Linking other scripts to NGUI Elements

[wpcain82]

I have been able to link some script methds to the NGUI elememts suck as : UILabel pulling an int from another script etc. I am trying to figure out how to use certain logic on the UI elements"

For example I have a timer script that counts down in my GameManger script and I want a NGUI window to pop up once it reaches 0. I am assuming I can call some function on a UIElement that will activate the Element right? Also say for a bool once true a certain GUI button is enabled. Any ideas on how this is done?

Sorry for the noob question.

You can access any component by using GetComponent<MYTYPE>() on their gameobject, which you can set up as a reference in the inspector if you make their field public or [SerializeField].

1. class MyScript : Monobehaviour{
2.  
3. [SerializeField] UILabel _label; //set in inspector
4. public void UpdateLabel(string text) {
5. _label.text = text;
6. }
7. }
8.
