How to make a Label a variable

Question

I have been attempting to make a GUI Label a variable - but it always errors.. Am I doing anything wrong?

 using UnityEngine;
 using System.Collections;
 
 public class clue : MonoBehaviour {
 
     void Start () {
         Screen.SetResolution(1024, 768, true);
     }
     
     void Update () {
 
     }
     void OnGUI () {
         // Main Menu.
         var height =  Screen.height;
         var width  =  Screen.width;
         var label =  GUI.Label (new Rect (width/2, height/2, 100, 200), "Menu:");
 
 
     }
 }

If you wish to turn it off after 5 seconds, the easiest way would be to use a boolean flag and turn it off.

You can use a coroutine or Invoke to set the flag off after some seconds.

void Start () {

     Invoke("turnLabelOff",5f);
 }
 
 bool flag = true;
 void OnGUI()
 {
     if(flag)
     {
         GUI.Label(new Rect(0f,0f,100f,20f),"Off in 5 seconds");
     }
 }
 
 void turnLabelOff()
 {
     flag = false;
 }
