trying to use get component with find game object: error CS0131: The left-hand side of an assignment must be a variable, a property or an indexer

Questions & Answers
1

So i have amy game objects here:
public GameObject GameGUI;
public GameObject redHP;
public GameObject blueHP;
public GameObject GUIElement;
public GameObject Specialobj;
public GameObject HPtext;
public GameObject SPtext;
public GameObject Ammotext;
public GameObject Cliptext;
public GameObject DownTime;

then in the start method i find and assign the game objects in the scene
(since this is a network game and I’m spawning players I have to use findgameobject and cannot directly asian into the inspector also this will make it easier later to make new characters/players)

		/// SET GUI:
		Ammotext = GameObject.FindGameObjectWithTag ("GUIElement1"); //
		Cliptext = GameObject.FindGameObjectWithTag ("GUIElement2"); //
		SPtext = GameObject.FindGameObjectWithTag ("GUIElement3"); 
		HPtext = GameObject.FindGameObjectWithTag ("GUIElement4"); 
		Specialobj = GameObject.FindGameObjectWithTag ("GUIElement5"); 
		GUIElement = GameObject.FindGameObjectWithTag ("GUIElement6"); 
		blueHP = GameObject.FindGameObjectWithTag ("GUIElement7"); 
		GameGUI = GameObject.FindGameObjectWithTag ("GameGUI"); 
		DownTime = GameObject.FindGameObjectWithTag ("DownTime"); 

		GameGUI.SetActive (true);
		DownTime.SetActive (false);

last in update i am now trying to assign the game objects to getcompoonent to assign the variables to the GUI element here i run into problems.

error CS0131: The left-hand side of an assignment must be a variable, a property or an indexer
for all these lines (no idea why when they are defined as a game object in START)

	blueHP.GetComponent<Image>().fillAmount = currentHealth; // 100 == fill;
		Specialobj.GetComponent<Image>().fillAmount = Special; // 100 == fill;
		Ammotext.GetComponent<Text> = Ammo.ToString ();
		Cliptext.GetComponent<Text> = clips.ToString ();
		HPtext.GetComponent<Text> = currentHealth.ToString ();
		SPtext.GetComponent<Text> = Ammotext.ToString ();

You’re missing parenthesis and not assigning a variable.

Ammotext.GetComponent<Text> = Ammo.ToString ();  // ERROR
Ammotext.GetComponent<Text>().text = Ammo.ToString (); // OK

I bet it took you more effort to write that wall of text for the question, than it took me to check for syntax errors X3

Srsly, spend 5 minutes debugging your code before posting a question. :3
