change position of Guilayout Text field. [SOLVED , Alex SAVED the DAY]

[Michaelb]

I have been busting my head in order to find a way to move it , put it somewhere else on the screen.

Also hide it and unhide it at will.

 

[Michaelb]

Please don't tell me that there is no way of doing this....

Unity's GUILayout system is designed to control the layout of controls using rules:
http://docs.unity3d.com/ScriptReference/GUILayout.html

You position your gui using layout actions like Begin/End Horizontal, Begin/End Vertical, Flexible Space etc.

If you want to just place a control explicitly with a Rect use GUI actions instead of GUILayout actions.

It took me 5 to 10 minutes to figure it out

At start we put guilayout begin area  (here we add a rect variable)

At the middle guilayouttext field

At the end we close with guilayouttext end area.

What it does , is making a rec that will "drive" the guilayouttext field !!!!

Thousand of thanks Alex.
