Handling Key input based on current open window?
« on: February 12, 2014, 12:15:25 PM »
How do you manage a complex UI where hitting 1 could mean execute skill 1 if you're in combat or it could also mean select party 1 if you're in a party menu?  I have a really complex UI game and I also need to get the focused window so that ESC closes out the most recently opened window, so I assume I'll have to add a hasFocus bool to my CloseWindow script that is checking for ESC and manage a List<> of all the windows that are open....

If there's an easier way I'd love to know.

You wouldn't use NGUI for this. Just stick to default Unity functionality.
  1. void Update()
  2. {
  3.     if (Input.GetKeyDown(KeyCode.Alpha1))
  4.     {
  5.         // some logic to determine if it should be one or the other
  6.     }
  7. }
