    Hello, I was wondering how I could edit the text in a TextMeshProTextUI element since for me "TMP_Text","TextMeshProUGUI", "TextMeshPro", and "TMPro.TextMeshProUGUI" doesn't work.
    Example code:
    version = GameObject.Find("version").GetComponent<TMP_Text>().text;

    Thanks.

    In your script add a public field and then in the Inspector, assign the text object whose text property you want to change.

    Code (csharp):
    1.  
    2. public TMP_Text TextComponent;
    Then in your code, simply do TextComponent.text = "Some text";

    Somehow, I'm getting an error. It cannot find the type nor can it find something to import. upload_2021-11-22_20-18-52.png
