BCE0022 Cannot convert 'function(): String' to 'String'.

Question

Hello. I am new to Unity, so sorry if I am asking an obvious question. I am getting an error when running this code:

 function Update () {
     
     var camPosY = Camera.main.transform.position.y;
     guiText.text = camPosY.ToString;
     
 }

I get this error: Assets/Display.js(9,32): BCE0022: Cannot convert 'function(): String' to 'String'.

Please help :)

Thanks in advance :D

Change this

 guiText.text = camPosY.ToString;

to this

 guiText.text = camPosY.ToString();

Note the parentheses indicate a function call.

You forgot the parenthesis ;)

 guiText.text = camPosY.ToString();

(the error was telling you that you were trying to assign a function to a string value)
