UILabel

[moursbourn]

color via the [color] [-] flag is being multiplied with the font color.   I seem to remember this used to replace the color. Is this a bug or intended?  It seems much more useful as a replacement, even if it does replace the gradient.

[ArenMook]

Intentional. Widget's color tint affects everything. Do something like this instead now:

1. label.text = "[000000]Black [ff0000]Red";

do this support custom font that create via Assets->create-> custom font?
UILabel can recognize it as a dynamic font, but throws a tons of errors

[ArenMook]

No, custom font feature is something new in Unity and I have not yet looked at it.

What are the tags for new font modify functions? maybe there are more?

[ArenMook]

BBcode style:

[b]bold[/b]
[i]italic[/i]
[u]underline[/u]
[s]strikethrough[/s]

...etc. Look inside NGUIText.ParseSymbol.

I want to add an emoticon to my dynamic font ? can I?

[ArenMook]

Not yet.

[dannygame2012]

[ArenMook]

Hey Aren, Is there anything set up to do Bulleted text?

Thinking I'll parse the lines for the beginning bullet char: '\u2022' and split those lines into a separate indented label, and place the whole listing of the text copy within a table. Is there currently an easier way to get that effect?

Titled

• Yea.
• These are fun

And copy

[ArenMook]

No, there is nothing in NGUI that would parse bullet text / paragraphs.

I hope this is the right place to ask this. I am trying to get a label to appear over a game object. However when I try to set the position it always appears at 0,0,0 (center of the screen). The only exception is if I change the label position in the script's update.

I am instantiating a label prefab with the text script attached.

Label should remain in your UI hierarchy. You can anchor widgets to 3D objects quite easily. Consult the UIRect documentation page for details.

From glancing at documentation and very briefly skimming the code, it seems there are no formatting controls that would allow me to do something like a table. E.g.

  Column1   Column2  Column3
  Value1     Value2    Value3

What do you recommend for me to be able to achieve this?  Offhand, some options I can think of:

A) use 3 overlapping UILabels, clipping to mutually exclusive spaces.
B) use a monospaced font and pad with spaces. Actually, will this work? I did a quick test and it seems that padding with spaces doesn't work.
C) modify code and add new formatting controls. E.g. [150] means jump to 150 pixel offset.  This is the solution I've implemented in a couple of other engines. This would allow me to do a table with one UILabel. Not sure how complex this addition is, though. Seems like it should be straightforward if I know the places to hook into that do positioning.  What are those hooks?

thanks
