Title: Sprite.inner /.outer replacement?
Post by: Sigh@iCreate on October 21, 2013, 09:30:36 AM
Hi guys, dont know if I can get much help on this, but I am a little stuck and I cant figure this out.

I got code quite similar to this a while back from these forums and it is used to create a new atlas for use on ngui buttons.

Prior to updating, the code below worked fine, but since updating I am getting errors.
I have pasted the code and the error areas are commented.

  1. private void CreateAtlas()
  2.         {
  3.                 atlasTexture = new Texture2D(1, 1);
  4.                 spriteCoordInfo = atlasTexture.PackTextures(textureArray, 0);
  5.                
  6.                 atlasMat = new Material(Shader.Find("Unlit/Transparent Colored"));
  7.                 atlasMat.SetTexture("_MainTex", atlasTexture);         
  8.                
  9.                 myAtlas.GetComponent<UIAtlas>();
  10.                 myAtlas.spriteMaterial = atlasMat;
  11.                 myAtlas.coordinates = UIAtlas.Coordinates.TexCoords;      <--- Error 1
  12.                
  13.                 myAtlas.spriteList.Clear();
  14.                
  15.                 for(int i  = 0; i < spriteCoordInfo.Length; i++)
  16.                 {
  17.                         Rect coordinate = spriteCoordInfo[i];
  18.                         UIAtlas.Sprite sprite = new UIAtlas.Sprite();   ****           
  19.                         sprite.name = names[i];
  20.                         sprite.inner = coordinate;              <---- error 2
  21.                         sprite.outer = coordinate;             <---- error 3
  22.                         sprite.paddingBottom = 0;
  23.                         sprite.paddingTop = 0;
  24.                         sprite.paddingLeft = 0;
  25.                         sprite.paddingRight = 0;
  26.                         myAtlas.spriteList.Add(sprite);                
  27.                 }
  28. }

I can remove the lines listed, and then change this line
  1.  UIAtlas.Sprite sprite = new UIAtlas.Sprite();  ****   
and replace it with
  1. UISpriteData sprite = new UISpriteData();
   but when I then assign the new sprites to my buttons I am getting new errors which are:
aabb.IsValid()
!IsFinite(outDistanceForSort)
UnityEditor.DockArea:OnGUI()
!IsFinite(outDistanceAlongView)
UnityEditor.DockArea:OnGUI()
!IsFinite(outDistanceForSort)
!IsFinite(outDistanceAlongView)
These errors just repeat themselves over and over.

I am fairly new to Unity and NGUI, so I apologise if this wastes anyones time, I will continue to try and fix this myself too!

Thanks in advance for any time and advice given.

Sigh

edit: I should note, that I believe the errors to be caused by the fact that the sprites are being added without their inner/outer coordinates? as a result, when rendering the sprite, the coordinates are (id imagine) 0, 0, 0, 0 ?

I did find a SetRect within spritedata, but that takes 4 int values? is this the replacement? if so, does this mean I need to get pixel coordinates from my packtextures line? rather than texcoords? Thanks again

Well, first of all... there are no more atlas coordinates. It's always in pixels now. TexCoords option was removed.

Second, the UIAtlas.Sprite is not used anymore (which reminds me, I should make it private now...)

Use UISpriteData instead. It contains much more understandable values for X, Y, width, height, border, and padding.

Hey ArenMook, thank you very much for getting back to me so quick.

I looked through your code and saw the changes which you mentioned, but having never used pixel coordinates for textures up until now, so that is mainly what I was asking about. (edit at bottom of my post).

I have converted the texcoords returned by packtextures to pixelcoords and I have it working now.

Thanks again for your help and time!
