GetKeyUp Problem
I'm trying to run a simple code that will print something when I press the Space Bar. I'm very new to coding, so I apologize if the answer is simple and I overlooked it. The problem is that nothing is being printed in the console when I press the Space Bar.
var MenuScreen : int = 0;
if (MenuScreen == 0) {
if (Input.GetKeyUp(KeyCode.Space)){
print ("Bacon");
}
}
Any help is greatly appreciated! :)
AH, Sorry. The problem is that nothing is being printed into the console whenever I press the space bar.
Use unity's method for displaying test (i.e Debug.Log("SO$$anonymous$$ETHING");)
here are some more visual displays to console Debug

void Update()
{
if(Input.GetKeyUp(KeyCode.Space) && MenuScreen==0)
print("Bacon");
}
This is incorrect as well. You need to use Debug.Log for it to show in the console.
Actually this worked perfectly fine. I got exactly the results I needed for this. Thanks! I needed to put this into JavaScript though, but I managed to do that pretty easily. I do believe that the problem was that I didn't have a function update. Thanks everyone though!

Debug.Log and Debug.LogError are the main log functions that you should be using, not print.
Also, make sure your script is actually a component of a gameobject in the scene.
If that doesn't solve your issue, check to make sure there are no compiler errors.
Thanks.

The code where you check if the spacebar is pressed , is it placed within the update method of your script ? It will likely not be registered by the script because it maybe only run once.
Try adding it to your update method/ function in the case of javascript
And also use
Debug.Log("BACON");
if you want to output something to the console
