Object layer changing

[Zoidster]

Hi,
the layer of one of my particleeffects is always being changed to NGUI.
Its parented to a Sprite and not part of any list or similar.

UIRoot
-UIPanel
--UISprite
---ParticleEffect

I've seen that the UIPanel might change the layer of its children.
What could cause that?

Hi there,

There are 8 duplicates of your question. I think it has to do with some weird database bug yesterday

UIPanel changes the layers of all its children. It's intentional, line 1235 of UIPanel.cs. You can comment out that line.

Thanks ArenMook.

@alexh0101 Yes I seem to have posted quite a lot of these. I deleted the rest of them.

Ok, I commented the line but the layer keeps resetting.

//edit
Funny thing is, the layer stays at NGUI even when I end the game. Do you have any explanation for that?

[ArenMook]

Well the only other reason for layers changing may be a widget below the particle effect, but your hierarchy doesn't show one.

[Zoidster]

That's because there isn't one.

This is more accurate:

UIRoot
-UIPanel
--UISprite
---ParticleEffect
----ParticleEffect
----ParticleEffect
----ParticleEffect

Ok, open up NGUITools.cs, line 1281 and comment out the part that makes this function recursive:

1.         static public void SetLayer (GameObject go, int layer)
2.         {
3.                 go.layer = layer;
4.  
5.                 //Transform t = go.transform;
6.                
7.                 //for (int i = 0, imax = t.childCount; i < imax; ++i)
8.                 //{
9.                 //      Transform child = t.GetChild(i);
10.                 //      SetLayer(child.gameObject, layer);
11.                 //}
12.         }

First thing tomorrow
Time-zones are annoying.

Looks like it worked. Thanks again.
