# Text Adapters

Text adapters work behind the scenes and typically require no user interaction. It is only relevant for advanced scenarios or when using unsupported custom text components.

Check out the default text adapter scripts:\

### Create Your Own Text Adapter

Need support for a custom text component? No problem.

Creating your own text adapter is straightforward:

* Implement the `IHNSTextAdapter` interface
* Use the `SetText` method to update your custom text component

This allows you to seamlessly integrate any text solution with the HNS system.

{% hint style="success" %}
If you’re using a UI text component that isn’t supported yet, please let us know! We’d be glad to include a suitable text adapter in a future update for everyone to use.
{% endhint %}

```csharp
// HNSTextAdapter_ThirdParty.cs

using SickscoreGames.HUDNavigationSystem;
using UnityEngine;

public class HNSTextAdapter_ThirdParty : MonoBehaviour, IHNSTextAdapter
{
    public void SetText(string text)
    {
        Debug.Log(text);
    }
}
```
