We need to ask us a specific things for us to help, try not to just paste your entire code and ask how to fix a random thing to it.
You will need to drag in a text UI and assign a var to it and change with get GetComponent()

i apoligize im new to posting questions here.... to mannually upload a score i user the awake funtion like below but i would like to user userinput ins$$anonymous$$d
public Awake()
{
AddNewHighscore("Ryan",500);
}
public static void AddNewHighscore(string username, int score)
{
instance.StartCoroutine(instance.UploadNewHighscore(username,score)); }
IEnumerator UploadNewHighscore(string username, int score)
{
WWW www = new WWW(webURL + privateCode + "/add/" + WWW.EscapeURL(username) + "/" + score);
yield return www;
if (string.IsNullOrEmpty(www.error)) {
print ("Upload Successful");
DownloadHighscores();
}
else {
print ("Error uploading: " + www.error);
}
}
No problem, So if I understand your question correct you want to upload the score when a user inputs their name?
You are using UI anyways? Why not just use their button functions ins$$anonymous$$d so when a player inputs their name and clicks a button you can pass their name and score as an argument to whatever function you want.
https://unity3d.com/learn/tutorials/modules/beginner/ui/ui-events-and-event-triggers
Once you create a button in unity and assign the call function when a user presses down you can call AddNewHighscore You just have to make the function public and have the class attached to the object. Either way watch the video.
From there you can make anything: public void AddNewHighscore(string userName, int Score) { //Upload score and name }
yes that is what im trying to do everything i have tried has not worked for instance in android when i pass user input i do something like
String username = userName.getText.toString;
is it sorta the same for unity user input?
Oh, Okay I am not too familiar with android string formatting but you can try String username = userName.toString();
