Unity Engine

Hello Com. ,

i want to use the score script written by the Unity team for a game but Unity can not find the type or namespace name “Text”.

using UnityEngine;
using System.Collections;

public class ScoreManager : MonoBehaviour
{
    public static int score;        // The player's score.
 
 
    Text text;                      // Reference to the Text component.
                                         //Text is red
 
    void Awake ()
    {
        // Set up the reference.
        text = GetComponent <Text> (); // Text is red
     
        // Reset the score.
        score = 0;
    }
 
 
    void Update ()
    {
        // Set the displayed text to be the word "Score" followed by the score value.
        text.text = "Score: " + score; //  secound "text" is red
    }
}

I hope anyone knows what to do :slight_smile:

ERROR message:

Assets/Scripts/Score.cs(9,9): error CS0246: The type or namespace name `Text’ could not be found. Are you missing a using directive or an assembly reference?

Text is in the UnityEngine.UI namespace. That means you need to either use UnityEngine.UI.Text or you have to include it at the beginning of the file:

using UnityEngine.UI;

i added the script part at the top but now i have a new error :

Assets/Scripts/Score.cs(3,1): error CS1041: Identifier expected: `using’ is a keyword

And the the “Text” is still red/an error.

new script for displaying the score and a function to add points:

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

public class ScoreManager : MonoBehaviour
{
    public static int score = 0;        // The player's score.
    Text text;                      // Reference to the Text component. "Text" red

    void Awake ()
    {
        // Set up the reference.
        text = GetComponent <Text> (); // "Text" red
        // Reset the score.
        score = 0;
    }

    void Update ()
    {
        // Set the displayed text to be the word "Score" followed by the score value.
        text.text = "Score: " + score; // secound text red
    }

    static public void AddPoint(){  //Use script to add point
        score++;

        }
}

i thought to add an other script to an collider to add the score, but it has a error too:

using UnityEngine;
using System.Collections;

public class ScoreAddingScript : MonoBehaviour {

    void OnTriggerEnter2D(Collider2D collider) {
            if (collider.tag == "Player") {
            Score.AddPoint(); 
            gameObject.SetActive(false);
                }
        }
}

You forgot the semicolon at the end of the second line.

Hello again! I have a small problem. What i have to do if “Score : 0” does not count?

ScoreAddingScript

using UnityEngine;
using System.Collections;

public class ScoreAddingScript : MonoBehaviour {

    void OnTriggerEnter2D(Collider2D collider) {
            if (collider.tag == "Player") {
            ScoreManager.AddPoint();
            //gameObject.SetActive(false);


            Debug.LogError ("Activ ontrigger");
                }
        }
}

ScoreManager scirpt

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

public class ScoreManager : MonoBehaviour
{
    public static int score = 0;// The player's score.
    Text text;                      // Reference to the Text component.
   
    void Awake ()
    {
        // Set up the reference.
        text = GetComponent <Text> ();
        // Reset the score.
        score = 0;
    }

    void Update ()
    {
        // Set the displayed text to be the word "Score" followed by the score value.
        text.text = "Score: " + score;

    }

    static public void AddPoint(){
        score += score +1;

        Debug.LogError ("adding Points");
        }
}

Everything is working except displaying the Score with the text UI.

Line 26 doesn’t seem correct. It should be either one of these:

score = score + 1;

score += 1;
