Unable to animate widget colour now
« on: December 10, 2013, 01:01:43 AM »
Hey there

I have just finished updating my GUI to use the fantastic new layout system which was introduced a couple of days ago and am absolutely loving it! I tend to find myself using the "Unified" and "Advanced" mode most and they are great :D

I have noticed that the widget colour no longer animates though. The colour adjusts properly in the inspector, but the visual representation does not update unless I toggle the panel off/on.

Any ideas?

Cheers!

'f1' release only has Unified and Advanced, and others have been removed for simplicity.

How do you animate your color? Normally to animate widget color at run-time from an animation, use UIAnimatedColor intermediary script.

I animated the colour using using the animation window by creating two keyframes. This has been working great, but seems to have broken recently.

Unless you used the UIAnimatedColor intermediary script, the fact that it was working for you must have been a fluke as modifying private variables like "MColor" that show up in the animation window isn't the way to go as NGUI doesn't check those for changes.

Ah, must have been a fluke!

I wasn't aware of the intermediary script, made the adjustment and works again!

Thanks :)
