Script effects all the game objects which have same component in U.I Canvas

Hi, I have written a fade-in script which is

Code (CSharp):

1.    
2. Text text;
3.  
4. void Start () {
5.        text = this.gameObject.GetComponent<Text> ();
6.  }
7.  
8.  void Update () {
9.  
10.         if(Time.time > period){
11.             fadeIsDone = true;
12.         }
13.  
14.         if (!fadeIsDone) {
15.             Text text = gameObject.GetComponent<Text>();
16.             Color colorOfObject = text.color;
17.             float prop = (Time.time / period);
18.             colorOfObject.a = Mathf.Lerp(0, 0.9f, prop);
19.             text.material.color = colorOfObject;
20.         }
21.        
22.     }

and apply it into Text object under Canvas. Weird thing happen as all of the Text objects under Canvas will receive the same fade-in effect which is caused from the script.

Did anyone has this problem?
I'm using Unity 4.6.

Thank you.

 

I am new to the UI scripting as well, however if I recall correctly you will have to make a reference to the particular text item you want to effect with the script if not all by its individual ID or Name...

Personally I have not gotten that far, I am still learning how to interact with it via script, so my suggestion is as much as a suggestion as it is a question.. I hope we both get the answer

Cheers bro, will check back to see if you have receive a informative response and if the responders would be so kind as to post some script examples..

 

The problem is that you are assigning the color of the material, rather than the color. Change:

Code (CSharp):

1. text.material.color = colorOfObject;´
2.  

to:

Code (CSharp):

1. text.color = colorOfObject;

Then things will work as intended.

 

Hi PGJ, thanks for solving my bug. It's working now.
