Get text from Input field in C#

Hi there Bannax, I think this should help with what you are trying to do.

http://stackoverflow.com/questions/28273062/get-text-from-input-field-in-unity3d-with-c-sharp

this isn't C# but I think you are trying to access the input text. I'm not quite sure what you mean but I think I might be able to help. Use the variable UI.InputField. When you do that make sure you assign you InputField gameobject to the variable I.E.

 var textobject : UI.InputField
 
 function Update () {
 if (textobject.text == "hello")
 {
 Application.LoadLevel("Hello")
 }
 }

In that example I checked to make sure that the input field text read "hello" after that I unity load a level called "Hello". In your case if you are trying to make a user name you would need to make the InputField text a string.

I looked around the internet for hours without finding any simple solution for checking the InputField text. I tested the above code out in my own game and it worked. Like I said above I'm not sure what you are trying to do but I hope this helps. If you have any problems please feel free to message me and I will do my best to help you solve them.

This works for me.

  using UnityEngine.UI;
       public Text Username_field;
       //then drag and drop the Username_field
       
       string userID = Username_field.text.ToString();

 public class test : MonoBehaviour {
     void Start ()
     {
         var input = gameObject.GetComponent<InputField>();
         var se= new InputField.SubmitEvent();
         se.AddListener(SubmitName);
         input.onEndEdit = se;
 
         //or simply use the line below, 
         //input.onEndEdit.AddListener(SubmitName);  // This also works
     }
 
     private void SubmitName(string arg0)
     {
         Debug.Log(arg0);
     }
 }

Have you checked this out... it may help
