Advice needed for unwanted behaviour (moving elements)

[Ty Carey]

Hi y'all - I'm a noob here so excuse me if this is a common or easy problem to solve.

I'm having trouble with a parent camera that's used for our 2D UI menu - when the game plays it moves position on it's own up towards the top left. This behaviour's new - it never used to do this and my project assets are up to date with other developers who do not have the same issue.

This wouldn't be such a problem if the second issue didn't exist - in the scene view (no game playing), whenever I move ANY element the camera decides to start moving (and taking all the UI children with it) - almost like any moving element adds a translation to the camera. It always adds to it's X and Y values.

I'm at a complete loss - I think my next step is to remove and reinstall unity.

Any advice appreciated!

So have you made Animations attached to this root?  perhaps when you fire other animations you accidentally created a curve for your UI Root and soe it acts when you fire off that animation.

Do you have some anchor attached?

[Ty Carey]

No animation as far as I can see ... but why would it move consistently top left when the game isn't even running in the scene when I move any UI element?

Sounds like you did something funky, likely related to using a UIAnchor.

Which version of NGUI are you using?
