Problem displaying a variable with UI Text

Questions & Answers

Hi,
i created a UI.Text object to display the number of gold colected in a clicker game, but it only displays the tet directly inputed into the text box.
this is the script that i used to try to display it.

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

public class Click : MonoBehaviour {

    public int Gold = 0;
    public int goldPerClick = 1;
    public Text goldDisplay;

    void start()
    {
        countGold();
    }

    void update()
    {
        countGold();
    }

    public void Button(){
        Gold = Gold + goldPerClick;

    }

    void countGold()
    {
        goldDisplay.GetComponent<Text>().text = "Gold: " + Gold.ToString();

    }

}

i tried using:
goldDisplay.text = "Gold: " + Gold.ToString();
goldDisplay.GetComponent().text = "Gold: " + Gold;
goldDisplay.GetComponent().text = "Gold: " + Gold;

the variable changes but the text isnt displayed.
can anyone help me?

Programming is case sensitive. You have to use Update() and Start() otherwise these functions aren’t called by unity.
