Title: Change font from script?
Post by: jmansa on April 15, 2014, 02:47:25 AM

I am trying to build an GameObject from script with NGUI components attached but am having some issues with font?

How do I tell what font to use?

Here is how i am trying to do:

1. for(int i = 0;i < 3;i++){
2.                         GameObject test = new GameObject("TEST"+i);
3.                         test.AddComponent<UIDragScrollView>();
4.                         UILabel countryName = test.AddComponent<UILabel>();
5.                         countryName.font = MyriadProBold;
6.                         countryName.text = "Just testing";
7.                         test.AddComponent<BoxCollider>();
8.                         test.AddComponent<UISprite>();
9.  
10.                         test.AddComponent<LanguageChooser>();
11.                 }

Any help is appreciated.

1. You are creating a random object in the middle of nowhere.
2. You are not setting its layer.
3. You are not parenting it to anything, and then you add a label to it. Since it's not parented, it forces NGUI to re-parent it to the first valid panel. All NGUI objects must be underneath a panel.

So to fix it:

Use NGUITools.AddChild or NGUITools.AddWidget, specifying a parent object right away. All 3 problems disappear.
