      public void setFontSize(float size)
      Sets the font size for the text field. Please note that Unity currently only supports pixel values for text fields.

      Note: This is just a helper method. Internally it only changes the style fontSize value!
      Parameters:
      size - the font size in pixels.

    • setFontColor

      public void setFontColor(float r, float g, float b, float a)
      Sets a font color for the text field.

      Note: This is just a helper method. Internally it changes the style color property!
      Parameters:
      r - the new red component for the font color (0-1).
      g - the new green component for the font color (0-1).
      b - the new blue component for the font color (0-1).
      a - the new alpha component (opacity) for the font color (0-1).

    • setFontColor

      public void setFontColor(int rgba)
      Sets a font color for the label.

      Note: This is just a helper method. Internally it changes the style color property!
      Parameters:
      rgba - an int RGBA value describing the new color (e.g 0xFF0000FF for fully opaque red etc).

    • getCurrentText

      public void getCurrentText(Player player, Callback<String> callback)
      Gets the current text of the textfield. Since the text will be received from the client, you have to work with callbacks: The callback gets invoked once the server has queried the text field from the client.
      Parameters:
      player - the player you want to get the text from.
      callback - the callback which will be called once the text has been received from the client.
      Example: Get text from textfield using lambda expression
      1textField.getCurrentText(player, (String txt) -> {
      2 System.out.println("Text: " + txt);
      3});
