How to adapt Scoreboard from OnGUI to NGUI?

[Der_Kevin]

Hey. Iam just trying to adapt my old Unity GUI to NGUI and have somehow no clue how to display the cash amount of my game. with Unity GUI i do it like this:

1. GUI.Label(new Rect(startPosTop.x + 80.0f, startPosTop.y - 25.0f, 100.0f, 30.0f), "CASH: " + m_spawnController.m_playerCash);
2.                

can somebody tell me how i do this in NGUI?

Cheers,
Kev

ok. i tried to figure it out on my own. it looks like this now:

1. using UnityEngine;
2. using System.Collections;
3.  
4. public class CashView : MonoBehaviour {
5.        
6.         public UILabel resourceLabel;
7.         //private int displayedResources;
8.  
9.         private SpawnController m_spawnController                       = null;
10.        
11.         void Awake()
12.         {
13.                 m_spawnController = GameObject.FindWithTag("SpawnController").GetComponent<SpawnController>();
14.         }
15.        
16.         public void UpdateResource(bool instant = false) {
17.                 resourceLabel.text = "CASH: " + m_spawnController.m_playerCashh();
18.                 }
19.  
20. }
21.  
22.  

but i get the error:
CashView.cs(17,64): error CS1955: The member `SpawnController.m_playerCash' cannot be used as method or delegate

btw here is the full old script:

1. using UnityEngine;
2. using System.Collections;
3.  
4. public class CashViewOld : MonoBehaviour
5. {
6.                
7.         private SpawnController m_spawnController                       = null;
8.        
9.         void Awake()
10.         {
11.                 m_spawnController = GameObject.FindWithTag("SpawnController").GetComponent<SpawnController>();
12.                
13.         }
14.  
15.  
16.         void OnGUI()
17.         {
18.                 Vector2 buttonSize = new Vector2(120, 40);
19.                 Rect startPosTop = new Rect(90, 30, buttonSize.x, buttonSize.y);
20.  
21.                 GUI.Label(new Rect(startPosTop.x + 80.0f, startPosTop.y - 25.0f, 100.0f, 30.0f), "CASH: " + m_spawnController.m_playerCash);
22.         }
23. }
24.

Based on your old code; m_playerCash is a property/public variable, not a method. So just remove the brackets.

1. resourceLabel.text = "CASH: " + m_spawnController.m_playerCashh();

becomes

1. resourceLabel.text = "CASH: " + m_spawnController.m_playerCash;
