NGUI 3 Support / Re: The best way of displaying result of a MySQL query into label/button

« on: October 30, 2013, 10:24:29 PM »

Right okay, the main problem I have at the moment I suppose then is separating the records from the sql query. I'll stick it on unity answers since that isn't really specific to NGUI!

NGUI 3 Support / The best way of displaying result of a MySQL query into label/button

« on: October 30, 2013, 05:21:43 PM »

What I'm trying to accomplish here is for a list of aircraft to be downloaded from a database and then for each record to be presented for the user to click. The part I am struggling with is separating each record so it can be used on it's own. All I have currently is two scripts, one php script that queries the database and returns the string of aircraft + attributes:

1. <?php
2.     // Configuration
3.     $hostname = 'myhost';
4.     $username = 'myusername';
5.     $password = 'mypassword';
6.     $database = 'mydatabase';
7.  
8.     try {
9.         $dbh = new PDO('mysql:host='. $hostname .';dbname='. $database, $username, $password);
10.     } catch(PDOException $e) {
11.         echo '<h1>An error has occurred.</h1><pre>', $e->getMessage() ,'</pre>';
12.     }
13.  
14.     $sth = $dbh->query('    SELECT * FROM aircraft ORDER BY cost DESC LIMIT 5');
15.     $sth->setFetchMode(PDO::FETCH_ASSOC);
16.  
17.     $result = $sth->fetchAll();
18.  
19.     if(count($result) > 0) {
20.         foreach($result as $r) {
21.             echo $r['manufac'], " ", $r['model'], " ", $r['cost'], "\n";
22.         }
23.     }
24. ?>
25.  

And I also have a controller:

1. public class aircraftDownloader : MonoBehaviour
2. {
3.     private string secretKey = "#############";
4.     public string getAircraftURL = "http://cowcatcher.net/am/display.php";
5.         public UILabel aircraftlabel;
6.     void Start()
7.     {
8.         StartCoroutine(GetScores());
9.     }
10.  
11.     // remember to use StartCoroutine when calling this function!
12.     IEnumerator GetScores()
13.     {
14.         aircraftlabel.text = "Loading Aircraft Data";
15.         WWW hs_get = new WWW(getAircraftURL);
16.         yield return hs_get;
17.  
18.         if (hs_get.error != null)
19.         {
20.             print("There was an error getting the high score: " + hs_get.error);
21.         }
22.         else
23.         {
24.             aircraftlabel.text = hs_get.text;
25.         }
26.     }
27.  
28. }
29.  

At the moment, all this does is display each record on a new line on a single label. I need some way of seperating each downloaded record so I can use them in separate NGUI buttons/elements. After that I was considering displaying each in a table type format, what's the best way of doing this?

Thanks!

NGUI 3 Support / Re: Enabling Object after disable

« on: October 16, 2013, 01:49:33 PM »

I already have this. I want to be able to start the scene with all panels hidden and to do this I have been unchecking the box in the editor on the object for showing/hiding. When I use the NGUITools.SetActive(newairline, true); It won't show it?

NGUI 3 Support / Enabling Object after disable

« on: October 16, 2013, 10:26:56 AM »

Hello, I'm trying to manage enabling and disabling panels in my UI. So  I am able to disable using:
NGUITools.SetActive(GameObject.FindWithTag("newairlinepanel") as GameObject, false); and also
NGUITools.SetActive(newairlinepanel, false); using a predefined gameobject and dragging it on.

But I cannot enable in the same way. I understand that I need to keep a reference to the panel I am disabling, how do I go about this? Heres my hierarchy, the panels I'm interested in are the children of manager_panel

Cool, this looks like its working however I think because I am using the free version .value is not working? if so is there a way around it? I plan to update to the full version soon but for now it would be useful to have it working!

NGUI 3 Support / Linking Input to Button

« on: October 06, 2013, 08:34:49 AM »

Hello, I'm new to NGUI  and Unity in general. I really like what I see with NGUI and I'm trying to sort out profiles for a game I'm developing but I am having problems. Basically what I wan't is for my Inputs from two text boxes to be sent to my create new profile script when a button is pressed. Currently I have a script on each input that reads content of each input, I was then trying to reference them using get component from my create profile but I'm struggling to do so. I feel like I'm missing a trick here!
