Text edit

Unity Engine

I get this error ^^.

Code:

    [SerializeField]
    private Text ammoText;

 private void Start()
    {
ammoText = GetComponent<Text>();
ammoText.text = currentAmmo + "/" + reserveAmmo;
}

Why i get this error? I put in the UI Text element in the inspector.

So…ammoText is probably not set to anything.

Do you have a Text component on the same gameobject that this script is on?

Though…that error points to PlayerMovement…are you sure this is where your error is?

No i don’t have the script on the Text element itself. Thats why i use “[SerializeField] private Text ammoText”

GetComponent() says to look at the same gameobject and find a Text component. If none is found it returns null. So ammoText is null.

Ah yeah! Thanks man, very dumb fault from me.
