Code gets deleted, that's the anti spam bot, it removes unformatted code

You can just use standard canvas to do this type of stuff
dusty swift
Anyway, TextMeshPro is perfectly fine, old Text is legacy, deprecated

Personally I don't use it, but it sounds like it's confusing them

how do i do that then
dusty swift
You don't, use TextMeshPro

I think TMPro text is crispier better looking overall it is worth using
spice plover
You don't, use TextMeshPro
you mean in the code right
dusty swift
Keep what you already have, only change the code so it accepts TMP
It's a 10-second edit

you need to add the TMPro library
spice plover
TMP_Text.text = player.position.z.ToString();
dusty swift
By deleting that, you'll get an error
Where it says public Text
That's what you're going to replace. Text refers to the old text, now deprecated
Add a new directive at the top, so it recognizes Text Mesh Pro types: using TMPro;

k
dusty swift
Then, instead of public Text myText;, have public TMP_Text myText;
And that's about it, you just have to drag-drop now
spice plover
k imma try it rn
do i keep this line
void Update()
{
TMP_Text.text = player.position.z.ToString();
or do i change the first part
dusty swift
You change what's before the dot so it's the same as the variable name you just changed
Still using my example, that would be myText.text = ...
dusty swift
Nice! I'll let you archive the threads you created so it doesn't flood the list too much.
There should be an "Archive Thread" option in that menu:

yeh

(I don't have it since I didn't create it)
