C# \n won't break to a new line

Question

I've been looking around on how to get a long string to break to a new line and I came across \n but however everything after \n doesn't display can I get some help? Thanks in advance.

     void OnGUI() {
     GUI.Label(new Rect(10, 10, 100, 20), "line one \n line two");
 }

Your Rect height is too small to display all lines.

try this instead :

 void OnGUI() {
    GUI.Label(new Rect(10, 10, 100, 40), "line one \n line two");
 }

I have big rect , but still not working...

GUI.Box(new Rect (Screen.width 0.2f , Screen.height 0.2f,500,300),"Racing 3D is exiting racing game for one \\n who like to play 3D game. This game takes input from the touch for acceleration and tilt for the left right movement");

You need to add new line separator in your text : \n Also look at : http://forum.unity3d.com/threads/multiple-lines-of-story-in-one-gui-box.74970/

@watermy You sir are awesome. I was working with the UFO 2D tutorial and was making minor edits to the "You Win!" test to add a "/nPress ESC to quit" and I was thinking the /n didn't work, but silly me, the text box was too small...

In the Inpector you can set the Text's Vertical Overflow property to overflow . If it is set to truncate it wont worked for me.
