While working on my game, I was programming the score as a variable.

using UnityEngine;
using System.Collections;

public class Game_Controller : MonoBehaviour {

	public GUIText ScoreText;
	public int Score;

	void Start () {
	
		Score = 0;
		UpdateScore ();

	}

	public void Addscore (int newScoreValue){
		Score += newScoreValue;
		UpdateScore ();
	}


	void UpdateScore () {
	
		ScoreText.text = "Score: " + Score;

	}
}

After I wrote that I looked at the empty object I attached this script to. When I looked in the optinos menu, the Text for my canvas was not available as an option76138-capture.png

How should I work around this?

Maybe pass in the Score value to the UpdateScore method.

Let me know how you solve this.

Change ScoreText to a string instead of GUIText
