    Yes,my question is very simple,but i just don't know how to do it.
    I have a textUI in my scene.
    In another script,i have a variable that counts the number of bullets the player has.
    I simply want to display that variable in my textUI.
    How can i do that?

    You need a reference to the Text object, then you can change the text through script.
    Code (csharp):
    1. using UnityEngine.UI; // Don't forget this line
    2. public class Script : MonoBehaviour
    3. {
    4.    public Text counterText;
    5.    public float counter;
    6.  
    7.    public void Update()
    8.    {
    9.       counterText.text = counter.ToString();
    10.    }
    11. }
