How do I make a level code system?
I'm wanting to make the loading of a level like it used to be in the nes days. this was by entering in a code that the game would give you and it would take you to the level. how would i do this? I have an empty level set up with an input field.
Could not reply your comment, so...
Unity have the "Input Field" (you can create it with the right click in the hierarchy window, under the canvas menu.
To do what you want, just do something like that:
var inputFiled : InputField
var yourString : String
function InputEnd()
{
yourString = inputField.text;
}
In the inputField reference, just drag and drop the InputField that you just created, then call that function by the InputField (it has an section "OnInputEnd" or something like that, just select that script, then). It should pick correctly the string typed by the player.
In the simplest case, after the user ended his input ( On End Edit event) check in a loop against the code values for the different levels and if the input is matching the level code you can load the corresponding level. From that base you can expand it in the artistic direction you like.
if(inputcode==levelcode)
{
SceneManager.LoadScene("levelname");
}
predefine the levels based on levelcode..then compare it with input code.
Several ways of doing this, depends on your needs really. This should work to some extent atleast.
if(yourString.Contains("YourLevelCode"))
{
//logic
Application.LoadLevel("x")
}

lol, "yourString" should be replaced with the string you are getting from player's input...
