In my game balls are thrown in towards the player by a turret. How can I make it so that if the player is ball’s path a text is displayed on the screen? Newbie here, thanks in advance.

Is the turret also moving?
If so
How good is was your maths teacher? The rigorous way is to solve for the intersection vector through a series of linear equations using a iterative implementation of Gaussian elimination. Khan Academy covers it well but this is not a beginner’s approach.
Otherwise, you can always just simulate. Every ten frames or so you could (asynchronously on a thread if you can) loop the movement and test if they get close enough to collide.
Otherwise, I can’t think of an easy beginner way, sorry.
If not
Cast a raycast pointing in the forward velocity vector of the ball and and it’ll tell you if it intersects with the turret.
