GUI menu how to make a list in a list. C#

Question

I'm still learning Unity and C# so I need help with t$$anonymous$$s. I'm creating a main menu w$$anonymous$$ch I want it to say play game, you click on it then host or refresh and if you click host I want another page of settings to start hosting the server, but instead when I click Play Game it skips the page with Host and Refresh and goes straight to the Host menu. I was wondering how I would change my code or add somet$$anonymous$$ng to it to allow me to do what I want. All the codes are in bits because I'm only including what I t$$anonymous$$nk is needed. C#

 private string clicked = "";
 
 private void OnGUI()



         if (GUI.Button(new Rect(Screen.width * (1.3f/18.55f),Screen.height * (50.08f/100.3f),Screen.width * (1.05f/6.55f), Screen.height * (0.45f/7.0f)),"Play Game"))
         {
             //code on what to do after clicked play
             clicked = "Play Game";
         }




     else if (clicked == "Play Game")
     {
         GUI.Button(new Rect(Screen.width * (1.3f/18.55f),Screen.height * (50.08f/100.3f),Screen.width * (1.05f/6.55f), Screen.height * (0.45f/7.0f)),"Host");
         {
             //What to do when Host is clicked
             clicked = "Host";
         }

My first advice, avoid string for states but maybe an enum or some booleans. First because it is slower than enum and second because you are more prone to error since an enum will not let you use anyt$$anonymous$$ng else than what is in.

Now for your issue:

 using UnityEngine;
 using System.Collections;

 public class NewBehaviourScript : MonoBehaviour {
 enum State{
    Play, HostRef, HostInfo
 }
 
 State current;
 void Start(){
     current = State.Play;
 }
  
 void OnGUI(){
     if(current ==State.Play){
         if (GUI.Button(new Rect(Screen.width * (1.3f/18.55f),Screen.height * (50.08f/100.3f),Screen.width * (1.05f/6.55f), Screen.height * (0.45f/7.0f)),"Play Game"))
         {
         //code on what to do after clicked play
         current = State.HostRef;
         }
     }else if(current ==State.HostRef){
         if (GUI.Button(new Rect(Screen.width * (1.3f/18.55f),Screen.height * (50.08f/100.3f),Screen.width * (1.05f/6.55f), Screen.height * (0.45f/7.0f)),"Hosting"))
         {
         //code on what to do after clicked play
             current = State.HostInfo;
         }
         if (GUI.Button(new Rect(Screen.width * (1.3f/18.55f),Screen.height * (50.08f/100.3f)*1.5f,Screen.width * (1.05f/6.55f), Screen.height * (0.45f/7.0f)),"Refresh"))
         {
         //code on what to do after clicked play
                 current = State.Play;
         }
     }else if(current == State.HostInfo){
     // Host info page
     }
 }

}

I assume Refresh is for going back but you put your own logic there
