So basically, a user is gonna type in the hours in an inputfield and I'm gonna get the amount they write as an int in my code.

C#

public InputField hours, minutes; 
public int wantedHours, wantedMinutes;

Basically what I want is that people are gonna write a value in the inputfields. One of the inputfields is gonna be the hours you see in my code and the other one is gonna be minutes. What I want is to get those inputfield inputs as wantedHours and wantedMinutes.

What I have tried:

I have tried some things but I realized they were not related to the thing I want to get so they were basically useless.

Where is the code that you actually try to access those fields?

THIS WORKED FOR ME:

C#

string wantedHoursString = hours.text;

if (int.TryParse(hours.text, out int result))
{
    wantedHours = result;
}

string wantedMinuteString = minutes.text;

if (int.TryParse(minutes.text, out int resultt))
{
    wantedMinutes = resultt;
}
