NGUI 3 Support / Re: Capturing events from a third party asset in a widget

« on: February 22, 2016, 08:33:12 PM »

I managed to get some "reasonable" results by doing creative Screen.w/h math and positioning it that way.  But I will definitely try the UIAnchor approach - a much better solution if I can get it to work with it.  Thanks!

Cheers.

Unless I am just not understanding what you are saying, I'm guessing you have set the transform of some object as the parent of another object (child object).  When you remove the object that is the parent, you have the children trying to access a transform that no longer exists.  You can either temporarily change it via SetParent() to something else, then change it back, or even better - just dynamically change the button info instead of removing it and re-adding it.  Or, you could add them all at once, and keep some hidden, and shuffle them around (make active/hide) depending on what the user is doing.

Cheers.

Wait, are you using a UIPopupList? If so, you shouldn't have to do anything to it.

Have you tried anchoring it in a widget in the panel you want it to pop up in?

Cheers.

Let me pose another scenario, as I am trying different things to get this to work.

I am trying to anchor this third party asset (in layer called "X") to an NGUI widget (in the "NGUI" layer).  I do this by adding a UIWidget component to the third party asset, then setting its transform to the NGUI widget's transform.  Sadly, this doesn't seem to work either.  No matter what I do, I get it in the center of the screen, rather than where I want it (lower right of the screen).  But at least it works.  Just doesn't seem to be anchoring properly or something.  Shouldn't this be possible, or no? Do all anchored assets need to be in the same layer as the NGUI stuff?

Thanks!

Actually, the more I think about it, I don't think what I am trying to do is possible.  I need to figure out some other approach I think.

I should add what is actually happening.  When I flip the debug option on the UIRoot camera, it shows the info for the third party widget when it shouldn't.  That widget's events should be picked up by the main game camera.  Also, nothing else on the UI works except stuff in the NGUI layer.   If I remove the UICamera script from my main camera, everything works except for the third party widget.

That's the thing, I have a UICamera script attached to my main camera as well.

I would say temporarily override the event mask for that UI Camera.

Check out UICamera.eventReceiverMask ... though not sure if it can be adjusted at runtime via script or not.

Cheers.

If your code/experiment isn't anything proprietary, feel free to bundle it up and post a link to it.  Happy to take a closer look and see what I can find, if anything.

Cheers.

Are you doing anything else funky involving NGUI after you add the shader?  Maybe something under the hood is switching it back?

Still learning NGUI myself, but happy to be a separate set of eyes for you, as it were.

Cheers.

Try assigning the shader via code after you set your texture, if you haven't tried that already.  Untested, and off the top of my head:

1.  
2. Renderer r = go.GetComponent<Renderer>();
3. r.sharedMaterial.shader = Resources.Load<Shader>("YourShaderDirUnderResources/ShaderNameWithNoExtension");
4.  
5.  

Cheers.

Do you have a code snippet or two we could look at?

Building on to this thread a bit.

Can I assume that if a layer is culled to a specific camera, that only that camera can process events for widgets on that layer?  What I am trying to do may be impossible - not sure.  I'm trying to get this third party asset (that has a widget component that I added to it for layout purposes) to be managed by NGUI for the purposes of layout/anchoring, but have its events processed by a separate camera.  Any thoughts out there?
