How do i display all my arrays in string? It only shows one.

Hello. I wanted to try to display my array prices in the game using the Example: showPrices.text ethod. It works but it only shows 1 of my arraylist. May i know how am i able to show all? My console seems to have printed the arrays. I want the same to be display as my in game. I have attached a pic so you guys can look at the problem clearly.

Here is my code

public class IngredientShop : MonoBehaviour
{
public string[] Ingredient = newstring[6];
public float[] Prices = newfloat[6];
public Text shopPrices;
inti=0;
//Usethisfor initialization
private void Start()
{
for(i=0;i<Prices.Length;i++)
{
Prices[0]=1.20f;
Prices[1]=0.90f;
Prices[2]=1.80f;
Prices[3]=1.60f;
Prices[4]=1.30f;
shopPrices.text=Ingredient+"\t"+Prices;
Debug.Log(Ingredient+"\t"+Prices);
}
}

 

have you set up the Text so it has Vertical overflow?

 

Hi, yes i just changed it. No difference. No changes.

 

what about replacing \t with \n?

Also you should use code tags when posing, it's easier to read

 

i also did change the \t with \n . no difference hahahaha. oh my. Idk why but i hate tags hahah. The fact that im unsure on how to use it on this arrays hahaha. Right now, i need to know how to get the display working haha

 

Try changing

Code (CSharp):

1. shopPrices.text=Ingredient+"\t"+Prices;

To

Code (CSharp):

1. shopPrices.text=Ingredient+"\t"+Prices[i];

and weird, I just tried using \n and it worked in unity 5.3.1 :O

 

im using 5.3.5f hahaha

 

Btw, did what you said. There's no difference. Is it cool if i see yours?

 

Sorry I've just headed out and am away from computer, however a quick but inefficient fix is removing the forloop completely and using below

Code (CSharp):

1. shopPrices.text =  Prices[0].ToString() + "\n" + Prices[1].ToString() + "\n" + Prices[2].ToString() + "\n"
2.             + Prices[3].ToString() + "\n" + Prices[4].ToString() + "\n" + Prices[5].ToString() + "\n";

 

Okay that solves the problem. However, i hope to get the script with the forloop working :/ If you know the efficient fix, hope you can share it with me Thanks for you time mate!

 

Soon as i'm back at my place will slap the other one on here!

 

you could try something like this

Code (CSharp):

1. string tempString = "";
2. for (int i = 0; i < Prices.Length; i++) {
3.     tempString += string.Format("{0}\n", Prices[i]);
4. }
5. shopPrices.text = tempString;
6.  

 

ITS WORKING!!! THANKS PASSER! one note, may i know what does {0} means?

 

the "{0}" is a placeholder for string.Format() to use

the first argument of string.Format(), is the string you are formatting, and the 2nd argument is what to replace {0} with. If i had a {1}, {2} etc i would be able to provide more arguments that it can replace with.

this is just my preference since i find it is cleaner than adding strings with +, and that it automatically calls .ToString() on anything you pass in.

Code (CSharp):

1. tempString += "/n" + Prices[i];

would be the same result
