Assign GUIText to GameObject via Script

Questions & Answers

Hello, can anyone write me any simple code explaining how to assign GUIText from my Hierarchy to GameObject via script? Thanks for any response.

Something like:

GUIText myGuiText = GUIText.FindGameObjectWithTag("myGuiText");

FindGameObjectWithTag() finds a GameObject, like the method name suggests. It does not find a GUIText. Also note that FindGameObjectWithTag() is a static method of GameObject class, not of GUIText class.

So you’d want to use this:

GameObject myGuiTextGameobj = GameObject.FindGameObjectWithTag("myGuiText");
GUIText myGuiText = myGuiTextGameObj.GetComponent<GUIText>();
myGuiText.text = "Some text";

This will grab the GUIText component off a gameobject in your hierarchy with the name MyGuiText. (in C#)

GUIText guiText = GameObject.FindGameObjectWithTag("MyGuiText").GetComponent<GUIText>();
