You are trying to access components in this class which rely on this class being live, i.e. having an instance of this class first.

I tested your code here and it worked ( I just removed line 15 and 26 because I don’t have that class).

My guess is that you put your script on a object that has no text component on it? if the text component is on a child element, use GetComponentInChildren on line 22 like you did on line 24.

If you have no text component, right click your canvas object, >UI > Text
