unity2D how to make InputField check is text is the same as string in script?

Question

I need to make an InputField for my game, where a player will be writing the answer for the puzzle they will have on the screen.

This InputField need to check if the text that player wrote is the same as string in the script.

I have tried writing things like getcomponent from the text in inputfield and checking it with "if" but its not working.

Can someone help out with a sample of how to get the text from an InputField?

Answer 1

You can get the text of the InputField with Inputfield.text

the detailed Explanation is in the Api-Doc https://docs.unity3d.com/2019.1/Documentation/ScriptReference/UI.InputField-text.html

With that it is just a comparison if two Strings are equal.

In Code it could look like this:

public InputField input;

public void Start()
{
    if(input.text == "Text to Compare"){
    }
}

And for the Future, it´s always nice if you post your own Code. It´s much easier to get a grasp of the Situation then.
