Courses Plus Student 314 PointsError in the complier:
Assets/Scripts/ScoreCounter.cs(18,17): error CS0029: Cannot implicitly convert type string' to
UnityEngine.UI.Text'
I keep getting this error although things seem right.

17,101 PointsYour Error is occurring because you're setting the text to the scoreCounterText variable itself instead of its text property.
//change scoreCounterText = score + "Flies" to...scoreCounterText.text
scoreCounterText.text = score + "Flies";
