Canvas Issue (Laser Shooter)

[Sean_Majic]

Hi all,

My canvas seems to be generating very far from my main camera, does anyone know why this might be? The Rect Transform section on the canvas is also greyed out, as per the below.

Any help much appreciated!

Very best,

Sean.

Hi Sean,

If the Render Mode of the Canvas component is set to “Screen Space - Overlay”, the Canvas is basically its own space. Its content gets automatically rendered on top of your scene. You do not need any camera to render UI elements.

I usually keep the Game tab open when working with the canvas because this way I can see if my GUI appears as expected.

Thanks, Nina!
