How to make a Keypad for a locked door

As your next step, play with GUI.Button() as one way to display the buttons for your keypad.

i am using a photoshop image as a keypad as per my instructions in the assignment. what i have to do now it put a password field into this so that the player can input a 5 digit password on the keyboard and then press enter. after that the password will be compared to a pre written one. if they match an animated door is activated and the key pad gui is deactivated, if they dont match then the password field just resets so they can try again. but without seeing the code to do these things specifically i cant really work with just the walkthrough stuff on the site. its just not how my brain works. please if anyone can provide me with examples of code that i could use. they dont even have to do specifically what i need just something i can build off of, like how to make a password field accept keyboard input, and or how to set its password and such. im a total novice and my $$anonymous$$cher is of little help.

You should add this text as a comment to my answer. (Click more -> convert to comment.) As for your problem, it's not just solved in a few lines of code and we have nothing to start out with. Just try yourself, and if you get stuck come back. I don't think someone will completely write this for you.

Given your new description, you need to look at either GUI.TextField() or GUI.PasswordField() depending on the specification in your assignment. After you have the field up and running, Google something "Unity3d GUI.Textfield Enter" to figure out how to capture the enter key. $$anonymous$$ake an attempt to code it yourself. If you get stuck, come back with your attempt.

alright after looking at the pages you guys recommended i have a decent update for my code. the password field appears where it needs to and receives input. There are only 2 things i have left to get working for this to be ready. i need to make it so that the gui only appears while a player is inside a certain trigger, and while i have code for capturing one of the return keys for some reason it doesnt seem to be working.

 using UnityEngine;
 using System.Collections;
 
 
 
 public class $$anonymous$$eyPad: $$anonymous$$onoBehaviour {
 
     public Texture2D icon;
     public string SetPassword = "12345";
     public string PlayerPassword = "";
     void OnGUI () {
         GUI.Box (new Rect (10,10,300,300), new GUIContent(icon));
         PlayerPassword = GUI.PasswordField (new Rect(60, 60, 200, 35), PlayerPassword, "*"[0],35);
         
         if(Input.Get$$anonymous$$ey($$anonymous$$eyCode.$$anonymous$$eypadEnter))
         {  
             
             if(PlayerPassword == SetPassword)
             {
             transform.Translate(Vector3.left * 2 * Time.deltaTime);
             }
             
         }
         
     }
             
     
 
 }

i was thinking of using a GUI.Enable set up but i wouldn't know how to code a trigger for it since all the triggers i know work with game objects not scripts. oh and does anyone know how to change the text size in a password field?
