NGUI 3 Support / UIScrollView and UIScrollBar woes

« on: July 08, 2014, 11:27:24 PM »

I am dynamically resizing items in UIGrid and having problems with these two components. UIScrollbar is not repositioning to accomodate for newly added/deleted elements, the only way I can get it to work is if I change standalone resolution and then change it back original.

edit: I am calling scrlView.UpdateScrollbars(true); after I've repopulated the UIGrid
edit: the problem is the timing issue, items are added after the scroll view is updated. I don't know what is a clean way to resolve this issue... because I have a function that populates UIGrid by creating new items from prefabs and instantly after that calls scrrollView.UpdatePosition but I am guessing the panel doesn't acknowledge new bounds until next frame or something. It's somewhat frustrating that there is no built-in functionality to notify the scrollview that it needs to update (is there?), perhaps something like boundsChanged flag/event would be useful here. Or scrollView directly could keep track whether bounds of its contents were changed every frame.

NGUI 3 Support / Re: Resize background to match UIGrid

Well I was trying to do a fancy pop-up window thingy which would scale based on amount of text in it and also contain a long list of options (inside the UIGrid), here's an early screenshot:

(textboxes can be of variable height)

I was using a widget as a way to calculate center of my object, so that I can correctly position it next to the node selected.

I think I will just write my own script to calculate the size, as number of objects inside that affect it doesn't really change.

Thanks

sorry about that.

But it looks like it's enveloping everything, including stuff clipped by panels? I have a scrollview in one of the items I am trying to envelop content on, is there anyway to only envelop visible items?

Thanks

I think there's possibly a bug in SetRect code UIWidget.cs line 623

1. width = finalWidth;
2. height = finalHeight;
3.  

should probably be

1. this.width = finalWidth;
2. this.height = finalHeight;
3.  

since width/height is also a function parameter. It wasn't really working for me until I made that change anyway.

Thanks

NGUI 3 Support / Resize background to match UIGrid

Hi,

Sorry if this was asked many times before, I couldn't find it.

I have a UIGrid which I populate with items at a run-time. UIGrid itself is located inside a frame (UISprite) which needs to be resized to match updated grid's size (as opposed to clipping contents). How can that be done?

Thanks

NGUI 3 Support / Re: Perfectly Aligning UISprites..

sorry small correction, I did not change the scale itself, but I adjusted dimensions of the sprite (sprite.width/sprite.height)

I've noticed this artifact seems to happen only when shrinking not so much with stretching. So I modified my source art to be 1 pixel wide and just stretched it to desired length. It seems to align perfectly now, even in editor I can zoom in and not see any gaps.

Thanks.

NGUI 3 Support / Perfectly Aligning UISprites..

« on: April 12, 2014, 04:31:58 AM »

I am trying to draw a equipment tree for my game, and am running into small artifacts when trying to connect separate UISprites to form one solid object. Here's what it looks like:



Now the sprites themselves (parts of the white arrow) were made to perfectly connect together in Photoshop (without anti-aliasing ofc). I've also changed the atlas texture filter mode to Point as opposed to Trilinear. The sprites are not scaled in Unity, it's 1:1 from source art. If you notice it also works everywhere else, only this stripe is visible for some reason..

Is there anything you can recommend to fix this? And yeah I can't use the whole arrow sprite as I am generating the tree at a runtime.

Thanks.

NGUI 3 Support / Re: UITexture blocks my UI

no I am using default NGUI ulit transparent I think? In fact I can just copy the backdrop from Example Quest scene and paste that into my scene and I am having the same problem.

I am trying to use UITexture for backdrop but it covers some of my UI elements. I tried setting the depth to very small number and also tried moving it back but it does not help.

NGUI 3 Support / Re: UITable within UITable

« on: January 20, 2014, 07:16:56 PM »

I tried something similar but with UIGrid. I also had to add offset and it first it seemed like working, then I added more elements and it broke. Honestly I think its better to not nest these elements and find easier solution, too many problems in the long run!

I am having the same issue, I just updated to 3.0.9.f2 and it's still happening.

« on: January 20, 2014, 04:06:38 AM »

thank you that pointed me into the right direction. I removed nested UIGrids for sake of simplicity, now I just have a simple UITable with UISprite elements. I've noticed that I had to change UITable execution order AFTER UIScrollbar, otherwise first reposition call would not place the elements in the correct location.

I've been using NGUI for some time now. While its great for designing a simple UI, I feel like there is a lot of room for improvement in things like draggable panels and UITable/UIGrid. It's either overly complicated or there are bugs in there. Here are few examples:

• clicking on a scrollbar when all the contents of UIPanel fit on the same page results in NaN exception.
• Cannot use draggable panels within draggable panels (cliping issues?)
• Having to manually call reposition is meh. Sometimes I am not sure if I called it too early or something because items aren't positioned properly
• Using nested UITable/UIGrid seems to cause further problems (I am not sure if that;s supported)
• New anchoring system is awesome, but it sometimes also causes NaN exceptions with anchored scrollbars.

These are just few things that come to my mind at the moment. Otherwise its a great gui system.

NGUI 3 Support / UIGrid within UITable reposition issues

« on: January 17, 2014, 05:29:33 AM »

I have a UITable that consists of categories which each use a UIGrid to display items (all vertical aligned). I am seeing random offsets when populating the table and calling repositionNow = true later. Am I missing something here or is this not supported?

Thanks.
