Show "Score:5" on my screen, how?

Question

Hi...

I have this script

var score = 0;

function OnTriggerEnter( other : Collider ) { Debug.Log("OnTriggerEnter() was called"); if (other.tag == "Coin") { Debug.Log("Other object is a coin"); score += 5; Debug.Log("Score is now " + score); Destroy(other.gameObject); } }

function OnGUI () { GUI.Label (Rect (10, 10, 100, 20), score.ToString()); }

At now the script print on my screen "5" if i collect 1 coin. I want to print "Score:5"

Can you correct my script please? Thank you.

You can concatenate a string using the "+" operator. Whenever there's a string and you use +, other arguments are automatically converted to string unless you put them in parentheses. So

"Score: " + 5; // returns the string "Score: 5"

and

"Score: " + (1 + 4); // returns the string "Score: 5"

So whenever you change your score, you can change the score string.

var score = 0; var scoreText = "Score: 0";

function OnTriggerEnter( other : Collider ) {
    Debug.Log("OnTriggerEnter() was called");
    if (other.tag == "Coin") {
        Debug.Log("Other object is a coin");
        score += 5;
        scoreText = "Score: " + score;
        Debug.Log("Score is now " + score);
        Destroy(other.gameObject);
    }
}

function OnGUI () {
     GUI.Label (Rect (10, 10, 100, 20), scoreText);
}
