[Solved] Question - OnGui Alignment Text

Hello,

I've got this script "OnGui.Box"
I wonder how I do so regardless of the size of the "box" in the game text is aligned to the left?

Thanks a lot!

Code (CSharp):

1. // Converted from UnityScript to C# at http://www.M2H.nl/files/js_to_c.php - by Mike Hergaarden
2. // Do test the code! You usually need to change a few small bits.
3.  
4. using UnityEngine;
5. using System.Collections;
6.  
7. public class TimerCounter : MonoBehaviour {
8.  
9.  
10.     float timer = 300.0f;
11.  
12.     void  Update (){
13.  
14.         timer -= Time.deltaTime;
15.  
16.         if(timer <= 0) {
17.             timer = 0;
18.         }
19.  
20.     }
21.  
22.     void  OnGUI (){
23.  
24.         GUI.Box(new Rect(10, 40, 500, 20), "Time: " + timer.ToString("0"));
25.  
26.     }
27.  
28. }

 

OnGUI is obsolete for most use cases. Consider switching to the new UI.

I've seen that.
More to be honest I consider complex.
I want something simple like to appear in the game.

Thanks a lot!

 

add canvas, add textbox, drag align where you want on the screen, drag size how you want, check the left align option in the font settings.

Code (csharp):

1.  
2. //sample code
3. include UnityEngine.UI;
4.  
5. Text myScoreField;
6.  
7. myScoreField.text = "Score: " + someValue;
8.  

might be slightly more complex for something as basic as displaying a single line of text, but once you start getting into anything even slightly more involved you'll be thankful of the new UI system.
