    Hello, I'm working on my game. I'm trying to instantiate text and then change instantiated text's text value. Like this:

    But I'm getting an error like this, and I cannot find the way to solve it.

    numbersfortune and objectsfortune are structs. Can you help please? Thanks. Aghayev Teymur.

    That might only work if the SimpleText is in a field like 
    public Text SimpleText;
    . It can automatically instantiate the GameObject then get the component for you. It can't if it looks like 
    public GameObject SimpleText;
    .

    You can change the field to text, or instantiate as GameObject, then do GetComponent<Text>().
