Question How do I set a variable's value as text?

I have a variable called textValue attached to a script that I attached to a text object. This Variable's value changes depending on your input, but for some reason, nothing shows up in the text on-screen. How do I make the value of textValue show as text? I have the script attached to the text object, and everything seems to be working. Here's the code:

public string textValue;

public Text textElement;

void Start()
{
textElement.text = textValue;
}

 

Well, I'm not seeing anything wrong with the code, so you should make sure it's running and make sure everything in the scene is hooked in correctly.

Add a Debug.log call into Start to see if it runs. Print out the value of textValue. Check console for errors. Make sure everything in the scene is correctly hooked in. Time to do that debugging!

 

Is this 'textValue' variable changing after 'Start' has ran?

Note that your script sets 'textElement.text = textValue' ONLY on Start. Not any other time.

What is it exactly you mean by "changes depending on your input". Is there code associated with that change?

 

On what basis are you making that claim? There are no log statements in your code and you stated that the desired effect is not occurring, so how do you know this code is even running and when?
