无法将类型`string'隐式转换为`UnityEngine.GUIText'

Question

I am making a game in Unity and I want to display the lives the player has left on the screen. I keep getting the error: "Cannot implicitly convert type `string' to UnityEngine.GUIText" in Unity when I compile the code shown below. I have seen the Update function in the Message class work seamlessly exactly like that in a tutorial so I don't know what my problem is.

public class GameManager : MonoBehaviour {

    public static int lives = 3;
}

//

public class Message : MonoBehaviour
{

    public Text scoreText;

    void Update()
    {
        scoreText.text = "Lives: " + GameManager.lives.ToString();
    }
}

Answer 1

Did you include: using UnityEngine.UI; on top of your code?

Answer 2

You can double click on an Error to see where it is coming from. You get informations about the name of the script and the line where the error is coming from. Hope it helps.
