Tiny Text Renderer broken ?

Hi,

Started looking into Project Tiny today, and I'm trying to use the Tiny Text Renderer component.
I have launched the TinyRacing sample which uses this component, but it unfortunately crashes at startup:

NullReferenceException: Object reference not set to an instance of an object

I tried in the 2D Entities Starter project, with the same error.

Thanks for your help

 

Ok my bad it's one of these features that doesn't work in editor.

I got passed this error, however I can't find a way to display a text in front of a sprite:



I tried:
- Two cameras with different culling flags. I can't get culling flags to be interpreted by project tiny
- Massive Z difference between the two objects
- Set the Render Queue of the Sprite to a very low value
- Change the Render Layer of the sprite to something before 'Default'

It always stays in front in the first frame, then pops right behind.

It works perfectly if I use a Quad instead of a Sprite though.

 

Ok my bad again, I realized after browsing through the forums that Text / 2D is not supported yet.
