Question by eshwar · Dec 28, 2014 at 01:13 PM · uitexttutorialreferencenot-working

Unable to reference a component.

I've tried to use an exact script from a tutorial by uniy(link: http://unity3d.com/learn/tutorials/projects/survival-shooter/scoring-points) the code :

static var score : int;
private var text : Text;

function Awake () {

 text = GetComponent (Text);

 
 score = 0;

}

function Update () {

 text.text = "Score: " + score;

}

For what i know everything was correct but it is giving me this error : Assets/Scripts/ScoreManager.js(3,20): BCE0018: The name 'Text' does not denote a valid type ('not found'). Did you mean 'UnityEngine.UI.Text'?

please help me. Thank you in advance

Where it says GetComponent (Text);

change it to GetComponent ("Text");

For all the other instances of GetComponent, you will need speech marks there too

@Qasem2014 where did you put the import UnityEngine.UI; in your code? When I added it into the same code @eshwar was using, it gave me a new error. BCE0044: expecting EOF, found 'import'.
