Hello and welcome, I am your Code Monkey and here you will learn everything about Game Development in Unity 2D using C#.

Add an Input Window so you can ask the Player for a Name or a Score. Combine it with the Highscore Table created in a previous video.

A cool addiction would be to talk about hoverable/draggable panels for this one.

Hi, I am new to unity and have been following your tutorials. I have it set so that when I hover over the button it should go a lighter green like in the video but the background seems to vanish instead. Why would this be?

[wanchester]

where can i het the utils and can u send the project download link here because the website telling me error

[ericouellet]

Very nice. Do you support paste? If yes, what will happen?

[ericouellet]

Also, when you create a Singleton, you should overide constructor(s) and make it (them) private.

I made one function in which i get the player game chances and scores from the playerpref now I have to add that score on the highscoreTable. just tell how to add that score that Iam getting by the playerprefs?

Nobody is making these kinds of videos. Most gamedev yts only cover the basics like movement and stuff so it's really nice seeing these videos. What keyboard are you using? It sounds good compared to my cherry MX blue keyboard.

Hi!
I can't set the Action to onClick event in a regular button (8:10), is possible to implement it somehow without using a custom button class?

HELP!!! How do I get an INPUT FIELD for a MOBILE device..I bbed to enter a name for the high score table on ANDROID how do i do this? ive tried

[SoundsByK]

Nice one.
Could you explain how to implement Game Controller (Dualshock 4, XBOX One, Touch, etc.) for UI?
Im using (new) InputSystem 1.0, but i also got headache to implement it.

Maybe you know a good way to simplify that process.

When I hide and show the input field the previous text is still there, how do I make it blank again? Thanks

[igorbeaver]

Thanks for that great small details in your video, like Keycode.KeypadEnter in addition to just Return. Super professional.

I've done my input "formatter" for name(just what i needed) like this:

inputName.characterLimit = 4;
inputName.onValidateInput += delegate (string s, int i, char c) { return char.IsLetter(c)? char.ToUpper(c) : '\0'; };

It caps the input in 4 and accepts only characters, with changes always to Lettercases.

IM HAVING AN ERROR IN THE UTILS IN THE WORD ASSITS IN ALL LINES

[ericouellet]

Lastly.... Thank you, I really appeciate because I have zero experience on Unity!

Hi! Do you have any solution to detect events on overlapped UI elements? If the upper one has Event Trigger than the bottom one can't receive events like Drag, PoiterDown etc. I'm making a complex mindmap UI on Unity so this feature will make my life much easier.
It seems there should be a simple and clean solution, but can't find any on the internet for a long time.
Do you have any thoughts on this?
