Giving a GUI Text a fixed position

How can I go about giving a GUI Text a fixed position? so when you change the size of the screen, it adjusts to keep the same distance from the edges?

 

I myself went through that hassle a few weeks ago...

GUIText is actually easier than what I had to go through... since it's position is normalized, you can just do this:

Code (csharp):

1.  
2.  
3. guiText.position = new Vector3(10f / (float)Screen.width, 10f / (float)Screen.height, 0f);
4.  
5.  

this will put it always at 10 pixels from the left border and 10 pixels from the top (or bottom, can't remember) border
if you're coding in C# those casts are necessary, since Screen.width/height are ints... in JS, there's no such hassles

Cheers

 

aah thanks just having some trouble

forgive my noobynes >.<

 

hey it says that the GUIText does not contain a definition for position ???

 

You should use TextMesh over GUIText now: https://docs.unity3d.com/Manual/class-TextMesh.html or Unity's UI system.
