Get Text from an Input Field on one scene and use it as a text on another scene Unity c#
So I have a script where I get text from an input field and when I start the game the text appears in the game as a "NickName" feature. I have almost gotten it but there is one thing left to my knowledge that i need to fix. Here is my script:
using UnityEngine; using System.Collections; using UnityEngine.UI;
public class PlayerName : MonoBehaviour { public string Name;
public Transform Nick;
public GameObject name1;
public Transform SaveData;
public Transform Canvas;
public Button start;
public bool IsInGame = false;
void Start ()
{
DontDestroyOnLoad(SaveData);
DontDestroyOnLoad(Canvas);
Name = Nick.GetComponent<InputField>().text;
}
void Update ()
{
Name = Nick.GetComponent<InputField>().text;
if(IsInGame == true)
{
Debug.LogError("You are in a game");
name1 = transform.Find("NickName").gameObject;
name1.GetComponent<Text>().text = Name;
if (transform.Find("NickName") != null)
{
Debug.Log("The Editor has found the object 'Nickname'.");
}
else
{
Debug.LogError("The editor cannot find the object 'Nickname'.");
}
}
if(IsInGame == false)
{
Debug.LogError("you are not in a game");
}
}
}
(IsInGame is true when my Script StartGame script is activated)
my problem inlies that it cannot find the transform NickName. I get a nullReferenceExeption error and the LogError to catch if the transform is null does not appear in the Console.
Thank You for helping me!
