Hey, I've been having his problem for a couple of days now and I can't seem to figure it out. In my game when the player loses the game I have a sprite come up to say "You lost, you killed ___ Zombies!", but the sprite covers the text variable that would be in the blank spot. I've looked around the forum and all I can find is to use a plane and attach the texture, except I just cannot center it right on the screen no matter how hard I try. Is there an easier way? Thanks

Thanks for the help, all that did was make some of my sprites disappear.

Instead of putting a sprite over text, I guess you could try adding a bunch of strings together like this? I'm not sure this would even work, I didn't compile it.

The safest way is to use sprintf_s:

Use this to create an image out of text input

Thanks for all the help guys! I ended up just making the sprite off screen and then pasting it on and it put the text in front. I'm sure there's better ways but it works fine. All the help is greatly appreciated!
