Question Why won't the text show up?

I am writing a script where a raycast shoots out and if it hits an object, I need this text to show up. Anyone know why it won't?

Code (CSharp):

1. using System.Collections;
2. using System.Collections.Generic;
3. using UnityEngine;
4. using UnityEngine.UI;
5.  
6. public class CureMakerScript : MonoBehaviour
7. {
8.  
9.     [SerializeField] private string CreateCure = "CreateCureText";
10.     public Text text;
11.    
12.     void Start()
13.     {
14.         text.enabled = false;
15.     }
16.  
17.  
18.     void Update()
19.     {
20.  
21.  
22.         var ray = Camera.main.ScreenPointToRay(Input.mousePosition);
23.         RaycastHit hit;
24.         if (Physics.Raycast(ray, out hit, 4) && PickUp1.IngredientCollected1 == true && PickUp2.IngredientCollected2 == true && PickUp3.IngredientCollected3 == true)
25.         {
26.             var selection = hit.transform;
27.             if(selection.CompareTag (CreateCure))
28.             {
29.                 text.enabled = true;
30.             }
31.            
32.         }
33.  
34.     }
35.  
36.  
37. }

 

What debugging steps have you tried?

Have you tried logging something inside the if statement on line 24 to see if you're getting in there?
Have you tried logging something inside the if statement on line 27 to see if you're getting in there?
Have you tried logging the values of all of your "PickupN" variables?
Have you checked if the Text component is getting enabled in its inspector?

 

Like Praetor says above... you are saying "I count 1, 2, 3 and I didn't finish."

Well, which one didn't finish???

The obvious followup is check #1 (raycast) because if that fails, #2 (hit object) and #3 (set text) don't matter.

ETc. etc. Basic engineering. Break the problem down until it is one single line that surprises you.
