Best method for Thumbnail mouse overs?
« on: March 02, 2016, 09:41:21 AM »
I want to create a gallery of UI images (small thumbnails), that when mouseover'd show the full scale image to the left of the gallery.  Any idea of what actions and methods might be most efficient in executing this?

I have some ideas but they seem rather convoluted and cumbersome involving a lot of states.

Hi,
You can use the component : PlayMakerUGuiPointerEventsProxy

you need to get the Ugui package on the ecosystem for this

Thanks for the suggestion, I do have the ugui package, and have located the component you mentioned, is there any documentation you would recommend in figuring out how to implement? I'm guessing I just drag the proxy file into my canvas in hierarchy? Sorry, im a little new to playmaker and haven't gone beyond using FSMs.

Hi,
On your thumbnail images you should click on Add Component and find / add it there.

then you get a list of options, set the ones you don't need to none and set On Enter Event to the Event you want it to trigger.

Hi.
I just tested it and it should work.

Double check your Event Target and event name

Also check if nothing overlays it.
To test this you can try placing you image all the to the last in you canvas tree
