i cant figure out how Script should be…this is my script…
please let me know what to do…

function FixedUpdate(){
	if(Input.GetKeyDown("a")){
	print("letter A");
	box1.gameObject.SetActive(true);
        letterA.gameObject.SetActive(true);
	//audio.Play();
	}
	else if (Input.GetKeyDown("b")||(Input.GetKeyDown("c"))){
       letterB.gameObject.SetActive(false);
        letterC.gameObject.SetActive(false);
	print("No Letter");

	//audio.Play();
	}

Hello paul___ . What are you using to display your letters 3d mesh, gui, or materials ?

3D…from A-Z, I just make it children to my Box1 and then duplicate it then rename it to Box2…

Wow i think this is a very Complicated way.

I suggest u to use a Prefab:

Create Empty GameObject
Parent the Cube
Parent the TextMesh

If it looks like u want it, create a Prefab of it.

Then make one Script:

using UnityEngine;
using System.Collections;

public class LetterBoxHandler : MonoBehaviour {
    public GameObject textCube;
    public string SearchedWort;

    private int currentPosition = 0;
    private string lastPressedKey;
    private char[] searchedLetters;

    void Start()
    {
        searchedLetters = SearchedWort.ToUpper().ToCharArray(); //ToUpper maybe?
    }

	void Update ()
    {
        if (Input.anyKeyDown)
        {
            if (searchedLetters[currentPosition].ToString() == lastPressedKey)
            {
                GameObject cube = Instantiate(textCube, new Vector3(currentPosition * 1.1f, 0, 0), Quaternion.identity) as GameObject;
                cube.GetComponentInChildren<TextMesh>().text = lastPressedKey;
                currentPosition++;
            }
        }
	}

    void OnGUI()
    {
        Event e = Event.current;

        if (e.isKey  e.keyCode != KeyCode.None)
        {
            lastPressedKey = e.keyCode.ToString().ToUpper();
        }
    }
}

This should do it…

that script will disable last pressed key?? sorry im not familiarize with Cscript…
I already Parent them before i post in this forum

No. How u want the scene to look like after Initial? Do u want Boxes with all Letters overlapping and then remove the Letters pressed on Keyboard?

10

i want my boxes one letter per box [E] [L] [L] [O]…just like that…i just cant figure it out how will I make it on script without them overlapping.

11

do you have skype sir?

12

No. I don’t use Skype anymore, sorry.

You have your GameObject/Transform with a TextMesh on it, to change the Text of that TextMesh component u use:

cube.GetComponentInChildren().text = “YourKeyHere”;
