In unity, you don’t actually use JavaScript as in ecmascript, but is commonly referred to as javascript and some times UnityScript since it’s an amalgamation of syntax that javascript looking and some other special spices.

What you’re, and i’m assuming, referring to is system.out.print form Java. The answer is nope, sorry wrong language, but Unity does have it’s own UI system, particurally rewritten in version 4.6+ to give some nice power to the designer/coder.

I would take a moment and review the tutorials about the new UI system and if your not using 4.6, give it a look(you can install multiple version side by side if you change the installation folder/directory).

UI Tutorials

It didnt exactly teach me what i needed to know i need to make a number entry game like how they have those text entry apps for trivia apps and such but thank you i didnt know they had so many tools.

Here is the code that i use before :

var stringToEdit : String[];

function Start()
{
	stringToEdit = new String[1];
	for (var i = 0; i < stringToEdit.Length; i++)
	{ stringToEdit *= String.Empty; }*

}
// Read From Input
function OnGUI()
{

  • GUI.BeginGroup (new Rect(SW/16,10,SW/4,SH/10));*
  •  for (var i = 0; i < stringToEdit.Length; i++)*

  •  {*

_ stringToEdit = GUILayout.TextField_
_ (stringToEdit*, 10, GUILayout.Width(SW/4),
 GUILayout.Width(SW/4),
 GUILayout.Height(SH/10));
 }
 GUI.EndGroup();
}
// Write input to a variable - call this function when press a button*
function Refister()
{
* var NameString: String;
 for (var i = 0; i < stringToEdit.length; i++)
{ NameString = NameString + stringToEdit.ToString(); }
}*
