I sometimes use this for building debug GUI with UnityGUI. Here's a simple script I use:

using UnityEngine;
using System.Collections;

[ExecuteInEditMode()]

public class DEBUGDistanceBetween : MonoBehaviour {

public Transform t1;
public Transform t2;

void OnGUI () {
if(t1 && t2) GUI.Label(new Rect(20, 20, 200, 50), (t1.position – t2.position).magnitude.ToString("#.00"));
}
}

1) How do you trigger the script?

The only way I found so far was to drag it onto a GameObject in the Hierarchy window. To re-activate it,I used the "Remove Component" popup from the Inspector, then re-dragged the script from the Project list back onto the GameObject

2)can you post a useful example ?

Mike
