Title: NGUITools.SetActive not updating after made true
Post by: tinyutopia on June 16, 2012, 05:31:16 PM

I have an array of GameObjects that I disable in start with

1.         void setAllItemsInvisable() {
2.                 for ( var i = 0; i < 6; i ++ ) {
3.                         for ( var j = 0; j < 7; j ++ ) {
4.                                 NGUITools.SetActive(buttonViewableArray[i, j], false);
5.                         }
6.                 }
7.         }

which works well enough. Then I make the GameObject active with

   

1. public void MakeButttonVisible(int category, int item) {
2.                 NGUITools.SetActive(buttonViewableArray[category, item], true);
3.         }

I can see that the GameObject is active, but it does not update in the game view until I click on it and move it around. Is there somewhere else that I should be putting the SetActive method so that it will happen when it's called and not require the playing around to get it to appear?

If it's your UIpanel that's not updating, you can try to call Refresh() on it. It's hard to say, because you're not giving us much to go on.

Is it in a draggable panel? Is it in table? Grid? How does the hierarchy look?

Another question to add -- is the panel marked as static (not the game object, the option on the UIPanel).

Thanks for the responses guys.

ArenMook had the solution, I had static checked in my UIPanel. Unchecking it allowed the panel to update.

So the hierarchy is UI Root (2D) > UIPanel > UIDraggablePanel > UIGrid > UIDragPanelContents

Thanks again.
