GuiText enabled/disabled

[WaterMinecraft]

I’ve looked around, but I can’t seem to find an answer to my specific problem. I believe I have everything squared away, but I’m getting this error:

BEFORE I continue, the problem I’m having is that I can’t get my GuiText to appear nor my gameobject to disappear. What I’m trying to do is when I click on a gameobject, I want the render of that gameobject to disable, then for my GuiText to appear.

MissingComponentException: There is no ‘GUIText’ attached to the “First Person Controller” game object, but a script is trying to access it.
You probably need to add a GUIText to the game object “First Person Controller”. Or your script needs to check if the component is attached before using it.
MatchBoxScript.Update () (at Assets/_Scripts/MatchBoxScript.js:13)

I’m not quite sure what this means. I tried to pair it up with the FPC… but no good.

#pragma strict

function Start () {

}

function Update () {

if (Input.GetMouseButtonDown(0)){       
			var ray = Camera.main.ScreenPointToRay(Input.mousePosition);
			var hit : RaycastHit;
			
			guiText.enabled = false;
			
			if (Physics.Raycast(ray, hit, 100)){ // 1000 or Mathf.Infinity should be enough !
				// what did the raycast hit ?
				Debug.Log( "ray hit (name): " + hit.collider.gameObject.name);
				Debug.Log( "ray hit (tag): " + hit.collider.gameObject.tag );

				if(hit.collider.gameObject.tag == "match")
				{       
			
					guiText.enabled = true;
					Destroy(hit.collider.gameObject, 5);
					
					GameObject.Find("MatchText"). animation.Play("MatchAnim");
				}
			}
		}

}

Just as the error suggests: you probably don’t have a GUIText on the same game object as your FPC script.

Just after your pragma declaration, before your Start(), have this:

var myGUITextObject : GUIText;

And then in the inspector, drag+drop your GUI text game object (from the Hierarchy) into the slot on your FPC script.
