Playmaker simple menu system
« on: July 14, 2013, 11:32:23 AM »
is there a tutorial out there for a simple menu system using playmaker?
I have looked through youtube and the web and cant seem to find one.

im looking to construct a simple menu

first page:

Level selection
Controls
Score Board
Options

Each page will have mutable pages inside and link back to the first page.

I have had the guiButtons connected to the main camera but cant figure out how to display them as a menu at the moment they all show and I cant put conditions
around if this buttons pressed ect

Thanks Ryan

Hi,

 Do you want to use Unity GUI? or are you open to alternatives? EZgui, nGui and 2d toolkit, have great power for building such menus and it will give you a lot more satisfactions then if you use Unity GUI. It is possible, but quite limited in its abilities within PlayMaker unfortunatly.

Tho, when you add a GUILayoutButtom action, you can listen to the user press aciton and fire and event. you know that right? cause from your description it seems you haven't found this.


bye,

 Jean

iv had a look at the nGui and 2d toolkit on the asset store but was unsure how they would work on the iphone and with play maker would you recommend one over the other? or should i get both
