[solved]Transparent (invisible) widget?

[scheissmann]

Hi everyone! What I'm trying to accomplish is to make a widget that's simply a square with a collision box, and a group of these will sit on top of a grid and when you click the grid, the collision box around these widgets will register the click and do things.

I tried to do it with sprite, but I don't know how to make it invisible. If I create a transparent png image with photoshop and then create a font with it as texture, the texture won't show up under "Sprite to create" drop down list in the Create Widget window.

How should I go about making these invisible widgets?

Just make an empty GameObject with a collider attached. Set the localScale of the transform to what size you want the box to be in pixels, like you would a widget, and set the box collider to 1,1,0. Attach components to catch OnClick etc. events.
