hi can i see the projectfile folder?

 

Code (csharp):

1. var isQuitButton = false;
2.  
3. function OnMouseEnter()
4.  
5. {
6.  
7. renderer.material.color = Color.red; //change the color of the text
8.  
9. }
10.  
11. function OnMouseExit()
12.  
13. { renderer.material.color = Color.white; //change the color of the text
14.  
15. }
16.  
17. function OnMouseUp()
18. {
19.     //Are We Dealing With A Quit Button
20.     if( isQuitButton )
21.     {
22.         //QuitTheGame
23.         Application.Quit();
24.     }
25.     else
26.     {
27.         //LoadTheGame
28.         Application.LoadLevel(2);
29.     }
30. }

Create Two 3D Texts in your Main Menu Scene Name Them Play And Quit. Attach the script above to both of them. On The Quit Button Tick the Is Quit button in hereichy view. Where application.LoadLevel(2); is change the number to your level. That said when you click Quit it will quit. when u click play it will load your level. Also make sure to attack a Box collider to your 3D Texts other wise this will not work.

 

can i changed the color?

Hi.... Friend I have seen your menu and i must ask who did you do the box color changind script? pls reply

 

So I took the code from unity GUI tutorial and changed it a bit and I made it load the next level.

JS:

Code (csharp):

1. function OnGUI () {
2.     if (GUI.Button (Rect (10,10,150,100), "I am a button")) {
3.         print ("You clicked the button!");
4.     }
5. }

And that one is the default and it says in console (or on bottom of screen) "You clicked the button!" so I replace print with load level heres the final code (Its JavaScript):::::

Code (csharp):

1. function OnGUI () {
2.     if (GUI.Button (Rect (10,10,150,100), "I am a button")) {
3.         Application.LoadLevel(1);
4.     }
5. }

 

Thanks for the script!!!!!8)8)

Try this!

var isQuit=false;
var isBack=false;
var isControls=false;
var LoadingText : GUIText;

function OnMouseEnter(){
//change text color
renderer.material.color=Color.red;
}

function OnMouseExit(){
//change text color
renderer.material.color=Color.white;
}

function OnMouseUp(){
//is this quit
if (isQuit==true) {
//quit the game
Application.Quit();
}

if (isBack==true) {
//quit the game
Application.LoadLevel(0);

OnGui();
yield WaitForSeconds (2);
Application.LoadLevel(1);

}

if (isControls==true) {
//quit the game
Application.LoadLevel(2);

OnGui();
yield WaitForSeconds (2);
Application.LoadLevel(1);

}

else {
//load level
OnGui();
yield WaitForSeconds (2);
Application.LoadLevel(1);


}
}

function Update(){
//quit game if escape key is pressed
if (Input.GetKey(KeyCode.Escape)) { Application.Quit();
}
}

function OnGui()
{

LoadingText.guiText.enabled=true;

}


Drag and drop you loading text on to the variable and set up the levels according to your project
