Title: Animated Sprite Buttons
Post by: Cosmas on May 29, 2012, 11:15:02 PM

I'm sure this has been covered but I can't seem to find anything on it, maybe I'm using the wrong terms?

So I would like to have a sprite button with different animated sprite effects for each condition: Normal, Hover, Disabled, Active.
How would one go about doing this? Is it currently possible? If not, is it a planned feature?

You can create your own custom button using one or more sprite with UISpriteAnimation on them. Slap a collider on top, and it's a button. You'll need to add your own logic as to what will animate when though -- by simply adding an OnHover function and doing something inside.

Many thanks ArenMook,
Here's my basic implementation if anyone is interested. Not the best way obviously, but given that the UISpriteAnimation List<> isn't accessible externally its one quick solution:

1. using UnityEngine;
2. using System.Collections.Generic;
3.  
4.         public class UIAnimatedButton : MonoBehaviour
5.         {
6.         public UIAtlas normalSprite;
7.         public UIAtlas hoverSprite;
8.         public UIAtlas pressedSprite;
9.  
10.         private UISprite buttonObject;
11.         private UISpriteAnimation anime;
12.  
13.         public void Awake()
14.         {
15.             buttonObject = gameObject.GetComponent<UISprite>();
16.             anime = gameObject.GetComponent<UISpriteAnimation>();
17.         }
18.  
19.         public void OnMouseEnter()
20.         {
21.             Destroy(anime);
22.             buttonObject.atlas = hoverSprite;
23.             gameObject.AddComponent<UISpriteAnimation>();
24.         }
25.  
26.         public void OnMouseExit()
27.         {
28.             Destroy(anime);
29.             buttonObject.atlas = normalSprite;
30.             gameObject.AddComponent<UISpriteAnimation>();
31.         }
32.  
33.         public void OnMouseDown()
34.         {
35.             Destroy(anime);
36.             buttonObject.atlas = pressedSprite;
37.             gameObject.AddComponent<UISpriteAnimation>();
38.         }
39.  
40. }
