[SOLVED] Issue With Displaying Score

Unity Engine
1

I had the score displaying properly in my game but decided the code was kind of all over the place. So I deleted it all and started making a ScoreManager script but now I’m having errors.

Here is the script:

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

public class ScoreManager : MonoBehaviour {

    public Text scoreText;
    public float score = 0f;


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

The code in the Update is throwing a Object reference not set to an instance of an object error.

Here is the inspector for the empty object in the hierarchy that has the ScoreManager script attached to it:

I’ve assigned my scoreText variable here by plugging in the UI Text element that is also in my hierarchy as that is how I got the code to display before.

What am I missing?

I’m sorry guys. I pulled an all-nighter and my brain just isn’t working anymore but trying to meet a deadline for this student project. Realized I already set scoreText both in the start and in the inspector. I should go to bed.
