Let’s go through the properties:&#x20;

* **Prefix:** adds text before your variable value.&#x20;
* **Suffix**: adds text after your variable value. &#x20;
* **Increment**: adds a number to the int. It mostly used for Level index (as we start at 0, but we want to display 1 to the player). &#x20;
* **IsClamped** : enable clamping the value shown.&#x20;
* **Min Max** : minimum and maximum used for clamping the value shown. So in this case, if your variable goes below 0, the value shown in the text will be minimum 0 (won’t display negative numbers). &#x20;

The HealthText also has a BindTextMeshPro component.&#x20;

* **Decimal Amount:** how many decimal numbers we want to display.
