Unity 3D enter Number in Inputfield and get an event

Question

In my game is a Gamobject. If I interact with it by pressing E the inputfield and the Submit button show up.

How can I enter something into the inputField? I figured out to get the mouse by pressing ESC but that aint a beautiful way to do it.

I have seen ways to save the value of inputFields as Strings. does it work the same way with integers?

Answer 1

Assuming you declared inputfield in your script:

public InputField inputField1;

Try to activate inputfield after showing it:

inputField1.ActivateInputField();

To save the value of inputField as integer you need to convert its value to int:

var value = int.Parse(inputField1.text);
