Question by mmangual83 · Apr 03, 2012 at 11:26 PM · gui3dtextseconds

Okay, I made a checkpoint object and I want to display text right after the player collides with it. Now I have trided various ways to do this, but the closest things that have happened is that I have implemented GUIText to show an image with a message drawn on it.

 var yourGUItext : GUIText;
 
 function ShowGUIText()
 {
     yourGUItext.enabled = true;
     StopCoroutine("HideGUIText");
     StartCoroutine("HideGUIText");
 }
 
 function HideGUIText()
 {
     yield WaitForSeconds(2);
     
     yourGUItext.enabled = false;
 } 

ShowGUIText() is the function you should call to show the guitext. You can just place the content of the function in the place you currently display it. yourGUItext needed a reference to the GameObject on which you have the guitext you are displaying.
