How do I Make text stay at the top left of the screen?

I'm trying to make a counter that keeps track of the score but I can't get it to stay in the top left of the screen while the player moves with scroll to

Hey Floppi,

use Position X to ViewportLeft("LayerNameOfObjectYouAreReferencing") + Whatever you want as a padding

and Position Y to ViewportTop("LayerNameOfObjectYouAreReferencing") + Whatever you want as a padding

Hope that helps!

Check out the documentation on how to use ViewportTop etc. aswell.

Its an amazing thing I didn't know of.

Extra Tip. When positioning something to the right or even the center: always start of the ViewportLeft! This has proven to me to be the most accurate way for responsive layouting.

Examples:

Position X to ViewportLeft("LayerName")+ViewportRight("LayerName") would position something to the absolute right side horizontally.

Position X to ViewportLeft("LayerName")+ViewportRight("LayerName") would always position something to the center of your screen horizontally.

Cheers!

Or...

You can put the counter on its own layer and change the Parallax properties of that layer to 0% x 0%.

Oh yes, I thought thats given :D sorrey!

What Lancifer says is great!

1. Put it on its own Layer

2. Parallax to 0

3. but then I recommend still doing Positioning using Viewport though

Hope it works :)

Thank you very much this worked perfectly.
