Disappearing text

I have some weird problems with text in Unity.

So in edit mode, it all looks fine right, the red text nicely shows up:


In the game preview window they also nicely show up:


But as soon as I run the game, all off the text disappears:


I have no idea what I'm doing wrong here. It's basically a game object with a canvas object as a child which contains a text object. The canvas object has a world object orientation.

Plus I have no idea what I'm doing I guess.

Thanks in advance,
Andreas

 

OK, I managed to fix it myself (finally). But if anybody is interested I will quickly write down what I discovered. The mistake basically boiled down to communication. mistake between me and the developer. We both thought we had to position the text label. So while I tried to position it using the canvas element, he positioned with code. As you can imagine, that does not work well together. So, in the end, I commented out his code and now it works.

We choose to remove his code because positioning the text inside the canvas elements gives a little bit more precision than using code it seems. But we are n00bs so don't take this as a recommendation
