Create a GUI button for each line of text in a text file.

Unity Engine

I want the first GUI button to display the first line, the second GUI button to display the second line, etc.
I also want to be able to tell in the script (c#) witch button was clicked. Any Ideas?

You’ll have you use a stream reader or text reader basically. For the GUI it should be simple to add the buttons…

public class AlterMyName : MonoBehaviour 
{
	public List<TextObjects> readInFile = new List<TextObjects>();
	void Awake()
	{
		for(int i = 0; i < 10; i++)
		{
			readInFile.Add(new TextObject("Test" + i, "Test" + i " + Value");
		}
	}
	
	void OnGUI()
	{
		Rect buttonRectDescending = new Rect(10, 10, 100, 50);
	    for(int i = 0; i < readInFile.Count; i++)
	    {
			Rect buttonRectDescending = new Rect(10, 10+(i*55), 100, 50);
			if(GUI.Button(buttonRectDescending, readInFile[i].myName))
			{
				Debug.Log("Caught this Action" + readInFile[i].myName + " Value: " + readInfile[i].myValue)
			}
		}
	}

	public class TextObjects
	{
		public TextObjects(string name, string val)
		{
			this.myName = name;
			this.myValue = val;
		}

		public string myName;
		public string myValue;
	}
}

Side note… I don’t recommend using Unity GUI… But its good for beginners.
