Title: Avoid Click same time
Post by: neufoctobre on January 05, 2016, 09:14:53 AM
Hello,

1. May be my question will be stupid but I wonder how to avoid fast click or click at same time. My problem is, I have a button 1 animation telling a buttton 2 to move out of screen, during this short animation I'm able to click on the animated button 2 and that is a problem, I have this problem for all my buttons. The only solution I found is to active a collider above all other for the entire screend during the animation but I still can click the button if I click enough fast..

2. In a same way, can I say to UIPlayAnimation to don't do anything if an object is enable. For example like above, I have a button 1 animation who enable a disabled button 2 which is out of screen and when the animation is done the button is on screen, If I clicked again on button 1 the animation begin again, I want to avoid that.

Thanks in advance !

Friend, you could do this by many ways. I can tell you the way i did.

Any button pressed verify if some tweener is playing.

void ButtonPressed()
{
   if (any)
      return;
   else
      Do();
}


I can´t tell you the best way to know if any tweener is playing, my solution is not elegant, so i will not show you for now.
I sought for some static method or property in NGUI, but I do not found.
Perhaps somebody can show us how to do this. Anybody?  ::)

A tweener is playing when it's enabled. It automatically disables itself when it finishes.

Yes, thanks ArenMook.

But, would be cool if we could know if any tweener is playing.

I can do a findcomponent in scene and ask if any tweener is enabled. but it cost a lot.

In my solution here I create a list of all tweener playing. When each one stop, they leave the list.

If the list is greater then zero, a tweener still playing, and I do not accept inputs from any button.

My solution is bizarre, i know. Cuz, first, was needed to change NGUI to do that. Second, mantaining this list here cost more memory and more time of the frame.

Would be better if UITweener class had a static list, where each one tweener started add it self in. And, internally, remove it self from when finished.
This list, or a property knowing this list, would be accessed statically from every where. So, you can know now if any tweener is playing.

If you need something like that then add a custom script that will do just that -- add itself to a static list. Attach it alongside the tweens you are interested in.

Remember, NGUI also adds tweens for things like button color animations for example. You don't want everything.

Thanks for the reply. it can be easily made.

On my project, to bypass the tweens I don´t care I made UIPlaytween class generate the list of tweens of same group. Also, on each tween, UIPlaytween register a method on OnFinished to remove it from that list.
The list is static, so i can look into it and make my decisions about other tweens.

Could be possible NGUI maintain a static list of teens playing and a property read only?

Something like this:

    static List<UITweener> UITweeners;

    public static void AddUITweener(UITweener tweener)
    {
        if (UITweeners == null )
            UITweeners = new List<UITweener>();

        UITweeners.Add(tweener);
    }

    public static void RemoveUITweener(UITweener tweener)
    {
        if (UITweeners == null)
            return;

        UITweeners.Remove(tweener);
    }

    public static bool IsAnimating()
    {
        if (UITweeners != null && UITweeners.Count > 0)
            return true;

        return false;
    }

It really isn't something that belongs in the UI system... It's game specific code. You can even add to a custom static list as you play a tween and remove it in its OnFinished function - it would be 1 line of code each.

ArenMook, thanks for the reply.

i understand the concern about not put game things on ui system, but, on my project i don't play tweens, i only play UIPlay Tween, because theres is a lot of tweeners being playing behind it, not only two or three. My game screens are complex and multiple objects are animated at same time. So i dont tryed to control each tweener, even for put each one in a custom list.

So, I  needed to change uiplaytween, so uiplaytween controls the custom list. Because all the tweeners will be children of it.  :o

So what's preventing you from attaching this script beside the tweens you are interested in?
  1. using UnityEngine;
  2. using System.Collections.Generic;
  3.  
  4. [RequireComponent(typeof(UITweener))]
  5. public class CustomTracker : MonoBehaviour
  6. {
  7.     static public List<UITweener> list = new List<UITweener>();
  8.     UITweener mTween;
  9.     void OnEnable () { mTween = GetComponent<UITweener>(); list.Add(mTween); }
  10.     void OnDisable() { list.Remove(mTween); }
  11. }
  12.

ArenMook thanks for your time and effort.

Yes, would be very good. I understood the first time you brought it up. Thank you!
