Title: How to make Floating Scores? [SOLVED]
Post by: Neikke on June 12, 2019, 07:31:12 PM

Guys, please help!

I want to create a popping up score numbers like they have it in Angry Birds for example. What would be the right workflow for that kind of task?

As I imagine it - my Coin gets collided with Player, which triggers 2D event: Creates a text "100 POINTS" at the origin of that Coin and at the Size. And then score number disappears. So, very simple thing.

I already have UI Camera with Canvas inside of it. So should I create my text there? Or should I create an empty object with text component added to it? Or is there an action which would create any text for me wherever I want? Sorry if it sounds stupid.. I just really need some heads up.

I also searching for this. Btw, found this one. I think, we can enable/disable actions to display score. or Have to animation. I didn't tried it yet. Check this https://hutonggames.com/playmakerforum/index.php?topic=9582.msg45480#msg45480

heavygunner, to be honest didn't understand anything there, though I imported the project given in that post. The post is also quite outdated so not sure everything works as it should there.

UPDATE: sorry - me stupid. Forgot to import Playmaker. So it looks to be working actually. At least in a clean simple project. Gonna try it in my game to see if it works too! Thanks!

Hi,

Your first stop is to check out the sample uGuiTextFollowGameObject on the Ecosystem.

 it will give you all the keys to position a UI text or panel above a 3d object, then you can animate that object up easily by moving its position up.

Bye,

The way i achieved this is i Animated an object (+1) with position, Scale properties and then simply spawn them on the right spot.
