Problem displaying a variable with UI Text
Hi, i created a UI.Text object to display the number of gold colected in a clicker game, but it only displays the tet directly inputed into the text box. this is the script that i used to try to display it.
using UnityEngine;
using System.Collections;
using UnityEngine.UI;
public class Click : MonoBehaviour {
public int Gold = 0;
public int goldPerClick = 1;
public Text goldDisplay;
void start()
{
countGold();
}
void update()
{
countGold();
}
public void Button(){
Gold = Gold + goldPerClick;
}
void countGold()
{
goldDisplay.GetComponent<Text>().text = "Gold: " + Gold.ToString();
}
}
i tried using: goldDisplay.text = "Gold: " + Gold.ToString(); goldDisplay.GetComponent().text = "Gold: " + Gold; goldDisplay.GetComponent().text = "Gold: " + Gold;
the variable changes but the text isnt displayed. can anyone help me?
Programming is case sensitive. You have to use Update() and Start() otherwise these functions aren't called by unity.
Oh that i didnt know, since i just programmed in jprocessing and c# is fairly similar to java i thought it wasnt case sensitive. Thank you
People with typical aggressive IDEs can easily not know their language is case-sensitive. They may have heard it mentioned once, but you type "FOR" and the IDE automatically lower-cases and turns it cyan. You know the cyan is to make it pretty, so you can easily assume the lower-casing is also cosmetic.
That's probably why so many mess up Update and OnTriggerEnter.
And, just to be thorough, program$$anonymous$$g itself isn't case-sensitive. There are non-case-sensitive languages, just not so common any more.
