Changing the text of a 3d text object, help please!

Questions & Answers
1

So… I’m trying to change the text of a 3d text object, but for some reason I get an error that I don’t know how to solve!

This error:

error CS1525: Unexpected symbol `=’

on this line :

this.gameObject/EnemyHp.GetComponent<TextMesh>().Text = (currentHealth + "/ " + maxHealth);

I’m very new to c# and scripting in general, so help would be highly appreciated! :slight_smile:

Edit:
The text object is attached to a cube/enemy, same as the script.

this.gameObject/EnemyHp.GetComponent().Text = (currentHealth + "/ " + maxHealth);

you put a / ? change it to a . also it should be .text not .Text

should be :

this.gameObject.EnemyHp.GetComponent().text = (currentHealth + "/ " + maxHealth);

The documentation says

GetComponent<TextMesh>().text = "Hello World";

You are trying to access “Text” while there is only “text”.

Here is the whole script:

using UnityEngine;
using System.Collections;


public class EnemyHealth : MonoBehaviour 
{
	public float currentHealth = 100.00f;
	public float maxHealth = 100.00f;
	public float colorTimer = 0.5f;
	public float healthBarLength = 0.0f;
	
	void Start () 
	{
		healthBarLength = Screen.width / 2;
	}
	
	void Update () 
	{
		if (renderer.material.color == Color.red)
		{
			StartCoroutine(Farge());
		}
		this.gameObject/EnemyHp.GetComponent<TextMesh>().text = (currentHealth + "/ " + maxHealth);
	}
	IEnumerator Farge()
	{
		yield return new WaitForSeconds(0.07f);
		renderer.material.color = Color.white;
	}
	
		//GUI.Box(new Rect(10, 10, healthBarLength, 20), currentHealth + "/" + maxHealth);
	
	
	void ApplyDamage (float damage)
	{
		renderer.material.color = Color.red;
		
		currentHealth -= damage;
		
		if(currentHealth < 0)
		{
			currentHealth = 0;
		}
		if(currentHealth > maxHealth)
		{
			currentHealth = maxHealth;
		}
		if(maxHealth < 1)
		{
			maxHealth = 1;
		}
		healthBarLength = (Screen.width / 2)  * (currentHealth / maxHealth);
		if(currentHealth == 0)
		{
			Death();
		}
	}
	void Death ()
	{
		Destroy(gameObject);
	}
}
