how do you guys get text to show above active objects? Right now I use the "Edit Object" but it's always kinda messy when I play the game. Is there a better way to do it? Thank you in advance

Then use Always: Bring to front.
Don't use the edit object.
Why would you do this?
Just use the string object.
Because String Objects cannot have Alterable Values attached to them which is critical if you want to have more than one of the same object, but different text over different objects. For example, if you have an online game and you want a bunch of the same "Online Player" objects, but each of them represents a different player and should have a different name above their head.

I am pretty sure you would be able to do that with a string. Though it's probably easier with the active system box.
