Hi All,

I’m new using unity3d, and I’m creating simple game and I want to show the score of the player, I have insert GUIText to the bottom of the screen

and I have created HUDController and create Public variable of type GUIText, then drag this class to one of the game objects and assign my GUIText to the public variable

and try to set the text in the update method but I got a null pointer exception

If I have did anything wrong please let me know

Thanks in Advance

What I would do is have a script attached to the GUIText simmilar to this

function Update ()
{

  //Here the text will always ='s to the score
  guiText.text = PlayerScoreScript.score;

}

in your script that controls the score make sure to make a static var that is the player score. Hope this helps!
