Question by POLYGAMe · Jul 01, 2012 at 04:37 AM · strings

How to retrieve system/computer name?

Hi there,

Is it possible at all to access the name of the Windows computer you are using, save that to a string and then use that as the player's name within the game? I understand how strings work etc, would just like to know how to access the user's PC name... is this possible with Unity?

Cheers!

In C#, use System.Environment.UserName (http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/System.Environment.aspx). I'm afraid I can't help you in JavaScript.

P.s. This works on Mac and Windows... Just thought I'd mention that

That's not C#, that's .NET, which works the same in all languages.
