Title: complete beginner question - transfer values from ugui to ngui
Post by: mrpeaks on July 24, 2014, 07:37:39 AM
Hey everyone! my sorry for asking you guys, but i'm completely lost with ngui :/ my goal is to create a hud for a spaceship game. I have an standard unity text-gui running and would like to know how i can "transfer" the "data" from unity gui to ngui text label.  ( For example Ammo and it's value.) here's a code snipped:

  1. void OnGUI(){
  2.                 GUI.skin = Holographic;
  3.                 if(!weaponManager || currentWeapon>weaponManager.WeaponLists.Length)
  4.                         return;
  5.                
  6.                 GUI.skin.label.fontSize = 15;
  7.                 if(!weaponManager.WeaponLists[currentWeapon].InfinityAmmo){
  8.                         GUI.Label(new Rect(10,70,300,50),"Ammo"+weaponManager.WeaponLists[currentWeapon].Ammo+" / "+weaponManager.WeaponLists[currentWeapon].AmmoMax);
  9.                 }else{
  10.                         GUI.Label(new Rect(20,70,300,50),"Infinity ammo");
  11.                 }
  12.                 GUI.skin.label.fontSize = 15;
  13.                 GUI.Label(new Rect(20,40,300,50),""+weaponManager.WeaponLists[currentWeapon].name);
  14.                
  15.        
  16.         }

any help is welcome  :'(

They are both working a totally different way, it's pretty hard to do it. I think you will be faster by doing it all again in NGUI trying to reproduce the same UI

Yeah forget what you learned about OnGUI, it will only harm you when using NGUI. In NGUI you need to create a layout for what your UI should look like -- in your case a pair of labels. One label will be for your ammo, another for your weapon name. Attach a script to each label that will update its label.text with the appropriate value in the Update() function.
