Moving a Text object in script
Hello everyone, In my current project, I have 3 Text Objects. After a certain condition, I want to move one of them to a new position. This should be very simple, but for some reason, after this condition and I try to move the Text Object, it winds up going to an extremely random position that is out of the scene view.
using System.Collections;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using UnityEngine;
using UnityEngine.UI;
public class AssignManagerScript : MonoBehaviour {
public Text assign_text_1;
public Text assign_text_2;
public Text assign_text_3;
// Use this for initialization
void Awake () {
assign_text_2.enabled = false;
assign_text_3.enabled = false;
}
// Update is called once per frame
void Update () {
if(ManagerScript.total_attacks > 10){
Vector3 pos = assign_text_1.transform.position;
pos.x = -282;
assign_text_1.transform.position = pos;
}
}
}
Can anyone tell me what I am doing wrong? Thanks very much in advance.

Text objects don't use the standard transform, they use a RectTransform. Try getting that and modifying it instead of the root transform object for better results.
Thanks very much! I was able to get what I need with this in the if statement:
RectTransform assign_text_1RT = assign_text_1.GetComponent<RectTransform>();
assign_text_1RT.anchoredPosition = new Vector3(-288f, -494.5f, 0f);
