Toggle Button

[kaz2057]

Dear support,
I need to create a lot of toggle buttons like checkbox using "hierarchy groups".

I have not found any solution for this problem.

On others thread there is a link to a script: http://www.tasharen.com/?topic=toggle-button but it is void ...
Then ... I have not find anything ...

There is any news about it? Any new solution? How can I fix this?
This is very important for my web application because it is a configurator.
Help me please!
Thank you

1. Create a new game object under your panel.

2. Create a sliced sprite for the button's background of how it should look like when it's not toggled.

3. Create another sprite covering the button's background -- how it should look like when it's toggled.

4. Add a UICheckbox script to the game object you created in step 1.

5. For the "checkmark" on the UICheckbox, specify sprite you created in step 3.

You now have a toggle button.

Thank you Aren. Quick reply @_@

I try immediatly this solution.
However just another question...
Before than the sprite cover the button's background, can I have also hover button,  ? thanks!!

For a hover effect you can add a UIButton script and set it to color the sprite from step 2.

Thanks you for the answer.

However I fix the problem with IUImage Button to have another image button as hover.

Now, however, I have another problem.

If I reclick on an actived button, it return on base state and so I have no button actived ...

Can you help me please?

"Option can be none" should be set to false.

Could you please give an example of toggling between 2 materials of the target game object without disabling it ?
This is what i have so far but i get compile errors:

An object reference is required to access non-static member `CheckBoxMaterialToggle.material1
An object reference is required to access non-static member `CheckBoxMaterialToggle.material2
any help is greatly appreciated.

1. using UnityEngine;
2. using System.Collections;

9.         public Material material1;
10.         public Material material2;
11.        
12.         static public void ChangeMaterial (GameObject target, bool state)
13.         {
14.                 if (state)
15.                         target.renderer.material = material1;
16.                  else
17.                         target.renderer.material = material2;
18.                
19.         }
20.  
21.         void OnEnable ()
22.         {
23.                 UICheckbox chk = GetComponent<UICheckbox>();
24.                 if (chk != null) OnActivate(chk.isChecked);
25.         }
26.  
27.         void OnActivate (bool isActive)
28.         {
29.                 if (target != null) {
30.                         ChangeMaterial(target, inverse ? !isActive : isActive);
31.        
32.                         UIPanel panel = NGUITools.FindInParents<UIPanel> (target);
33.                         if (panel != null)
34.                                 panel.Refresh ();
35.                 }
36.         }
37. }

Remove the "static" from ChangeMaterial function's definition.

Thanks Aren !
I am trying to implement a fading between the two but it does not like it.

i would greatly appreciate your help if you had the time to have a look.

This isn't an NGUI question at this point, but a Unity usability question. Seeing as I've never used renderer.material.Lerp, I can't advise you much here. Try Unity's forums instead.
