[SOLVED]Error with 3.0.3g - UIInput and validator

[BehindTheStone]

So I just upgraded from 3.0.2 to 3.0.3g and got this error:

Assets/NGUI/Scripts/Interaction/UIInputValidator.cs(31,49): error CS1061: Type `UIInput' does not contain a definition for `validator' and no extension method `validator' of type `UIInput' could be found (are you missing a using directive or an assembly reference?)

[ArenMook]

UIInput.onValidate

[BehindTheStone]

I don't understand that. Where do I have to use this?

1.         void Start () { GetComponent<UIInput>().validator =  UIInput.OnValidate; }
2.  

Gives me this result:

Assets/NGUI/Scripts/Interaction/UIInputValidator.cs(30,70): error CS0119: Expression denotes a `type', where a `variable', `value' or `method group' was expected

and still

1. Assets/NGUI/Scripts/Interaction/UIInputValidator.cs(30,49): error CS1061: Type `UIInput' does not contain a definition for `validator' and no extension method `validator' of type `UIInput' could be found (are you missing a using directive or an assembly reference?)
2.  

[ArenMook]

Use the same code you were using before, just replace "validator" with "onValidate".

[BehindTheStone]

You mean like this?

1.         void Start () { GetComponent<UIInput>().onValidate = Validate; }
2.  

Doing that gives me these two errors:

Assets/NGUI/Scripts/Interaction/UIInputValidator.cs(31,49): error CS0123: A method or delegate `UIInputValidator.Validate(string, char)' parameters do not match delegate `UIInput.OnValidate(string, int, char)' parameters

Assets/NGUI/Scripts/Interaction/UIInputValidator.cs(31,49): error CS0428: Cannot convert method group `Validate' to non-delegate type `UIInput.OnValidate'. Consider using parentheses to invoke the method

[ArenMook]

Yes. You need to change the signature of your validation function to have an extra parameter:

1. string text, int charIndex, char addedChar

[BehindTheStone]

Yep, that did the job. But I didn't mess around with this script or any of the NGUI-Scripts. Just imported the 3.0.3 Version, so is this a bug which will be fixed in the next 3.0.X release?

[ArenMook]

No, it's not a bug. The functionality simply changed. How it is now is how it will stay.

[BehindTheStone]

Yeah, I get that, but do I have to edit this script everytime I import future releases?

[ArenMook]

I just re-read the original post and noticed that you mentioned UIInputValidator... UIInputValidator was removed in 3.0.3. Check the version notes.

You need to follow upgrading instructions from the readme that involve deleting the NGUI folder, or you will always have issues like these when scripts get removed.

[BehindTheStone]

Ah alright! Sorry! But when I delete the whole NGUI-Folder won't that mess up my GUI-Elements, the Atlas and so on since the scripts are all deleted?

[ArenMook]

No. Please follow the instructions.

Alright, thank you for the support!
