    Hi there,

    I have a main menu in my game an it has a input field. I want to get the data from that input field and display it in the next scene. If anyone has any ideas on how I could do that that would be fantastic!

    Thanks

    Which part is confusing you? Getting the value from input field (InputField.value) or saving and retrieving it in the next scene?

    Get the InputField component from the object. Make sure you have a persistent object that stores such data - if it's permanent preferences, you can just use PlayerPrefs to save and load it. I'm sure that's what you need if you're entering it in the main menu. How to do each of those things can be found with a search.
