Wraping text to fit in a gui box
I need to know what code to use to make a string fit in a GUI box, when the string is longer than width of the GUI box... any ideas?
The UI Text class has built in Vertical and Horizontal Overflow properties:
If you're using New Unity 5 then it's easier to now drag and drop the box and set the overflow properties to false.

Use a custom GUI Skin and change the Box's WordWrap parameter to true in the inspector.
Alternatively, you could create a new GUI Style on the fly and use this with changed settings, using the current GUI Skin's Box style as a base.
Pseudocode, not tested:
GUIStyle style = GUIStyle.Box;
style.wordWrap = true;
GUI.Box(yourRect, yourText, style);
