Unassigned Variable ERROR

Unity Engine
1

Here is my Code

#pragma strict
public var timerText:GUIText;

private var allowedTime:int = 99;
private var currentTime:int;

function Start ()
{
currentTime = allowedTime;
UpdateTimerText();

TimerTick();
}

function Update ()
{

}

function UpdateTimerText()
{
//update the GUI Text on screen
timerText.text = “Time:” + currentTime;

}

function TimerTick()
{
while(currentTime > 0)
{
//waits for 1 sec before doing anything
yield WaitForSeconds(1);
//update the time
currentTime–;

//calls timer update
UpdateTimerText();
}

//timer is, do something (This is where you put what happens if it gets to 0
}

Here is my Error: UnassignedReferenceException: The variable timerText of ‘GUI_Timer’ has not been assigned.
You probably need to assign the timerText variable of the GUI_Timer script in the inspector.
GUI_Timer.UpdateTimerText () (at Assets/Scripts/GUI_Timer.js:23)
GUI_Timer.Start () (at Assets/Scripts/GUI_Timer.js:10)

it says it at this section: timerText.text = “Time:” + currentTime;

What does this mean???

First off, when posting code, you should use code tags as explained in this sticky post in this forum.

It means that you have not dragged a GUIText object into the timerText variable slot in Unity’s inspector.
