And now I want to know a way like send message that you put the name in the text field and that name will appear during gameplay.

I think you’re a bit confused between the component GUIText and functions from UnityGUI such as GUI.Label or GUI.TextField.

Anyway, message can’t be sent through scene as only the one loaded exist. You can use, however, a static var or a game object with DontDestroyOnLoad to retrieve the data once the level is loaded.
