Hello !, SO guys I am totally new to unity, and so to get hold of the engine I thought of starting off with the basic unity tutorials they got in this site. So far done with the project until the text part…
Here’s the link to the part of that tutorial,

Displaying text in the game unity tutorial

I did what I was told and yes I add the “CountText” and I put the script into it and it works, not 100% but it works, It fails to initialize the text so when I play it always say “Count Text” instead of “Count : 0” but the count variable refreshes in the script(weird), and then I thought “Oh man screw that” and changed the text from the UI to “Count : 0”(which was “Count Text”), problem solved( atleast temporarily) then tried to add the next GUIText I get the error message from Unity saying “Cant add the same component multiple times !”

How can I fix these two problems ?
