how to script a timed GUI Label into my script
Hey guys,
I have this script so far, and what i want to do is make a timed GUI Label, so that when the player comes into range of the "objective" variable (this script is attached to the player) then it displays a GUI Label that only lasts for a couple of seconds....
var objective : Transform;
function OnGUI{
if (Vector3.Distance(transform.position, objective.position) < 3000){
}
}
I have tried using the yield method (http://unity3d.com/support/documentation/ScriptReference/index.Coroutines_26_Yield.html), but that doesn't seem to work entirely...
any answers would be greatly appreciated!!!!

var objective : Transform;
var showLabel : boolean = false;
var timeUntilHide : float;
function Update()
{
if (Vector3.Distance(transform.position, objective.position) < 3000 )
{
if ( !showLabel )
StartCotourine("ShowAndWaitUntilHide");
}
else if ( showLabel )
{
StopCoroutine("ShowAndWaitUntilHide");
showLabel = false;
}
}
function OnGUI
{
if ( showLabel )
GUI.Label(Rect(10,10,20,20), "MyText");
}
function ShowAndWaitUntilHide()
{
timeUntilHide = 5;
showLabel = true;
while ( timeUntilHide > 0 )
{
// Wait 1 frame before returning to this loop
yield;
timeUntilHide -= Time.deltaTime;
}
showLabel = false;
}
i tested the script above, and the gui text appears when i get into within 3000 of the objective, but it doesn't dissapear???? how would i make it dissapear after about 5 seconds????
thanks

I've changed the script. Also - make sure you do not set showLabel to false in another location as here.
i don't know if i've done something wrong, but it all works fine, until i get in range of the target. when i get in range, it appears fine, but after the 5 seconds it will flicker, and then reappear, and repeat... it will stay for another 5 seconds and then flicker???? i've tried having the "Show Label" variable ticked and unticked in the inspector, as well as manually entering the "Time Until Hide" variable

Did you copy the new script? I've made a big change here...
