Help needed with Input Field

Hello,

I have an online highscore script, where the player have to type in his nickname using Input Field after game over. For some reason, after typing player's nickname in that Input Field and clicking "save score", the script saves it without last letter.

What might be the reason?



Scripts:

1:

Code (CSharp):

1.  
2. Text userNameInputText;
3.  
4.   string playerName = "";
5.  
6.     public void InputYourName()
7.     {
8.         this.playerName = userNameInputText.text;
9.     }
10.  
11.   void Start ()
12.    {
13.   instance = this;
14.   totalScore = 0;
15.  
16.   userNameInputText = canvas.transform.Find("InputField/Text").GetComponent<Text>();
17.  
18.              // get the reference here...
19.              this.dl = dreamloLeaderBoard.GetSceneDreamloLeaderboard ();
20.  
21.   this.gs = gameState.leaderboard;
22.    }
23.

Hi Groch,

There doesn't seem to be anything blindingly obvious in your code that would cause this, what I would recommend is just adding Debug.Log(playerName) in each function along the chain, and check where it changes, are you sure this is immediately after you save it or could it be when it is sent to the display?

Also, Line 167 of #2 I'm pretty sure you want that to be - System.StringSplitOptions.RemoveEmptyEntries not .None, Because at the moment you will be trying to parse "" to some of your current variables.

If you can provide any more information I'll be happy to respond to it below,

Elis

 

Thank you for your reply, for now I've discovered that when using an old Text Field (old GUI Layout) then it's ok. I've added both Input Field and old Text Field and when I type the first letter in Input Field, then there's nothing in Text Field and after typing second letter, then my text starts to appear in Text Field but without last letter. I hope that I've described it clearly, strange thing. Now I am struggling with centering that old Text Field... :d

EDIT:

Ok, I've done everything I need now, I am using that old Text Field and it's also centered.
