Hi, I´ve made simple Login system but I want to upgrade it with new Unity 4.6 beta UI. Basically I need to replace old GUI with new UI Inputfield and I don´t know how.

Here is my script

private var formNick = ""; //this is the field where the player will put the name to login
private var formPassword = ""; //this is his password
var formText = ""; //this field is where the messages sent by PHP script will be in
 
var URL = ""; //change for your URL
var hash = ""; //change your secret code, and remember to change into the PHP file too
 
private var textrect = Rect (10, 150, 500, 500); //just make a GUI object rectangle
function OnGUI() {
    GUI.Label( Rect (10, 10, 80, 20), "Your nick:" ); //text with your nick
    GUI.Label( Rect (10, 30, 80, 20), "Your pass:" );
 
    formNick = GUI.TextField ( Rect (90, 10, 100, 20), formNick ); //here you will insert the new value to variable formNick
    formPassword = GUI.TextField ( Rect (90, 30, 100, 20), formPassword ); //same as above, but for password
 
    if ( GUI.Button ( Rect (10, 60, 100, 20) , "Try login" ) ){ //just a button
        Login();
    }
    GUI.TextArea( textrect, formText );
}

function Login() {
    var form = new WWWForm(); //here you create a new form connection
    form.AddField( "myform_hash", hash ); //add your hash code to the field myform_hash, check that this variable name is the same as in PHP file
    form.AddField( "myform_nick", formNick );
    form.AddField( "myform_pass", formPassword );
    var w = WWW(URL, form); //here we create a var called 'w' and we sync with our URL and the form
    yield w; //we wait for the form to check the PHP file, so our game dont just hang
    if (w.error != null) {
        print(w.error); //if there is an error, tell us
    } else {
        print("Test ok");
        formText = w.data; //here we return the data our PHP told us
        w.Dispose(); //clear our form in game
    }
 
    formNick = ""; //just clean our variables
    formPassword = "";
}

Please help.

Upgrading to the beta is pretty simple, but it takes some different thinking. Rough steps as follows

  1. Create a GUI element for ever GUI.xxx statement. Currently its easier to make these visually, but scripting support is available. Details on each element can be found in the learn section videos.
  2. Create a separate function for each button. Connect to the button via the editor
  3. The text in your input fields can be accessed via properties.

You are unlikely to find any more then that. Every one is learning the new system. Noone is going to write your new code for you. You can also check out the beta forums for more assistance.
