# 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.

{% hint style="info" %}
Check out the default text adapter scripts:\
*Sickscore Games > HUD Navigation System > Scripts > Utilities > Adapters.*
{% endhint %}

### 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.

```csharp
// HNSTextAdapter_ThirdParty.cs

using SickscoreGames.HUDNavigationSystem;
using UnityEngine;

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