2D and NGUI positioning [SOLVED]
« on: January 31, 2014, 03:33:37 PM »
I'm having some issues with 2D and NGUI

So what i'm trying to do is have an NGUI label appear at a point of collision, i have no issues making it appear but its making it appear in the correct place that i'm having trouble with.

I've tried many differeny ways but from what i can work out i think both the 2D and NGUI look at the screen res differently and i can't figure out a way to make them work together.

Has anyone dealt with this before or does anyone have any suggestions?

Hi,

 HUD plugin is likely the right addition you need to have with NGUI to do that.

Hi,

So i bought HUDText but can't seem to find a way to push info to it, i tried Set Property but no luck.

Any suggestions?

Hi,

 Try this action.

If that works, I'll add it on the wiki.

bye,

Hi Jean

I got this error

Assets/PlayMaker/Actions/NguiHudTextAddEntry.cs(67,37): error CS0103: The name `PlayMakerUtils' does not exist in the current context

Also when i restarted unity it bugged out playmaker and NGUI and gave me the "Failed to Load Layout" message

Hi,

 D'oh, forget to mention that requires arrayMaker, or at least PlayMaker Utils.

It works :)

I'm just using the Playmaker Utils and it works perfect.

Thanks Jean :)
