So i have my text, using the display text.
one says 'game.score' and the other is 'game.highscore'

but even though they are at the front of the layer (there is only one layer) they still wont appear ?!

    If the actor is invisible, the text will be invisible too.
    Is it alpha zero or graphics invisible?

    Photics is correct. If an actor is invisible the text will be also, but the way around this is to not have the actor set to invisible but to change the colour>Alpha=0. Then the actor will still not be 'visible' but the text will.

    It's not invisible, I have looked at everything it could be.

    Is the text the same colour as the background? There is a setting in the Display Text behavior.

    If you have more than one layer, make sure the text is on the top layer and not below the background layer.

    This should be stuck in part of a 'what's wrong wiki' under 'no text displayed'.

    and possibly adding

    Are you sure you are putting a reference into text display rule and if you are is the attribute you are referencing outputting anything?

    it reads like the mistakes I've made over the last few months.

    All good error-checking advice...also sometimes when you write the attribute in instead of selecting it - it doesn't display
