform.position);
Vector2 WorldObject_ScreenPosition=new Vector2(
((ViewportPosition.x*CanvasRect.sizeDelta.x)-5.0f),
((ViewportPosition.y*CanvasRect.sizeDelta.y)+16.0f));
tempTextBox.transform.SetParent(renderCanvas.transform, false);
tempTextBox.rectTransform.position = WorldObject_ScreenPosition;
tempTextBox.text = "+"+updateScore.ToString();
Good day.
I recoomend to instantiateas gameobject only with the parent, and then move it.
GameObject tempTextBox = Instantiate(addScoreText, other.transform.position) as GameObject;
tempTextBox.transform.localposition = (PositionYouwant refered to its parent)
tempTextBox. text = "What you want to say"
Bye! :D
Accept the answer if hellped :D
Hey I am using Unity 4.7 and for the sake of finishing this game I will stick with it for now. This throws some errors that may be associated with the version. Any help for 4.7? Thanks
