Question

I am looking for some best practice advice here: when the player closes in to an object they can interact with, I want to display a prompt that hints what button to press and a small text.

My approach so far is to embed this into a HUD style thing using the canvas layer and several Vbox and Hbox containers to place the prompt and then change the content via script but somehow this feels like the wrong approach.

I highly recommend using this plugin for input: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gNiiaNViaUg&t=1495s

Among other things, it natively supports what you want to do.
