I can't change the text mesh

Question

Hello,

I want to change the text of the TextMesh component of a Game Object. I added this script, but it doesn't work. What's wrong?

 #pragma strict
 var scorePoints : int;
 function Start () {
 
 }
 
 function Update () {
     TextMesh.text = scorePoints;
 }

 TextMesh.text = scorePoints;

You are calling a static method "text". If you want change the value of the text component of your object, you can try with the next code:

 var scorePoints : int = 5;
 var myTextMesh : TextMesh;
 
 function Start()
 {
     myTextMesh.GetComponent(TextMesh);
 }
 
 function Update()
 {
     myTextMesh.text = scorePoints;
 }
