Ammo Script

Questions & Answers
1

Hi I’m making an ammo script and I have been looking through other questions but I cant really seem to find my problem in them. When I call my “reserveAmmo” I am receiving an error: Cannot implicitly convert type 'string ’ to ‘UnityEngine.UI.Text’. I have been using ToString() on other parts of my code but for some reason it does not seem to be working…
const int capacity = 10;
int currentClip;
int reserveAmmo = 20;
// GUI Ammo
public Text clipText;
public Text ReserveAmmoText;
public Text ReloadText;

void Start ()
    {
       clipText.text = "Clip : " + capacity.ToString();
        ReserveAmmoText = "Reserve Ammo : " + reserveAmmo.ToString(); //error is here
    }

void Update () {
	if (gun.active)
        {
            if (Input.GetButtonDown("Fire1"))
            {
                                           int x = 110; for (int i = 0; i < currentClip; i++) ;

                x += 8;
                if (currentClip > 0)
                {

                        currentClip--;
                }
                else
            {
                if (reserveAmmo > 0)
                {
                    if (Input.GetButtonDown("R"))
                    {

                        currentClip = capacity;
                        reserveAmmo -= capacity;
                    }
                }
            }

            }
        }
        

    }

I have cut out a bunch of code that I don’t think is necessary so there might be the odd missing or too many bracket. Thanks for help if anyone can help me!

You have to access the Text component’s text variable, not the component itself (as you already did correctly in the line before, with clipText.text):

ReserveAmmoText.text = "Reserve Ammo : " + reserveAmmo.ToString();
