Unity UI Fade In/out text after zooming.

Hey there!

I am currently trying to make a simulation of our solar system in Unity. Right now I am dealing with the nametags for the planets. I got the text to follow the planet!

My question: Is it possible to make that text fade out when I zoom in close to my planet. And fade it in when I am far away.

This is the code I currently have for the text:

Code (CSharp):

1. using System.Collections;
2. using System.Collections.Generic;
3. using UnityEngine;
4. using UnityEngine.UI;
5.  
6. public class PlanetTag : MonoBehaviour
7. {
8.     public Text nameLable;
9.  
10.  
11.     // Update is called once per frame
12.     void Update()
13.     {
14.         Vector3 namePose = Camera.main.WorldToScreenPoint(this.transform.position);
15.         nameLable.transform.position = namePose;
16.     }
17. }

How would I go about implementing this fade system?

 

I would approach this this the other way around. I would have a list/array of all of the planets, their names and positions, then I would find the planets on the list based on distance and use that list to show the names...

There's a star map example somewhere, and if I find it, I'll post it.
