Assign GUIText to GameObject via Script
Hello, can anyone write me any simple code explaining how to assign GUIText from my Hierarchy to GameObject via script? Thanks for any response.
Something like:
GUIText myGuiText = GUIText.FindGameObjectWithTag("myGuiText");
FindGameObjectWithTag() finds a GameObject, like the method name suggests. It does not find a GUIText. Also note that FindGameObjectWithTag() is a static method of GameObject class, not of GUIText class.
So you'd want to use this:
GameObject myGuiTextGameobj = GameObject.FindGameObjectWithTag("myGuiText");
GUIText myGuiText = myGuiTextGameObj.GetComponent<GUIText>();
myGuiText.text = "Some text";
Thanks for response, but it is still not assigned in the object when I start the game.
Simply, I am looking for any way how to assign GUI Text(from hierarchy) into GUIText variable without Drag&Drop it to slot in the hierarchy, but via Script.
That's exactly my code. If you have a GUIText object called "myGuiText" in the hierarchy, the code above will fetch it, and change the text to "Some text", without needing to assign anything in the inspector.
This will grab the GUIText component off a gameobject in your hierarchy with the name MyGuiText. (in C#)
GUIText guiText = GameObject.FindGameObjectWithTag("MyGuiText").GetComponent<GUIText>();
