NGUI in 3D coordinates

[HazardousInteractive]

hello,

How can I make a GUI that hovers over a character to say to show its name/health etc... And gets smaller when the player goes farther or closer, and always faces the player

If you are doing it in 2D, then you need to write a script that will scale the game object containing your healthbar based on the distance from the camera to the object the health bar is following.

And how can I make it be above the character?

Adjust the Y coordinate relative to the player (or Z, or X, or whatever depending on your setup), either before or after you transform the position from world to camera or whatever.

I generally just have a child game object of the 3D object that's offset to be above the 3D object. I target this child object instead of the 3D object, resulting in the 2D UI being offset automatically.
