Title: [Solved] Handles not working
Post by: Zyxil on August 24, 2014, 07:29:22 PM
I can't seem to get the handles to work any more. 

Weird behavior:

Not sure what else might be relevant.  Ask and I'll answer.

Anybody else have this happening?

Are you on Unity 4.6? There is a new Rect Transform tool (R). NGUI uses its mode now on Unity 4.6+.

I'm on Unity 4.5.2.  This must be it.  Upgrading to NGUI 3.7.1 just now didn't fix it.

I generally don't do beta software.  But for NGUI, I'll do it.   ;)

I'll report when upgraded.

If you're on 4.5 then that isn't it. I am on 4.5.2 myself. The Rect Transform thing is only for 4.6+ users.

If your handles don't show up, check the options.

NGUI menu -> Options -> Handles

Oops.  Meant to put that in the original list.

I'll hold off on upgrading to 4.6beta since you're on 4.5.2.

Also, maybe relevant. The prefab toolbar constantly loses its labels. Though it seems to have corrected them since upgrading to 3.7.1.  I stopped using the snapshotter on my prefabs because of this.  I'll try them again now that they seem to be working again.

Bump.  Any idea on what is happening here?

What can I do to troubleshoot?

Do you have the UILabel component folded in inspector? That's about the only thing I can think of. No one seems to be experiencing anything similar.

I started unfolding everything in the inspector and things started working.

Why does this work this way?  It makes no sense.   :o

If it's an NGUI thing can we have this removed?  Folding the components keeps things neat and easy to read.

That's how Unity works. When you fold an element, all of its gizmos and handles disappear.

Try the same thing with a collider. If you fold the collider, the collider will be gone from the scene view.

Thanks for the clarification. This has been driving me nuts.

I don't think NGUI works gracefully with this as when I was testing, one uibutton node reopened caused the whole hierarchy to enable.  So one NGUI element folded low in the hierarchy can disable all parent handles. It would make sense if there's a dependency there, but is quite confusing.
