Help, spawned cavas UI text not visible.

[hollow fjord]

Hey guys, I have a situation where I manage to spawn a cavasUitext but when the game is running even if it spawns OR I drag the prefab to the scene it is invisible.

here not in play mode

Ah looking at the RectTransforms for both again, what if you manually reset your dragged prefab in the scene to 0-0-0? (assuming the position of your Canvas in the scene is in view)

[hollow fjord]

During p+lay mode?

[paper quiver]

Yeah

[hollow fjord]

actualçly now when I dragged it .. it appeared.. but the spawned ones are not visible

ok i know what is happening

it is spawning there

for some reason

and I said to spawn at player position

ops enemy

position

            Instantiate(aboveHeadDamage, new Vector3(transform.position.x, transform.position.y + 2, 0), Quaternion.identity);

One tip that may or may not help, all UI objects will use a RectTransform, and it has a anchoredPosition and anchoredPosition3D, you maybe want the latter, or you maybe want to use the world position of your Canvas + some offset, if the canvas is already positioned where you want, though that code snippet looks like your just spawning it at the position of whatever that script is attached to

hmm ok thank you.. i will maybe try another aproach trying to do a research now on how can I do what I want migyht have another way that doesnt use UI

I think empty object with textmesh component just found something about it

might work

If you only need 3D text in the game world, there is I believe GameObject > 3D Object > Text - then you could use regular world space positioning on that since it doesnt rely on a Canvas

yeah I am trying to use the textmeshpro, but its invisible in the screen too not sure why

Looks like your missing a Font Asset on it

[hollow fjord]

well if I click there

there is no font to choose

wierd..

something simple seems so hard

even if I click on the eye where it says 6 invisible

nothing happens

ok

now I did it

there was a hidden window behind unity

to import font assets

i clicked it now the text appear

all great

thank you for your time my friend

Nice. I was just trying to find where the font should be, but you figured it out too fast

Do you have choices? You should have Ariel and/or Liberation Sans

And there are a bunch on the asset store for free, or you can download any .ttf format font

[hollow fjord]

no i just have 1 choise

actually 23 but they look the same

that appeared

clicked on both

now i have like 7..8 options

[coarse flame]

Maybe they are still downloading? Should be pretty quick though. I dunno

[hollow fjord]

maybe..even tho its fine now i will try to make it spawn

as it shoudl lets see

[hollow fjord]

Working like a charm now.. thank u !
