NGUI 3 Support / Ignore controller

« on: February 22, 2016, 04:36:19 PM »

Guys, i´m trying to ignore joystick from script. At run time, I tryed to set uicamera to ignore joystick inputs without success.
How i would do that:

UICamera.ignoreControllerInput = true;

or

UICamera.current.useController = false;

or

UICamera.disableController = true

or what?


thanks

ArenMook thanks for your time and effort.

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

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.

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;
    }

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.

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?

NGUI 3 Support / Re: hoveredObject + selectedObject + controllerNavigationObject (v3.9.4b)

« on: November 20, 2015, 03:51:17 PM »

Well Guys, i am now on that days....this line of code simply does note work:

UICamera.controllerNavigationObject = go;
UICamera.selectedObject = go;

The case here is, i have this pop-up dialog screen above all other screen.
Before this happen, navigationobject (as selectedobject) was a "play button".
So, pop up shows and would switch navigationobject (and selectedobject) to "ok button".
But is not working. I dont know if ngui is taking your decisions here and changing the reference I already set.

I am trying to wait a frame using coroutines. But it works 50% of the time.

 I´m in trouble here. Sure I am not understanding half this the scenarios. But, seriously, I think ngui must to solve better stuff like this.

NGUI 3 Support / hoveredObject + selectedObject + controllerNavigationObject (v3.9.4b)

« on: November 07, 2015, 04:55:18 PM »

Hi Guys!

I´m working on a project using joystick plus mouse/keyboard on screens navigations. I know NGUI is not designed to word simultaneously with this devices, but:
Our screens have a lot of transitions, screens overlaping each other, animations, and button states (over, pressed). And, need to work simultaneously with both devices (joystick + mouse/keyboard).

Do this thing have been very tricky.

My problem number 1:
Some times simply set programmatically the hoveredObject and controllerNavigationObject does not work, and ngui loses focus. So, i have been trying to wait a frame or wait tweens until it finishes, to set the focus of the navigation on screen. Sometimes i even set selectedobject to be sure it works.

My problem number 2:
Obviously, before all of this, sometimes ngui loses focus.
On update 3.9.0 i remember of this:
- NEW: NGUI now automatically finds and focuses on an appropriate UIKeyNavigation object if none has focus while receiving controller-based input.
I think this "automatically way of find and focuses" can be disturbing my "precise control of focus".

So, i ask:
There is a best practice for work on hoveredObject and controllerNavigationObject on NGUI?
I´m trying to precisely control focus between screens on my project. Is that right?
What i´m doing wrong when a set controllerNavigationObject  and hoveredObject?

Some times i try to save localy the reference of UICamera.controllerNavigationObject. So, when I come back to the last screen, I set it back and keep my navigation on. But, half the time the reference is not exactly what i was expecting. And navigation breaks. I know UICamera has your own update and inside a frame is a lot of things happening. Is that the right way to do this or i need to not trust on UICamera state? (or) Is a better approach make each screen save your proper focus independently?

Thank you in advenced.
