Title: [Solved] Trouble Instantiating UI Objects.
Post by: misterkeeter on May 22, 2014, 09:40:47 PM

This following code always creates the prefab at 0,0,0.
I'm not really sure why.

void Start ()
{
        GameObject New = Instantiate(instance, transform.localPosition , transform.localRotation)as GameObject;
   Vector3 pos = new Vector3 (-50f, -250f, 0f);
   New.gameObject.transform.position = pos;
}

Any Help is appreciated.

You should not be using Instantiate() with UI elements. UI elements need to be parented properly from the very start. Use NGUITools.AddChild(parent, prefab).

Thanks that worked.

Here's my modified code that performed as expected.

   void Start () {
      GameObject New = NGUITools.AddChild (myUIRoot, instance);
      Vector3 pos = new Vector3 (-50f, -250f, 0f);
      New.transform.localPosition = pos;
   }
