How to link a text to an entity

Hello guys, it may be a noob question but I can't find a proper way to link a text (I want to writte position on an hexagonal map at the moment), with a entity (which are the hex cells). Because in some examples I found, it need a transform, I mean a object of type transform, not a float4x4.

Thanks
Have a nice day

 

Do we talk about UnityEngine.UI.Text or how does you Text look like?

EDIT:
If you use pure and you want to use a Sprite:
Take a look at:
https://forum.unity.com/threads/instanced-sprite-renderer-example.525235/

 

A sprite to write some numbers? I mean is there a way to create some custom texture with the code to generate the text I want to?
But yeah the tutorial I was looking into use UnityEngine.UI.Text to simply display numbers on the cells. But to link it it use a transform. So maybe a system to translate my entities float4x4? Kinda sad though

 

The only solution I see right now is create a component "LinkedText" and a system who update the poition of the text whitout using the transform of a game object.
Nobody have already tried to put some text on mesh used by entities?

 

Well I think ecs don't support RectTransform yet. So you have to write your own.

But you can take a look into the CopyTransfromToGameObjectSystem
You'll find it under:
Packages/com.unity.entities/Unity.Transforms.Hybrid/

 

Thanks I'll stay on doing a custom one who change text position on movement.
But I was to curious to check what you said, but I can't find where is Packages/com.unity.entities/Unity.Transforms.Hybrid/
Yeah I'm a newbie ^^

 

You can also right click this folder and click on "Show in Explorer".

You should also have a look at the Test folders there for some usecases or implementation needs!
