Question on retrieving mass from an object.

Hey guys, this is my first post here on the forums.

I'm currently working on a game that involves momentum, which is mass x velocity,

I need to display the mass, velocity, and momentum of your character object. How would I retrieve the mass/velocity from the objects script and display it on the GUI?

Thanks,

 

Mass and velocity are both public properties of the 'rigid body' class, and can be read directly.

For displaying the values on screen, GUI/GUILayout.Label() would probably be the easiest solution.

 

Thanks for responding Jesse,

I'm able to display Text on the screen now. But I'm still unsure on how to make the value appear. I'm used to java, and when using java and you want to display, say the mass of an object, I would write:

System.out.println("MASS: " + mass); //Mass is a variable.

So I have:

GUI.Label (Rect (9, 400, 100, 20), "MASS: ");

but I can't do,

GUI.Label (Rect (9, 400, 100, 20), "MASS: " + mass);

So, how would I display the certain mass of a certain object in the gameworld?

 

Try:

Code (csharp):

1. GUI.Label (Rect (9, 400, 100, 20), "MASS: " + mass.ToString());

 

Thanks Jesse!

I used: rigidbody.mass and it displays.
