Hey everyone, i'm wondering if there's a way to read user's keyboard input and save it into a variable for later use since i want the user to insert a numeric speed value and watch my dashboard display it.

Thanks

try this:

var inputString : String;
private var saveString : String;

function OnGUI()
{
     inputString = GUI.TextArea(Rect(3, 3, Screen.width-6, Screen.height-36), inputString);
     if(GUI.Button(Rect(3, Screen.height-30, Screen.width/3, 30), "Save the current string"))
     {
          saveString = inputString;
     }
     if(GUI.Button(Rect(Screen.width/3+3, Screen.height-30, Screen.width/3, 30), "Make the text the saved string"))
     {
          inputString = saveString;
     }
     if(GUI.Button(Rect(((Screen.width/3)*2)+3, Screen.height-30, Screen.width/3, 30), "Add the saved string to the current string"))
     {
          inputString + saveString;
     }
}

The last one should be :

if(GUI.Button(Rect(((Screen.width/3)*2)+3, Screen.height-30, Screen.width/3, 30), “Add the saved string to the current string”))
{
inputString= inputString + saveString;
}
}
