Center text

Hello everyone i'm new here and i must say that the software, website, everything is very well done! congratulation!

I did the first tutorial and now i want to add stuff to it so i can get better without having to worry too much about the design. I want that when i die a GAME OVER text pop in the middle of the screen. Right now im able to make the game over text pop when i get hit by a monster but i dont know how to make the text 'game over' appear in the middle of the screen. Right now i have static position for the text (middle of the whole stage) but if i die in the top corner for exemple, it wont show up because im too far away. Any idea how to fix that?

Thank you everyone i will have MANY other questions so stay tuned!

As depicted in the HUD part of the beginner's guide, place your text on a layer which has 0,0 parralax.

On start of layout, set text position to windowwidth /2 for the x component and windowheight/2 for the y component.

It should be in the middle of your window, wherever the scrolling is in the layout.

i want the exact opposite. i want the game over sign to appear in the middle of the display whereever i die in the level.

Then don't place the text on the HUD layer and use layoutwidth/2 and layoutheight/2 instead of windowwidth/2 and windowheight/2 to position it.

This doesn't make much sense to me though, but it's your game.

both of the solution dont work :S

i dont know if im doing it wrong but here is how i do it.

Player die only when he gets hit by monster.

so i do it like that: monster get into collision with player / system creat object / text 'game over' X: windowwidth/2 Y: windowheight/2

what am i doing wrong?
