Problem when creating GUI elements at runtime

[xbelt]

Hello,

I am currently trying to spawn some buttons at runtime. For testing purposes the Button transform is just the default NGUI button prefab.

I am using the following code:

1. var go = NGUITools.AddChild(Parent.gameObject, Button);

Also the parent is just another NGUI element.

Now when executing this code it just creates an empty gameObject. I verified that the Button Prefab is in fact not empty.
Thanks for your help and time

Look at the code for that function:

1.         static public GameObject AddChild (GameObject parent, GameObject prefab)
2.         {
3.                 GameObject go = GameObject.Instantiate(prefab) as GameObject;
4. #if UNITY_EDITOR
5.                 UnityEditor.Undo.RegisterCreatedObjectUndo(go, "Create Object");
6. #endif
7.                 if (go != null && parent != null)
8.                 {
9.                         Transform t = go.transform;
10.                         t.parent = parent.transform;
11.                         t.localPosition = Vector3.zero;
12.                         t.localRotation = Quaternion.identity;
13.                         t.localScale = Vector3.one;
14.                         go.layer = parent.layer;
15.                 }
16.                 return go;
17.         }

Try putting Debug.Log in there to see what it's actually doing. You can find it in NGUITools.cs, line 467.

Are you sure that the "Button" actually references the prefab correctly?
