Hello
So i had these two scripts working until i figured out each object has to have a different name for the ObjectTextDisplay script to work correctly. SO i updated the randomize script to give unique names to each object that is created. Now when it comes to updating the ObjectDisplayText script i am gettin errors because the name that the object was initially created with no longer exists. In the Randomize script you can see how they are renamed. My problem starts on line 24 of the ObjectDisplayText script.
ObjText = GameObject.Find (“ObjectText”).GetComponent ();
should be somthing like this
x being the number of the object in its parented hierarchy
ObjText = GameObject.Find (gameObject.name + “_Obj” + x + “_ObjectText”).GetComponent ();
ObjText2 = GameObject.Find (gameObject.name + “_Obj” + x + “_ObjectText2”).GetComponent ();
Can anyone shed some light on the subject.
I hope thats not to convoluted.
