UIRoot and static GameOjbect children
« on: January 10, 2017, 01:51:53 PM »
I"ve been learning about GameObject.static. From what I read, since UIRoot scales the entire gui heirarchy (when using pixel perfect...), is it then true that I should never have a static Gui element underneath UI root, aka all Gui element game objects under UIRoot should be non-static?

I'm looking for an artist partner to complement my programming skill in developing a space-based Civilization-like empire building game, ala GalCiv2 or Distant Worlds based on Unity3D.

The way 'static' game object flag used to work, is if set it would make it so that changes to transform would be ignored. Currently in Unity 5 there are a lot of static flags though, not just one -- and I'm not sure if any of them behave like the old static flag used to.

Either way UI game objects should not be marked as static. There is a separate "static" flag on the UIPanel that you can choose -- consult its documentation for more info.
