Leaderboard - Accessing labels of prefab and adding to UIGrid

[singh029]

Hi how do i access and edit a specific label in a prefab and then add it to the UIGrid?

I want to create a leaderboard and each prefab contains a rank label, name label, and score label.

I referenced this post and found how to add children to a parent.

Thank you!

Dirty way? transform.FindChild("name of your label").GetComponent<UILabel>().

Clean way? Create a script attached to your prefab with public references to the labels you want to edit. You can then GetComponent<YourScript>().headerText = "Whatever";

I seeeeee! thank you!

So if i wanted to change the text of one of the labels, then i would do something like

var name = transform.FindChild("username").GetComponent<UILabel>();

name.text = "ArenMook";
