Unity text drawing over itself, instead of changing

Questions & Answers
1

I have a game that is based around surviving for as long as possible. I am trying to display that score at the top left of the screen. But whenever the text changes, it draws itself on top of the previous text, instead of changing the text. It looks something like this:

The code that updates it looks like this:

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

public class GameManager : MonoBehaviour {

    public int score = 0;
    public Text scoreText;
    public bool Dead = false;
    public GameObject player;
	// Use this for initialization
	void Start () {
        score = 0;
        UpdateScore();
	}
	
	// Update is called once per frame
	void Update () {



        }


    void FixedUpdate()
    {
        if (Dead == false)
        {

            UpdateScore();
        }
    }

    public void UpdateScore() {

        scoreText.text = Time.time.ToString();
    }
    public void playerDeath() {

        Dead = true;
        player.SetActive(false);
        

        //Under construction
    }

}

Any and all help is very much appreciated

It looks like everything you are doing is correct from a script stand point(I tested this on a new project just to be sure). Is it possible that there is another object bellow or above that is starting with a value of 0? Perhaps search the scene for all text objects and see if there is a duplicate of your Text object.

After a bunch of testing, i found that the problem is that the text is anchored to the top left of the screen…? Atleast its working now. Thanks for the help though! Glad to get clarified its just unity being weird.

If this is happening to anyone else - I solved my problem by just creating a new canvas with new text game objects.
