When posting code on the Scripting forum, make sure to use Code Tags so people can read your code easily. You can edit your post and add it.

The error tells you what’s wrong, you used a type like a variable. I don’t even know what you’re trying to do, so I can’t help you unless you explain it.

On another note, I’d suggest following some basic coding tutorials instead, C# has strict rules on how the syntax works, and if you don’t know those you’re not going to get anywhere.

I pasted the OP into chatGPT verbatim, here’s the generated reply:

It looks like you are trying to assign a value to the TextMeshProUGUI type, but you should be assigning it to the materialText variable that you declared earlier.

To fix this error, try changing this line:

TextMeshProUGUI = sharedMaterialName;

to this:

materialText.text = sharedMaterialName;

This will assign the value of sharedMaterialName to the text property of the materialText object, which will update the UI text to display the material’s name.

I hope this helps! Let me know if you have any further questions.

(Man, ChatGPT didn’t even give OP a hard time about memorizing error codes. What is the world coming to?)

Well played, well played.
