A little help with a GUIText issue

Unity Engine
1

Hey guys…

It works “ok” but there´s an error on the console that I have no idea why I am getting it, so maybe you can help me out…

it says:

Can’t add component ‘GUIText’ to GameObject because such a component is already added to the game object!
UnityEngine.GameObject:AddComponent()
c__Iterator8:MoveNext() (at Assets/Menu2/Script/Options.cs:307)
UnityEngine.MonoBehaviour:StartCoroutine(IEnumerator)
Options:OnGUI() (at Assets/Menu2/Script/Options.cs:282)

However I did not add the GUIText before…

Here is the code:

public string highscoreURL = "http://elhosting/display.php";
public GameObject myDb;
public bool cor;
void Start()
{
lSel = PlayerPrefs.GetInt("EngSpaChi");
// myDb = GetComponent<GUIText>();
}
void OnGUI()
{
//here I have all the GUI buttons set with bools, and when one, named _highscores is true, the Coroutine starts
}
IEnumerator GetScores()
{
if (cor == true)
{
GUIText myText = myDb.AddComponent<GUIText>();
myText.transform.position = new Vector3(0.2f, 0.8f, 0f);
myText.text = "Loading Scores";
WWW hs_get = new WWW(highscoreURL);
yield return hs_get;
if (hs_get.error != null)
{
print("There was an error getting the high score: " + hs_get.error);
}
else
{
myText.text = hs_get.text; // this is a GUIText that will display the scores in game.
}
}
}

Thanks!!!

Line 17 You add a GUIText
Presumable the object already has one, or the coroutine is being called more than once

Thanks!!!. Yup. The bool initiating the coroutine is on the OnGUI and it was never set false. I got it right, now
