Question

I've been having some problems getting the name display to work, turns out I just needed some curly braces in there. However now when I load my main menu the scene is skipping straight into my main level scene without the 'start' button being pressed. The scene loads for a couple of seconds then skips. This aspect of the scene was working perfectly until I input the new code, so I have a feeling I've put the new script in the wrong place.

if (GUI.Button (new Rect(Screen.width/2-buttonWidth/2,
           buttonyPosition,buttonWidth,buttonHeight), "Start"))
    {
    GameObject gameData=GameObject.Find("GameData");
    if (gameData!=null)
       {
         GameDataScript gameDataScript=gameData.GetComponent<GameDataScript>();
         gameDataScript.playerName=nameText;
       }
    }
    {
       //load the level
       StartCoroutine(PlayButtonClick());
       Application.LoadLevel("PhysicsLab");
    }

The new code causing the problem is the part about GameObjects.

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Of course it does. Align your brackets and you will see that your bottom most code block is just outside your if statement:

if (GUI.Button (new Rect(Screen.width/2-buttonWidth/2,
       buttonyPosition,buttonWidth,buttonHeight), "Start"))
{
    GameObject gameData=GameObject.Find("GameData");
    if (gameData!=null)
    {
        GameDataScript gameDataScript=gameData.GetComponent<GameDataScript>();
        gameDataScript.playerName=nameText;
    }
}
// THIS IS NOT WITHIN THE BUTTON IF BLOCK
{
   //load the level
   StartCoroutine(PlayButtonClick());
   Application.LoadLevel("PhysicsLab");
}

I can't tell how you want / need this code fraction to be, but it's quite obvious that's your problem. Probably you just want the Loadlevel piece just inside the if block.

Game is skipping from main menu into playable level without the 'start' button being pressed.
