GUI Pixel Width / Height

[Horror]

Hey everyone!

I've been looking around for a way to change a GUI Texture's pixel width over time. Are there any play maker actions that can handle this? I basically have a power-up bar and I want it to shrink as the power-up duration runs down.

Cheers!

Hi,

 you can use FsmObject and set property to access the pixelInset and set its width like so.

1: create a "object" variable in your fsm.
2:select UnityEngine/GuiTexture" for its type
3: drag the guitexture on it to reference it

4: in your state use the action "set property" targeting that "object" variable and set its property "PixelInset".

PixelInset is a rect, so maintain also a rect variable, and change the width of the rect and inject that using set property in step 4.

 hope this helps.

that action could be what you want too

Jean, you are a well of information 

I'm a bit confused on how to manage a rect variable, though. The Rect section of PixelInset only allows me to set an initial value, but not a variable. So how do I update the object? I was hoping I could just use an integer to define pixel width and apply that to the X field of the Rect.

I'll try messing around with that health action next if I can't get this to work, but I'd like to solve it without custom actions if possible.

Thanks!
