Can somebody PLEASE help me with this dam button?

I'm not sure I entirely follow your problem but you could do it by adding an Event Trigger to the Button. That allows you to add all sorts of triggers, for instance when the mouse enters the Button. Perhaps you could hack it so that On Enter stores the string in a global, whilst On Click calls the function.

Or perhaps make it so that the On Click function just sends the gameObject ID of the Button itself. Then the function that is called could look for the Text component of the Button it just got sent, and read the data out of it?

One other less hacky approach is for your UI Manager script, or wherever you deal with all of this, to have an array of possible buttons as a public var (eg public Button[] all_my_buttons) which you laboriously fill with all the buttons you might need to interrogate. Then, say you have 5 buttons the player might click, make each one send an On Click function with that number, corresponding to the array. Then your function can interrogate the Button in the array of Buttons when it receives the number. FindComponents (or FindComponentsInChildren), looking for the Text field, and bob's your uncle.

Hope this explains one route

 

Just combine the string and set the text directly.

 

I have this here but my leaderboard is in CS and I only really know JS

I use this to get the score

Code (JavaScript):

1. if(dead){
2. disableMouseLook();
3. score = bulletTraceGO.GetComponent("bulletTraceGenerator").score;
4. }

and this to supposedly add it to my leaderboard which does work when I use the Highscores CS script

Code (JavaScript):

1. function addnew(name:String){
2. GetComponent("Highscores") AddNewHighscore(name, score);
3. Debug.Log(name + ": " + score);
4. }

I use this to update the score when the player dies I attach this to the UI text gameobject that dispalys the score

Code (JavaScript):

1.  var GameSettingsOB : GameObject;
2. var playersScore : int = 0; //players score
3. var playerScoreGO: GameObject; //the texts gameobject which displays the score when player dies
4. var bulletTraceGO : GameObject; // holds the players actual score
5. function Start()
6. {
7.   GameSettingsOB = GameObject.FindWithTag("Settings");
8.   playerScoreGO = GameObject.FindWithTag("score");
9.   bulletTraceGO = GameObject.FindWithTag("BulletTrace");
10. }
11. function Update()
12. {
13.      if(GameSettingsOB.GetComponent("Game Settings").dead == true){             //is the player dead?
14.       playersScore = bulletTraceGO.GetComponent("bulletTraceGenerator").score;
15.       playerScoreGO.GetComponent(Text).text = playersScore.ToString();        //set the score
16.      }
17. }
18.  

The debug for the above shows the name and score but it seems like

Code (CSharp):

1. public void AddNewHighscore(string username, int score){
2.         Debug.Log ("Adding new highscore");
3.         StartCoroutine (UploadNewHighscore (username, score));
4.     }

this never gets called as this debug doesnt show up and there are no errors


edit: I now get this error
NullReferenceException: Object reference not set to an instance of an object

on this line

Code (JavaScript):

1. instance.StartCoroutine (instance.UploadNewHighscore (username, score));

 

Okay guys I fixed it!

I just got rid of the instant. parts and its now working!

I can sleep finally

You can have a play if you like make sure you die though and submit your score
