member names cannot be the same as their enclosing type ammo counter-CodePudding

I am making a VR game where I want to display the ammo next to the gun. I keep getting a error and dont know how to fix it. Please help

using System.Collections.Generic;
using UnityEngine;
using UnityEngine.UI;

public class ammoText : MonoBehaviour
{
    public GameObject weapon;

    Text ammoText;

    void Awake()
    {
        ammoText = GetComponent<Text>();
    }
    // Update is called once per frame
    void Update()
    {
        ammoText.text = weapon.GetComponent<Gun>().currentBullets.ToString();
    }
}

CodePudding user response：

After passing line public class ammoText : MonoBehaviour the compiler knows that ammoText is a class and this is used to evaluate the correctness of the code. Statement Text ammoText; generates a compilation error because class ammoText must not occur in such a statement. Also other occurrences of ammoText will generate errors.

It is recommended to start class names with capital letters so it may be enough to rename the class to AmmoText.

CodePudding user response：

You can't name a variable the same as your class name. Change the text field name from ammoText to something else.

using System.Collections.Generic;
using UnityEngine;
using UnityEngine.UI;

public class ammoText : MonoBehaviour
{
    public GameObject weapon;

    Text renameThis;

    void Awake()
    {
        renameThis = GetComponent<Text>();
    }
    // Update is called once per frame
    void Update()
    {
        renameThis.text = weapon.GetComponent<Gun>().currentBullets.ToString();
    }
}
