(New UI) How to edit two text objects in same script

[jcastaldo13]

Im trying to edit two separate text objects from the same script. My script looks like this so far:

using UnityEngine;
using System.Collections;
using UnityEngine.UI;


public class HUD : MonoBehaviour {

	Text text;
	Text text2;


	// Use this for initialization
	void Awake () {
	
		text = GetComponent <Text> ();
		text2 = GetComponent <Text> ();
	}
	
	// Update is called once per frame
	void Update () {
	

		text.text = "EXP   " + EXP.exp.curExp;
		text2.text = "Level    " + EXP.exp.curLevel;
	}
}

But text2 overwrites text. I need help. I dont want to use two separate scripts to do the same thing.

Calling GetComponent will get the text field assigned to the same game object as the script.

You need to get a reference to the object holding the text field.

Either make a variable that can be assigned in the editor

[SerializeField]
Text text2;

Or find the object at runtime.
