Hello! I'm new to game development as well having only made a few simple 2d games while I was taking classes in college. I've been trying to make my own small narrative first person projects but I'm approaching a point at which my coding ignorance is causing any small problem to become a multiple day ordeal. I'm also working in Unity with C# so if you would like to collaborate, my requests would be simple and anything you found that you wanted to work on I'd be more than happy to help with what little knowledge I have!

Sorry for the late response - Hope everyone had a great end of the year! I'll try and be more clear and I'll include a pastebin of my in-progress code at the end. In the practice game I am making while I learn I've littered several simple notebook objects around my game environment. When the player clicks on one of the notebooks (the game is in first person) I would like text to be displayed to the player as if they were reading a note that was left inside of the notebook they just clicked on. It doesn't need to be anything fancy. The problem seems to be in getting the text to show up on the screen. The raycast functions correctly (there were initially more debug logs when I was testing the cast itself). Here's the code I'm working with: http://pastebin.com/r7CJ8g6G

Hey everybody, I've been dipping my toe into 3d development for the first time this past week using Unity and I've come across a problem I can't seem to solve through youtube tutorials and unityAnswers... I can't get a simple "read note" mechanic working so that I can display appropriate text on the gui when the player clicks on an object in the world. I figured I'd use a Raycast solution so that I could broaden the variety of interaction when I've got some more practice under my belt, but I can't get the damn thing working! If need be I can pastebin the code I'm using, but it's honestly a mess. Is this as simple a problem as it seems it should be or am I in over my head? Thanks in advance for any help.
