Adding text for a minimap camera to see

Viewed 83

I am making a Battle Royale game using unity. My problem is with Text Mesh Pro (TMP), I heard the you could move it out of the canvas so the player can see floating text. So, I created some text, moved it out of the canvas, and my camera couldn’t see it. Then, I tried to create an empty game object and assigned the TMP component to it, my text wasn’t even visible in the scene view. I tried both Perspective and Orthographic cameras, but none of the show the text. My unity version is 2020.1.11. What am I doing wrong?

Does your empty object contain a mesh renderer? It seems like mesh renderer is required to show the text.

If you only need to renderer it in canvas, consider using the UI alternative TextMeshPro Text instead.

Please follow this guide to deploy TextMesh Pro in your game.
