Is there any way to cycle text with textmesh script?
I'm interested in cycling text so i can display different text on my 2D game.
I have try the script on this website. But I don't think it works. Maybe I'm doing something wrong?
using System.Collections;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using UnityEngine;
using TMPro;
public class CyclingText : MonoBehaviour
{
public TMP_Text text;
void Update()
{
TextMeshPro textmeshPro = GetComponent<TextMeshPro>();
textmeshPro.SetText("The first number is {0} and the 2nd is {1:2} and the 3rd is {3:0}.", 4, 6.345f, 3.5f);
// The text displayed will be:
// The first number is 4 and the 2nd is 6.35 and the 3rd is 4.
}
}
Can someone provide me with an answer or explained what I done wrong?
You seem a bit confused about the use of TMP
1
If you set the TMP in the inspector as public you can simply
public TMP_text text;
And then simply drag the text inside the inspector and simply:
text.text = "Text displayed";
2
If you don't create a public variable but a private, you can:
private TMP_text text;
And then, if you script is in the text object you can:
text = this.gameObject.GetCOmponent<TextMeshPro>();
And
text.text = "Your text";

I am totally new in programmation and unity, so I have hard time with basically everything!
Here is my issue : I have a 2D static game with a grid of boxes. each box is made of buttons to click.
I want all the boxes but one not visible at the beginning, and then the box have a button to make boxes appears one by one.
here is my code :
using System.Collections;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using UnityEngine;
public class OpenBox : MonoBehaviour
{
// Start is called before the first frame update
private GameObject boite1;
void Start()
{
box1 = GetComponent<Box1> ();
}
void Update()
{
if (Input.GetKeyUp(KeyCode.Space))
{
box1.enabled = true;
}
}
}
The "Box1" is underline in red with message : CS0246, The type or namespace name could not be found.
I am not sure I know how to refer to the game object.
thank you for your help !
try use
gameObject.SetActive(false);

I'm trying to make an app in Unity which requires your name and other details. I'm using the legacy Input Field to get the answers from the player which worked, but I can't seem to use the Input in any way other than Debug.Log.
using System.Collections;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using UnityEngine;
public class ReadInput : MonoBehaviour
{
private string input;
// Start is called before the first frame update
void Start()
{
}
// Update is called once per frame
void Update()
{
}
public void ReadStringInput(string s)
{
input = s;
Debug.Log(input);
}
}
I used this simple script to get the input but I have no clue how to actually use it in the game. It want it to say, for example, Welcome,(Person's Name/Input) outside of the log and actually into a text object.
If you right click in the hierarchy, under UI you can add a text object. I like to use a free package called Text Mesh Pro, which you can get in the asset store, but you don't need to.
Once you've made your text object, it should appear as a child of a gameobject called the Canvas. The text object should have a text field that you can access from script.
Text mytext;
public void UpdateMyText(string s)
{
mytext.text = s;
}
Here's the documentation
Just drag the text object into the script's mytext field in the inspector, and call that function when you want to update your text.
using System.Collections;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using UnityEngine;
using UnityEngine.UI;
public class wastafel : MonoBehaviour
{
public Text ctText;
public static int iscucitangan;//scoring
public int handwash;
void update()
{
handwash = iscucitangan;
ctText.text = "Sudah cuci tangan :" + handwash;
}
}
I tried this script to display a scoring system I made in unity (I use this video as reference : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YKeXyaB41EA). I applied this code to a text UI object in my program like this. This is the CT text object. But when I press play, it came up like this, no change at all.
This is my text setting. Is there something that I miss?
It is caused because of the typo, it should be Update() with a capital U and not update().
I'm trying to add a scoring method in my Unity phone game by changing the UI text.
Here is My code:
using UnityEngine;
using UnityEngine.UI;
public class ScoreDisplay : MonoBehaviour
{
// Start is called before the first frame update
[SerializeField]private Text m_MyText;
void Start()
{
m_MyText.text = "This is my text";
}
// Update is called once per frame
void Update()
{
m_MyText.text = "UWU";
}
}
Nothing pops up when I search for a text object:
And I cannot drag the mesh text into the public variable. Any help would be appreciated, thank you.
Text is a legacy element and is mostly unused. Instead, you want Text Mesh Pro's text component which is under the TMPro namespace. The componant is called TextMeshProUGUI.
Replace
[SerializeField]private Text m_MyText;
with
[SerializeField]private TMPro.TextMeshProUGUI m_MyText;
The TextMeshProUGUI componant has a text field, so your code should work as normal after replacing the line.
As I'm currently developing a Unity Engine based Game right now I need a PointerEnter EventTrigger to change my Text dynamically. Specifically:
If the user hovers with the Mouse in the MainMenu over a Text, I want an indicator on which Option he is pointing at.
So from Options the Text should turn to ▶ Options.
What I did is the following:
Text text;
string ContinueText = "▶ Continue";
void Awake()
{
// Set up the reference.
text = GetComponent<Text>();
}
public void Test()
{
text.text = ContinueText;
}
But if I hover over the Text I get
NullReferenceException: Object reference not set to an instance of an object
pointing at text.text = ContinueText;
So I searched around the Web and found that void Update() is sometimes called before Awake(), the Error stays the same anyway. The Canvas-Text is named "Text_Options", in case you need that.
Thanks for helping me out!
Here is an working example.
A canvas with an empty gameobject (has a vertical layout group, but thats not relevant) that is a container for two text objects.
I've added two event triggers each, OnPointerEnter and OnPointerExit. Both text objects have my script HoverText on them:
using UnityEngine;
using System.Collections;
using UnityEngine.UI;
public class HoverText : MonoBehaviour
{
Text text;
public string content = "Text A";
public string contentHighlighted = "▶ Text A";
void Awake()
{
text = GetComponent<Text>();
text.text = content;
}
public void Highlight()
{
text.text = contentHighlighted;
}
public void UnHighlight()
{
text.text = content;
}
}
Text_A has itself as gameobject for it's both event triggers and Text_B itself respectively. The public strings for the two different text contents are set via inspector (default value from script is actually matching Text_A in my example).
That's it, works fine.
