Unity GetComponent(GUIText) bug?

Question

I have an issue with the GetComponent(GUIText) the error i get is

There is no 'GUIText' attached to the "#######COUNTER(Clone)" game object, but a script is trying to access it.

Here is my code:

var UItecxt = GameObject.Find("#######COUNTER(Clone)");
var txtconvert = UItecxt.GetComponent(GUIText);
print(txtconvert);
txtconvert.text = counternumb.ToString();

I HAVE a GUIText on my clone! What is the issue? Thanks!

Your problem is that there is no GameObject named "#######COUNTER(Clone)" cloned in the scene. Run my code below and you will notice.

var UItecxt = GameObject.Find("#######COUNTER(Clone)");
var txtconvert : GUIText;

if(UItecxt != null)
   txtconvert = UItecxt.GetComponent(GUIText);

else
  Debug.Log("There was no GameObject with the name '#######COUNTER(Clone)' in the scene");

To fix it just make sure you do have a GameObject with that name.
