It uses X/Y screen space. Z can be used to order GUI objects in z space (back into the viewport)
when ambiguity exists. The position value is in unit values; 1 equals 100% of the screen width and
height.

Open the Scorekeeper script.

Add the following variable:
public GameObject bunnyCounter; // GUI Text object
Inside the
UpdateCount
function, below the
print
line, add the following:

bunnyCounter.guiText.text = "test";
Comment out the
print
line.

5.
Save the script.
6.
Select the Game Manager, and drag the Bunny Count object onto its Bunny
Count parameter.
Let's try a quick test.
Change the
bunnyCounter.guiText.text
line to:
7.
bunnyCounter.guiText.text = currentBunCount; // change the gui text's text
