How to change the text on an other object ?

Question

Ok so it's basicly easy to change the text on a Gui. But i'm trying to change the text of a Gui when the script is applied to the main camera.

The reason i want to know how to do this, because i don't have to create scripts for each Gui.

So how can i access the Gui from a script attached to an other object ?

Appreciate any help. ~Wentzel

Get a reference to the script where the GUI is written and use a variable as GUI text.

 var guireference:NameofScript
 
 guireference = camera.GetComponent(NameofScript);
 guireference.GUIText = "blabla";

You can use GameObject.Find("object name here").GetComponent().text =

Or you could create properties in your script that are something like public GUIText MyTextObject and set it in the editor to be your gameobject.
