Question by airbagnr1 · Nov 17, 2015 at 02:23 PM · textvariables

Ammo Script

Hi I'm making an ammo script and I have been looking through other questions but I cant really seem to find my problem in them. When I call my "reserveAmmo" I am receiving an error: Cannot implicitly convert type 'string ' to 'UnityEngine.UI.Text'. I have been using ToString() on other parts of my code but for some reason it does not seem to be working... const int capacity = 10; int currentClip; int reserveAmmo = 20; // GUI Ammo public Text clipText; public Text ReserveAmmoText; public Text ReloadText;

 void Start ()
     {
        clipText.text = "Clip : " + capacity.ToString();
         ReserveAmmoText = "Reserve Ammo : " + reserveAmmo.ToString(); //error is here
     }
 
 void Update () {
     if (gun.active)
         {
             if (Input.GetButtonDown("Fire1"))
             {
                                            int x = 110; for (int i = 0; i < currentClip; i++) ;
 
                 x += 8;
                 if (currentClip > 0)
                 {
 
                         currentClip--;
                 }
                 else
             {
                 if (reserveAmmo > 0)
                 {
                     if (Input.GetButtonDown("R"))
                     {
 
                         currentClip = capacity;
                         reserveAmmo -= capacity;
                     }
                 }
             }
 
             }
         }
         
 
     }

I have cut out a bunch of code that I don't think is necessary so there might be the odd missing or too many bracket. Thanks for help if anyone can help me!

What is the type of ReserveAmmoText ? If it's a UIText you may need to add .text at the end: ReserveAmmoText.text = "Reserve Ammo : " + reserveAmmo.ToString();

You have to access the Text component's text variable, not the component itself (as you already did correctly in the line before, with clipText.text):

 ReserveAmmoText.text = "Reserve Ammo : " + reserveAmmo.ToString();
