451 PointsHave a hard time display an text object in the game
I am trying to place the life of the character just like the score is places in the game. And I created a text variable that holds the life of the character. But then the life and the score ended up being place the same place in the game. In other words, they are overlapping with each other. is there any way to move down a text object I created used to display the life of the character? Thx.

So it sounds like you may have placed the new item at the same location as the score ("text"). But if you give it sufficiently different coordinates it should not overlap.

451 PointsI fixed it. I was being stupid. I forgot to change the coordinate of the text object when I was creating it. Thanks a lot.
