I’m building a fitness tracking app. The idea behind this specific part of the UI is that the user can add sets to the drills they are doing by pressing the “+Set” button. It instantiates a new prefab in a scrollview. When instantiated, the label should update with a set number (“Set 1,” “Set 2”, etc.).

As you can see, though, the set labels aren’t working correctly. The first label never updates with the correct number. And even though the int for the set is increased at the end of the instantiation instructions (so after the first one is instantiated, the number reads as “2”), the next set will update the label to read as 1 less than the actual int.

Here’s what’s being shown in the script when I’m testing:

This is driving me nuts, as I can’t figure out for the life of me why it won’t behave.

Here’s the code that gets called when the button is pushed.

public class ActiveWorkoutDrillObject : MonoBehaviour

public TMP_Text drilNameDisplay;
public List<GameObject> sets = new List<GameObject>();
public GameObject scrollViewArea;
public Transform setsScrollview;
public GameObject setObject;
public int totalReps;
public int setNum;
public GameObject helpScreen;

void Start()
{
    setNum = 0;
}

public void AddSet()
{
    setNum++;
    
    GameObject _set = setObject;

    Instantiate(_set, setsScrollview);
    sets.Add(_set);

    int _viewSize = sets.Count * 155;
    scrollViewArea.GetComponent<RectTransform>().sizeDelta = new Vector2(950, _viewSize);
    
    _set.GetComponent<ActiveWorkoutSetObject>().UpdateSetText(setNum);
}

Here’s the code for the instantiated object that should be updating the text.

public class ActiveWorkoutSetObject : MonoBehaviour

private ActiveWorkoutDrillObject activeWO;
public int reps;
public TMP_Text setsDisplay;
public TMP_Text repsDisplay;

void Start()
{
    activeWO = GameObject.FindObjectOfType<ActiveWorkoutDrillObject>();
}

public void UpdateSetText(int _setNum)
{
    setsDisplay.text = _setNum.ToString();
}

As best I can tell when I’ve added debug lines, all of the instructions are being called, the correct information is being sent to the methods, and it should be updating with the correct text…but it just won’t.
