I want the text sprite I made to stay on screen in my game, like the life counter. The text sprite is supposed to work like a lives counter (like super mario brothers for example) I tried stay on screen block, and now it just slides about back and forth. It doesn’t appear at all with the relative to camera block with the stay on screen. I removed the relative to camera because of this.
