Wrong Text showing in TextMeshPro

Unity Engine
1

I have a prefab that has a TextMeshPro that I spawn a lot of, edit the text, and destroy, sometimes several a second. There is a bug every few prefabs where the text rendered is wrong; It is showing the text of a past prefab. I added logs to check the text I am inputting, and the text of the component after I set it, and they are correct. But in game, they are showing a previous playfab’s text both in game and inspector.

Edit: It seems to always show what the previous text was supposed to be.

Can you share some code?

Well, in your spawn code, you should call your Set(int exp) function on deth_anim, not on deathAnimation.

Now you are spawning a prefab, then changing prefab’s contents. That will not affect object you just spawned, it will affect the object you will spawn next.

That must be it, thank you!
