GUIText new line through inspector

[Mossey]

I know that in scripts you can go to new line in GUIText by typing in slash n.

What if I pass a String as a parameter to my script through inspector? I tried to put in the slash n in middle of my public var of type String - it doesn’t work. Is there any way around it?

public var objectiveDescription : String;
private var description : GameObject;

// Some code later...


description = new GameObject();
description.AddComponent(GUIText);
description.guiText.text = objectiveDescription;

You can’t manually type a newline character, but you can type multiline text in, say, Notepad, and then copy and paste it in.
