Question by KnightRiderGuy · Dec 07, 2015 at 09:11 PM · uitextscrollinguifontmarquee

How Too Scrolling UI Text Message Centre

I'm wondering what the best C# way to do this would be. Basically I want to do a scrolling repeating text marquee using the UI text NOT ON GUI TEXT. I have several buttons that represent different devices, if one device is activated it would update the scrolling message marquee using the UI Text on the canvas. Has anyone done something like this?

See this project I made, I hope this is what you are looking for. Put all your content in the content gameobject and at the screen gameobject you can change the scrolling direction(higher value is higher speed). Link: https://www.dropbox.com/s/yekfxmm01zhp76l/UnityInfiniteScroll.zip?dl=0
