Text is not updating

Question

Hi! My problem is, text is not updating. I have prefab, and when game start, and you click a button he appears and you need to click it. I can't set a text to prefab , so they show score. Can you help me? P.S. sorry for my english. Here's code:

 using System.Collections;
 using System.Collections.Generic;
 using UnityEngine.UI;
 using UnityEngine;
 using System;
 
 public class click : MonoBehaviour
 {
     public int score;
     [SerializeField]private TextMesh scoreText;
     
    
 
     private void Awake()
     {
         scoreText.GetComponent<TextMesh>();
         
     }
    
     public void Update()
 
     {
 
         if (Input.GetMouseButtonDown(0))
         {
             Ray ray = Camera.main.ScreenPointToRay(Input.mousePosition);
 
 
             RaycastHit2D hit = Physics2D.Raycast(ray.origin, ray.direction, Mathf.Infinity);
             if (hit)
             {
                 score++;
             }
         }
         scoreText.text = score.ToString();
     }
 }

Works fine for me. Make sure you actually have a TextMesh component in your scene/gameObject and not a Text or TextMeshProUGUI component. Those are not TextMeshes.

 private void Awake()
 {        
     // Grab MeshText from this gameObject if not set in inspector
     if (!scoreText)
         scoreText = GetComponent<TextMesh>();

     // Log an error if there is no TextMesh
     if (!scoreText)
         Debug.LogError("No TextMesh set in inspector or attached to this game object", gameObject);
 }

The only other thing I can think of is if you have another script somewhere setting the text of the TextMesh after your script has set the score value.

No it’s textmesh, but I can’t set it to prefab because text in scene and the object is prefab. I tried to do text like prefab ,and then spawn it, and then set it but in this case the score write in text prefab. I don’t know how I do at the text ugdating.

After you Instantiate the prefab, set it up with code like using GetComponent. That, or search for the game object with the TextMesh with GameObject.Find during Start or Awake.
