Cannot assign GUItext to script?

Questions & Answers
1

Hi, I just downloaded Unity and I am currently working through a tutorial on a simple game.

I am trying to assign text(I went Create → UI → Text, I hope that was the right one) to this script, but drag and drop as well as typing the name of my text object won’t work. I have a feeling that it is because the create menu in hierarchy has UI > Text instead of GUI, since that’s the only thing I think may be wrong. My script is the following:

using UnityEngine;
using System.Collections;

public class PlayerController : MonoBehaviour
{
public float speed;
public GUIText countText;
private int count;

void Start()
{
	count = 0;
	setCountText();
}

void setCountText()
{
	countText.text = "Count:" + count.ToString ();
}
void Update()
{
}
void FixedUpdate()
{
	float moveHorizontal = Input.GetAxis("Horizontal");
	float moveVeritcal = Input.GetAxis("Vertical");

	Vector3 movement = new Vector3(moveHorizontal, 0.0f, moveVeritcal);

	rigidbody.AddForce(movement * speed * Time.deltaTime);
}

void OnTriggerEnter(Collider other)
{
	if (other.gameObject.tag == "PickUp") 
	{
		other.gameObject.SetActive(false);
		count = count + 1;
		setCountText();
	}
}

}

Not a lot of tutorials have aught up with 4.6 yet. There are some linked onto profile page.

To solve this you need to add

using UnityEngine.UI;

At the top of you script. And change your declaration to

public Text countText;

Everthing else should then work as written.
