I wanna access the Component TextMeshPro - Text (UI) via Scripting and change the Text value dynamically

#

This is my Script. I have tried a lot of combinations and can't seem to get it right.

the class you want is TextMeshProUGUI

oh yeah did not catch that

#

Or the less derived TMP_Text

#

You need this component https://docs.unity3d.com/Packages/com.unity.textmeshpro@1.0/api/TMPro.TextMeshProUGUI.html

#

And it has a .text property that holds the string
