Hi, i need to make a gui in unity and provide a combo box widget. Any drop-down list will do. Basically I need to provide the user a list of strings and then know which one the user has selected. Any ideas?

thanks

If you need custom strings, you can probably modify that script to do that.

thanks, it is close to what i want. do you know how to achieve the dropdown effect?

Sorry, I never really used UnityGUI, I found this script searching google and the unity community...which is generally a good idea to do. I am certain somebody already programmed a dropdown menu for Unity, you could find out how they did it there and use it for your case. Most liekly, it's an animation (iTween/AniMate/Unity) that is triggered when you click the list.

Working example for editor GUI

int selected = 0;
string[] options = new string[]
{
    "Option1", "Option2", "Option3", 
};
selected = EditorGUILayout.Popup("Label", selected, options);
