User Interface for customization.
« on: April 30, 2014, 07:05:09 AM »
Hello, I'm looking to create a simple customization menu for character or vehicle where you can change the armor/wheels, set materials and etc.

What would be the best best approach in your opinion to create such UI?
Would it be reasonable to have a separate UI for each character and show only the UI the corresponding UI or is there something more elegant using NGUI and Playmaker. Note that the menu's buttons will be the same for each character.

Here's an example:

Vehicle 1:
- Menu for setting material for paint
- Menus for changing wheels

Vehicle 2:
- Menu for setting material for paint
- Menus for changing wheels

Vehicle 3...
same menus...

Now, when I select Vehicle 2 for example, I hide all other UIs except the one for Vehicle 2. When I select Vehicle 1, I hide all other UIs except the one for Vehicle 1 and so on...

I guess that would work, but I wonder is there a simple way to have only one UI set of buttons which to affect the visible vehicle only?
