how do i change the text of an object in javascript

so im trying to make a text that will change depending on what the ammount of an object is but i cant get the text to change?

let score = plant.itemCount

const textObject = runtime.objects.Text;

const textInstance = textObject.getFirstPickedInstance();

textInstance="score";

i know some of the code works i think its only the textinstance = score that isnt working

It's much easier to help if you share your project file. But from just looking at that code, it looks like textInstance refers to an ITextInstance. That's a whole class - you can't just assign a string to it. You probably meant to assign the text property instead.

hey thanks for the link to it but may i ask how to assign it as text? thanks!

textInstance refers to ITextInstance, which has a text property. So you want to write textInstance.text = "score";. If you're not sure about how to access object properties, I'd suggest going through the Learn JavaScript in Construct tutorial series which covers this.
