Title: Why positions seems so funny when used UIAnchor
Post by: galuodo on September 06, 2013, 05:16:36 AM

When I set the position of a game object, it works well at first. However after I used UIAnchor so that the game can be fit other resolution, the positions have a large deviation after the resolution changed.

1.         void Update () {
2.                 ul.transform.position = sp.transform.position+ new Vector3(5,5,0);
3.         }
4.

Remember to set localPosition for UI stuff. Position is the global position which may vary and make no sense.

Well then you have to convert between local space and global space and maybe even screen space to be able to match everything. Setting some position + Vector3(5,0,0) can mean quite a difference when set in global space. Remember that NGUI operates in a very small global area (2 / UIRoot.activeHeight) so you should calculate how much you want to move in localSpace and convert to global.

I think there's a bunch of helper methods in NGUITools and NGUIMath that can help you as well.
