How to change text in text mesh?

Question

Unity

Looked at the examples and made by analogy

public GameObject CountText;
void Start(){
  CountText = transform.Find("CountText").gameObject;
  TextMesh text;
  text = CountText.GetComponent<TextMesh>();
  text.text = "99";
  }

me in reply

MissingComponentException: There is no 'TextMesh' attached to the "CountText" game object, but a script is trying to access it.
You probably need to add a TextMesh to the game object "CountText". Or your script needs to check if the component is attached before using it.

this object is a child, but the parent finds it, since I can turn it on / off through the script, it remains only to take the mesh component, but somehow it doesn’t want to ...

Answer 1

You have an object, but there is no component TextMeshon it.
