Unity 4.6 SpaceShooter Tutorial

I am just finishing up the SpaceShooter tutorial and am down to creating the scoring feature. the tutorial syas to go to the Hierarchy tab and select the GUIText. There not a GUItext option on my 4.6 version only text and it wont copy over to the score text portion of my gamecontroller in the inspector . Has anyone encountered and overcame this?

Thanks,
Bruce

 

Create an Empty "GameObject" then select Add Component/Rendering/GUIText in the inspector. I noticed that GUIText disappeared from the "Create" menu in the 4.6 update.

 

So I was able to add the GUI text but it is a child of Canvas and adds Event system as well. I don't mind this so much but I can't seem to get the score moved from the center of the screen. Selecting Score Text in the Hierarchy seems to allow it to move around the canvas but the canvas is way off in the middle of nowhere in the Scene view (and perpendicular to the game view as well). Is there an update on how to arrange this with the new version of Unity?

Thanks

 

Also, I can't drag the scoreText onto the Game Controller Script for some reason

 

Don't confuse GUIText with the new UI Text component.

Solutions are described in this thread: http://forum.unity3d.com/threads/space-shooter-tutorial-q-a.222119/

Either use the GUIText component from the add component menu on a new empty game object and follow the tutorial as it stands, or convert to the new UI tools as stated in that thread.
