[4.6 UI Text] How to display variables along side typed text.

Basically, what i want to do is get this ...

("Health: "_active.hp" Defence: "_active.defence" Speed: "_active.speed);

to turn into this...

Health : 50 Defence: 50 Speed: 50

but i get errors like... "unexpected symbol "_active" "

i am sure this is a 10 second fix but i just cant figure it out

 

You can try:

Code (CSharp):

1. string myOutput = "Health: "+_active.hp+" Defence: "+_active.defence+" Speed: "+_active.speed;
2.  
3. Text textComponent = GetComponent<Text>();
4.  
5. textComponent.text = myOutput;

 

You can always use .ToString() on anything to convert it to a human readable string.

 

ya you can just add the values on, using .ToString() to convert them to a string. Or a other option is using c# string formatting

Code (CSharp):

1. int pricePerOunce = 5;
2. String s = String.Format("The current price is {0} per ounce.", pricePerOunce);
3. // Result: The current price is 5 per ounce.

lets you use place holders, in a text string, and fill them in using the args given after the string.
the 2nd arg giveing will fill in the {0} place holder

 

I am still getting errors i tried your code Fajlworks, but i get errors saying "NullRefferenceException: Object reference not set to an Instant of an object"

This is what i have...

Code (CSharp):

1. using UnityEngine;
2. using System.Collections;
3. using UnityEngine.UI;
4.  
5.     public class S_DisplayStats : S_Pokedex{
6.  
7.     // Use this for initialization
8.     void Start () {
9.         //display player stats
10.         string playerStats =  (
11.             "Pokemon: " +_active.pokemonName+
12.                 "   Health: " +_active.hp+
13.                 "   Defence: " +_active.defence+
14.                 "   Speed: " +_active.speed+
15.                 "   Strength: " +_active.strength+
16.                 "   Type: " +_active.type);
17.        
18.         Text textComponent = GetComponent<Text> ();
19.         textComponent.text = playerStats;
20.     }
21.    
22.     // Update is called once per frame
23.     void Update () {
24.    
25.  
26.  
27.     }
28. }
29.  

Is it a problem with inheriting?​

 

You can try:

Code (CSharp):

1. Debug.Log("textComponent:"+ textComponent);
2. Debug.Log("active mon:"+ _active);

That way you can check which variable is null at the time.

If textComponent is null after using GetComponent<Text>(), I'd say you forgot to add component to your game object. If _active is null, well, I guess your bug is in another castle. >_>
