use InputField value in script

Unity Engine
1

I would like to take in value for the editor, I have created a InputField which takes in only number.
now i want to bring the values in to script as integer and manipulate it.

2

Is this an editor script or an inputfield from a scene/game?

What does your script look like so far?

3

im working with c#, how do I assign the value from the inputfield to an int variable in c#?

My script looks bad!:smile:

Use UnityEngine.UI

Create field “public InputField someText” before public void Start() and drag your InputField there(in the inspector).Now you can access that control in your script.

if you use the previous poster’s example, you can get the input from “someText.text” :slight_smile:
