Title: Is there any form of super fast dynamic text?
Post by: Aaron on September 11, 2013, 04:50:10 am

Hi guys. I'm new to 2DToolkit and am messing around with scores. Is there a built in super fast score/text object in 2DToolkit that takes next to no time to update? I assume that TextMesh needs to do quite a bit of work to update its mesh when the value changes.

NOTE: I can write one of course, just wondering if there's something already there in the toolkit?

Thanks

The textmesh doesn't really do all that much when you update the mesh. Set the maxchars to the max number of chars you'll ever need (not that many for a score board), and the update will be really really fast. Don't use any of the additional features, like formatting, and you should be perfectly fine.

Thanks. I won't worry about for now.
