Making a score GUI

when the enemy’s in my game die they drop an object similar to the rings in sonic,
they show up on the player.
how do i assign a gui text to display what is at the moment a variable in my player controller script?

That has displaying the variable in it on a gui text. It does not however contain the pickup.

Im assuming you instantiate the pickup after it dies. Just make the pickup on trigger / or collider hit add to the score by going VariableScript.score += 1;
