Text field of a text UI object in UnityScript?

How can I change the text field of a text UI object in a UnityScript? I want to change a text field based on variables from button presses but I can't figure out how, the only answers I found were for C#.

 

using UnityEngine.UI;

~~~~~~~~~~~

Text textComponent = transform.GetComponent<Text>();
textComponent.text = "brabra";

is this correct for you?

 

That just gives me a series of errors about semi-colons and parenthesis.

(3,6)UCE0001: ';' expected. Insert a semicolon at the end.

(5,5)UCE0001: ';' expected. Insert a semicolon at the end.

(5,51)BCE0043: Unexpected token: ).

(5,52): BCE0044: expecting ), found ';'.

(5,53): UCE0001: ';' expected. Insert a semicolon at the end.

 

I don't believe that is the right approach T2 - actually, there are two things you can do:

1. You can fetch the top level InputField and set its "value" property directly:
InputField inputField = myField.GetComponentInChildren<InputField>( );
inputField.value = "Hello World";

2. When you add an event from the Event Trigger attached to the button, create a method which takes InputField as a parameter, set that as the target method and set the parameter to the InputField you want to manipulate.
