create a box that player can type in it

Hi
How i can create a box with a button that player can type in box and if player click on the button all of text send in unity as a variable ?
sorry for my english

 

GUILayout.TextArea for multi-line input boxes:

http://unity3d.com/support/documentation/ScriptReference/GUILayout.TextArea.html

GUILayout.TextField for single-line input boxes:

http://unity3d.com/support/documentation/ScriptReference/GUILayout.TextField.html

===========

Code (csharp):

1. string inputString = "";
2. int lengthOfField = 30;
3.  
4. function OnGUI(){
5.      inputString = GUILayout.TextField(inputString, lengthOfField);
6. }

Input string will always be equal to whatever is in the text box. If you want to make a read-only text box just omit the "inputString = ." Not what you want to do right now, but it may be useful later in situations where you want the user to be able to easily copy-paste something but not alter it.

 

thanks but how i can send the text to unity as a variable ?

 

"inputString" is the variable.

inputString = GUILayout.TextField(inputString, lengthOfField);

What this does is constantly set the value of "inputString" to whatever is typed in the box every frame. You can access/pass that variable the same way you would any string variable.

 

you can use playerprefs to easily save and load a variable

for example -

Code (csharp):

1.     string inputString = "";
2.     int lengthOfField = 30;
3.      
4.     function OnGUI(){
5.          inputString = GUILayout.TextField(inputString, lengthOfField);
6.     }
7.      
8.      function Update() {
9.        
10.            PlayerPrefs.SetString("input text",inputString);
11.      
12. }
13.      
14.  

This saves the string the player has typed in as a variable by the name of "input text". You can now call it in any other script1

for example-

Code (csharp):

1. string PlayerName;
2.  
3. function Start() {
4.  
5.    PlayerName = PlayerPrefs.GetInt("input text");
6.   print PlayerName;
7.  
8. }

This should display the name the player had entered before.
