    Well, I imagine you would need a camera designated to the GUI. Then, I would get the position of the enemy or what have you in the game world camera and convert it to the GUI camera position. Use an update to constantly monitor the positions.


    Look up WorldToScreenPoint();

    My suggestion does not require pro.
