GUI text is missing

guys i'm super new to this can any one help me how to find GUI text cause its not appearing in the create game object menu please i need help

thanks in advance

 

Is it a Empty Game Object with a GUIText component attached?
If yes, the X and Y must not be less than 0 and greater than 1. Why, you may ask.
Well, because in this case the position will be treated as in a 2D space (X and Y only) and in viewport mode.
Think of viewport as %:
0, 0 is lower left
0.5, 0.5 is the middle of the screen
1, 1 is upper right

Try setting the position to 0.5 x, 0.5 y.

More (and precise) information here: http://unity3d.com/learn/tutorials/projects/space-shooter/counting-points

Now if you have a Canvas object with a UI Text object, it is a different story.
Click on the Canvas object, and on the Canvas component, set the Render Mode (by default it is Screen Space - Overlay) to Screen Space - Camera. Set the Render Camera to your Main Camera, and you are good to go.

Good luck.

 

thanks for the reply man ... apparently i had to create a new game object add the GUI Text component to it .. i thought i would find it ready in the create menu like in the tutorial... XD

do you know how can i save it so i can use it any time later without the need to redo these steps ??

thanks

 

You can save a prefab with a GUI Text so that you have it handy if you need it. Just drag the Gamobject with the GUI Text component into the project view to save it as a prefab.

By the way... unity did remove it form the menu because its kind of old and you are probably better of using the new GUI.
