I'm using Unity 2017.2.0f3 and when I use GUIText
, it is showing "this component is part of the legacy UI system and will be removed in a future release." So what is the best alternative I should use?
The Text
component replaced it. It's part of the new UI system called uGUI.
Go to GameObject ---> UI ---> Text and Unity will create a Canvas with a GameObject as a child. That child GameObject will have a Text
component. You can learn more about the new UI system here.
Example of how to modify it from code:
public Text myText;
void Start()
{
myText.text = "This is my text";
}
