Hi. I want the player’s score in my game to go up every second. I have tried this but I get an error saying, “Cannot implicitly convert type string' to int’” Here is my code:

using UnityEngine;
using System.Collections;

public class AddToScore : MonoBehaviour {

	private int now = 3; 
	private int score = "0"; 
	public GUIText scoreLabel; 

	void Start(){
		scoreLabel.text = score;
	}

	void Update(){
		InvokeRepeating ("AdToScore", 1, 1);
	}

	void AdToScore(){
		if (now > 0) {
			score = score + 1; 
		}
	}
}

Please help. Thanks!

You have 3 mistakes in that code.

First:

 private int score = "0";

Make a integer get a string value. It should be:

private int score = 0;

Second:

scoreLabel.text = score;

Make a text property (which only accept string) get a integer value. It should be:

scoreLabel.text = score.ToString();

Third:

After increase your score variable, you need update the label, if you do not update, you can not see the change on the label.

void AdToScore(){
         if (now > 0) {
             score = score + 1; 
             scoreLabel.text = score.ToString();
         }
}

This helped, but this doesnt do it every “second” only every frame @Trungdv
