Title: NGUI and Server List
Post by: bratchan on March 04, 2014, 11:09:53 AM
I have been banging my head against a wall for a while. I hope someone might be able to help out with my issue. I’m still new to NGUI and I also have been working in javascript.

I am creating a Muliplayer game and need to get menus to work with NGUI. I have it all working find with the GUI system in unity, I just wanted it to easier to style and such.

I have hosting menu to work fine, you can connect to the server and its all good, its for the joining players where I have the issue at. I have NGUI populating a grid with a label and a button so you can click to join that server.

I can’t figure out how to get the host information for that certain server so you can connect to it.

This is the code i have for populating the list.
  1. for (var element in data)
  2.                 {
  3.                
  4.                         Debug.Log("loadElement");
  5.                         var name = element.gameName + " " + element.connectedPlayers + " / " + element.playerLimit;
  6.  
  7.                        
  8.                         Debug.Log(element);
  9.                
  10.                        
  11.                         NGUITools.AddChild(serverTable, serverItem);
  12.                         serverItem.GetComponent(UILabel).text = name;
  13.                         serverItem.name = rr.ToString();
  14.                         //Debug.Log(serverItem.name);
  15.                         Debug.Log(serverItem.GetComponent(UILabel).text);
  16.                        
  17.                         NGUITools.AddChild(serverTable, serverButton);
  18.                        
  19.                          //(serverButton as serverButtonRunner).myInfo = element;
  20.                          
  21.                          serverButton.GetComponent(serverButtonRunner).myInfo = "hbhhhh";
  22.                        
  23.                        
  24.                         //yield WaitForSeconds (.5);
  25.                         serverTable.GetComponent(UIGrid).Reposition();
  26.                  
  27.                                 Debug.Log("Connecting...");    
  28.                                
  29.                                 serverButton.SendMessage("receiveMessage", element, SendMessageOptions.DontRequireReceiver);   
  30.                        
  31.                         //create BTN here and the onclick
  32.                         //NGUITools.addChild();
  33.                         rr ++;
  34.                        
  35.                         //Network.Connect(element);


This is all the fail code i have on my button that hasn’t worked.
  1. var targetScript;
  2.  
  3. private var server:String;
  4.  
  5. public var myInfo;
  6.  
  7. function Awake () {
  8. //finds the script that runs the menu
  9.         var gameScript = GameObject.Find("menuRunner");
  10.        
  11.         targetScript = gameScript.GetComponent(menuRunner).serverInformation;
  12.         //Debug.Log(gameScript.GetComponent(menuRunner).serverInformation);
  13.         //targetScript = targetScript.ToString();
  14.  
  15. }//end of awake
  16.  
  17. //doesn't work
  18. function receiveMessage(passInfo){
  19.  
  20.         //testInfo = passInfo;
  21.        
  22.         //Network.Connect(testInfo);
  23.         //no output
  24.         Debug.Log("workihghfdfhjkhfhfghjkhfdfghjng");
  25.  
  26. }//end of test
  27.  
  28. function OnClick(){
  29. Debug.Log(targetScript);
  30.         Debug.Log("clck");
  31.         //this doesn't work
  32.         //Network.Connect(targetScript);
  33.         //Debug.Log("Connecting...");  
  34.  
  35. }//end of onclick

Anything or suggestions would be grateful.

Quote
NGUITools.AddChild(serverTable, serverItem);
serverItem.GetComponent(UILabel).text = name;
Should be:
Quote
GameObject go = NGUITools.AddChild(serverTable, serverItem);
go.GetComponent(UILabel).text = name;

Ok, that isn't the issue i have the labels displaying but thanks for the better way of doing that.

I need help figure out when button is clicked grab that host data and connect with it. I'm having issues passing that data along with the buttons.

You can retrieve the caller using UIButton.current. It points to the button that triggered the function. From there you can GetComponent<> with your data if you like.
