Title: GUITexture Position
Post by: Andys on March 27, 2013, 05:15:05 AM

Is there a way to fix a GUI Texture position on the screen, because when i re-size the screen it moves left or right and outside of the Gui box which doesn't move.

The GUi texture sits on another and is being used for a health bar, so they need to stay aligned.

Or is there a better way of doing this?

Hi,

 Yes. use the inset position, make the transform position to 0,0 or 0,1 or else ( to stick to corners of the screen if screen size changes.

 then uset he pixel inset position, then you will get absolute positionning.

 BUT, I strongly recommand you get a proper 2d framework do this... it will save you a  lot of time and frustration down the road :)

Inset position can be set using this custom action:

Hi,

 nGui seems very popular, and it's ok to work with, 2d toolkit is very good, but more for 2d animations than interactive ui.

grab a free version of ngui and give a it go and see how it goes.
