#

these?

azure flame
#

yes

quiet monolith
#

yea

#

i currently have an image and button ui elements

azure flame
#

Create a new scene, put default canvas and a panel under it, see if it works (raycast blocking). If it does start removing elements from your scene to find out what broke it.

quiet monolith
#

i shoulved noted, in the scene i have two cavases (an enabled title menu and a disabled start menu). the buttons of the title menu canvas work fine, but clicking the continue button from the title menu to enable the start menu canvas, the buttons of the start menu canvas dont work

#

so, when i was trying to use the event system earlier to see which ui elements were blocking raycasts, i noticed even with the start menu enabled, the ui elements of the title menu canvas were blocking raycasts (not the ui elements of the start menu canvas)

#

the title menu and start menu are pretty much identical in components, but the start menu plays an animation once enabled (fades in StartMenuBackGroundImage parent)

azure flame
#

So you are just not deactivating the first menu and it is on the way?

quiet monolith
#

i have since fixed that part, by disabling graphic raycaster of title menu when start menu is enabled

#

so i dont think the title menu is in the way

azure flame
#

Use CanvasGroup to fade out and deactivate raycast blocking on entire hierarchy without switching on/off its elements, which is costly.

quiet monolith
#

ill do that

#

alright, i still have the same issue as before

#

the buttons and images of the start menu canvas dont block raycasts xp

azure flame
#

Separate them from hierarchy and test what's happening. Don't forget to turn them on.

quiet monolith
#

ill try that

#

i should note, when clicking on the start menu buttons in the hierarchy window, the outline of the button isnt highlighted in scene view

#

though, it does for the title menu buttons

#

ok ive separated the start menu canvas and its children into a new scene, enabled it, and the issue still persists.

#

i cant seem to isolate the problem

#

comparing between the inspector info of title menu canvas and buttons to start menu canvas and buttons, they are identical (besides for the fade in animation of the start menu and button functions)

azure flame
#

So start recreating it, making sure it works, and note when it stops working.

#

Basic debugging procedure. Narrow down the problem.

quiet monolith
#

alright, last resort i gues

neon crest
#

So is that an static image, or are you rendering to a texture there?

fleet terrace
#

@neon crest rendering a texture to it

#

Figured it out actually

neon crest
#

Cool! Not using HDRP I assume 🙂

#

I had to solve this same thing in HDRP recently and I still think the problem/solution are ridiculous

fleet terrace
#

Welp actually there was 2 pictures of that cheese dude on google images with the special white background and one worked but the other one didn’t

#

See that works u can’t see the background

#

But that one doesn’t work so honestly I’m not sure if I’m gonna run into another problem LMAO but this is just a test to make sure it’ll work once I use it in the image I want

fleet terrace
neon crest
#

@fleet terrace Yeah, I went with making a "green screen" - camera renders lime green background, then used a shader on my render texture material that replaces that with Alpha. It works, but it's really, really stupid that I have to do that IMO.

#

I found where it had been reported to Unity as a bug, and they declared it was "Behaving correctly" because they intend to use the alpha channel bits for "something else" in HDRP in the future. Which... seems ridiculous.

Hello fellas ! Has anyone heard of a VR game/application build with 3D elements, but with a 360 video as a background ?
By that I mean with a perfect 360 video skybox integration, where the user won't feel like being "floating", surrounded by a giant screen.
I know you can achieve 360 skybox video quite easily, but despite my efforts, it felt ... "not good" every time.
I am looking for some examples of a seamless integration.
Any help would be very appreciated.

So far, the "only" example I've come across is Supernatural, in which the backgrounds seem to be 360 video. The thing is, there is nothing else but the shapes coming' at the player and the platform the player stands on.
I am looking for something more elaborate, such as a 3D house, with 3D elements you could interact with, but where the background would be a 360 video. Like, you look at the windows, and you see a 360 video of the surroundings, without having the feeling that the house is just floating in the void. These explanations might not be crystal clear tho. (this is more of a UX question than a code one, but if not, pardon me for posting in the wrong section)

#

Anybody know if there's a method to render a Trail Renderer inside the canvas (outside of using a Rendex Texture)? Or an extension that allows this?

cyan sluice
#

Quick question, I’m a graphic designer and I generally use illustrator for a lot of my designing. When creating a UI, should I use the built in UI editor or should I create assets in Illustrator and bring them over to Unity? What’s the general process?

peak quarry
#

There's almost 0 images to use in Unity for creating the UI, so you need to create those "assets" yourself, import them, and use them. Unity's UI system(s) are mainly for layout (think scaling UI and the order of text/buttons/etc) and functionality (think buttons).

#

Unity supports Photoshop (project) files [.psd], so you don't have to export the images to use them. Not sure if there's a step that automatically optimizes the images used, etc., when doing that (so you don't include the entire .psd when building the Unity project).

jagged monolith
#

We export .PNGs out out Illustrator @cyan sluice

#

Keeping it modular as far as we can, so no text on buttons etc

cyan sluice
#

Okay, what resolution do you usually make each element? Do you create separate art boards for each piece? Then do you add text in Unity?

red apex
#

i dont really do stuff like that but isnt there a way to just import a SVG file?

#

so it has "infinite" resolution

cyan sluice
#

Yeah would svg be scalable in the ui?

red apex
#

yes

#

im not good at unity but i would think so

#

im more of a coder

#

but i like to design a little

regal coyote
#

What's UI Toolkit attempting to solve? I ran some basic tests with updating labels and compared it to UGUI, and UI Toolkit doesn't seem to scale better for Runtime.

Updating 10 labels in UI Toolkit seems 2x times slower than updating 10 TextMeshPro UGUI components (every frame). 🤔

jagged monolith
#

Resolution varies from piece to piece @cyan sluice. Separate art boards for collections of pieces. Text with TextMesh pro in unity

cyan sluice
#

What about if I want to warp the whole ui? I know games like risk of rain 2 and Destiny do this. The hud is warped inwards. Would this just be done on my art or can this be done in Unity?

jagged monolith
#

Not sure about that one. Could perhaps be done with a camera space or world space canvas

red apex
cyan sluice
#

How about animations in the HUD?

mortal robin
#

It can of course be done directly in the art

#

If you do postprocessing that changes the onscreen position or size/shape of the UI elements, and they are interactive via a pointer/mouse, you may have some complications with mouse position not lining up to the UI elements

cyan sluice
#

What about with health bars that move?

#

And can I have a post process effect only apply to the ui?

regal coyote

#

If we have an UI panel that sometimes is not visible, (we use a tween to move it outside the view... Is it enough disabling the gameobject to save UI drawcalls? or should we do somethingelse?

fleet terrace

#

Well, the whole problem is that in HDRP, Unity throws away the alpha channel data from the camera that renders to texture, so it didn’t matter that i had the model rendered with the alpha correctly. And since my model was animated I couldn’t cut out a single image

gilded path
#

That is so stupid o.O

neon crest
#

@rapid ferry What did you use to make that UI? I'm awful at it so far 🙂

#

Oh, interesting! I actually have Affinity Designer, I didn't know you could just like, do that.

#

I've been trying to use the Unity UI objects, and I end up spending forever beating on the properties to get them to even layout correctly, let alone not look like trash lol

#

Is there documentation on how to do that somewhere?

#

Does it really just read designer's files, or do you export in some format?

#

Ok, I think I see. So most of that screen is an image, and you're just positioning the UI text at that point?

#

That makes sense

#

Thanks for the breakdown!

Posted this in the wrong channel, so I'm sending it here. I want to make this little menu ONLY navigable using the keyboard, tried to use the "Navigation" feature, but I don't want to make it so you can unfocus/click buttons with the cursor, is there any better way to do this?

If those buttons are properly anchored, they shouldn’t move like that, so that’s weird. Have you tried changing the resolution of the game window to that of your phone, so you can see if it’s happening in the editor?

#

did you have multiple root canvases before?

#

I want to place them next to each other, not sure if that's possible without using world space

viral pasture
# rapid ferry yes

Just follow any menu tutorial, then move the objects around and customize them to your liking. There’s loads of tutorials on the different UI elements if you’re not sure how to customize each.

iron escarp
#

@viral pasture ?

viral pasture
# iron escarp <@!399771706039730178> ?

Have one root with multiple children canvases. I’d have to be at my computer to recall if multiple roots are possible. It’s probably easier to just have the one root with children that actually hold all the elements.

viral pasture
# cloud stratus Perspective

If your canvas is floating in world space and your camera is in perspective then the angle at which the camera is viewing your canvas is going to change when you move/zoom the camera.

cloud stratus
#

Thats the problem. Is there a way to prevent this?

viral pasture
# cloud stratus Thats the problem. Is there a way to prevent this?

Off the top of my head, you could try having unique canvases for each of your buttons and have them as children of the object they’re supposed to buttonize, lol. The closer to the object’s camera-facing side the better, so it won’t slide as much with perspective changes. You’d probably want to make the buttons slightly larger than the area of the object, to make sure when the object is clicked it’s selected.

# cloud stratus Thank you so much dude, do you think there will be a performance issue if I add ...

No prob, bob. How many canvases are we talking? Hundreds is probably not a great idea lol. Although, Unity recommends dividing UI into multiple canvases, as they said performance-wise its not that bad. I wouldn't go overboard though. I'd first try and see if you can make them one canvas, but just have them at the exact location of the items not in front and render them in front. Or try and make groups of canvases where a room's buttons are on the same canvas.

I have this UI, of course I want it to be a resizeable window cause it's nicer for the user but if someone stretches it out from one end of the moniter to the over then it just looks stupid... What should I do?

viral pasture
wooden trellis
#

Well I mean the entire window

viral pasture
#

Like the application window when a build of your game is playing?

wooden trellis
#

Aren't unity game windows resizeable?

#

I haven't actually made it on unity yet but I'm getting the problem in my planning sketches

viral pasture
#

You can set them to be windowed and resizable. I personally wouldn’t recommend it. Letting them have free reign of the aspect ratio of your game sounds like a headache. You can set it up where they can change the resolution to change the window size, which would help you maintain a logical aspect ratio.

wooden trellis
#

That would make it easier

#

Now I need to decide on a size 😂 I'm think 800x480

wooden trellis
#

never mind, not that anyone cares but im going with 840x480

Question. I want to create an editor pannel to help list items in my game and some basic details that I could maybe hit a button to refresh using some c# code i share with my game's startup to collect item data from files... what would the best way to go about this be?

tranquil parrot
#

Is there a way to create for example a vertical layout group, with a background behind it. And then have a bunch of transparent images as children inside the group and then have spacers between each image, but the spacers must be visible and not transparent? Let me know if this question is not clear enough!

mortal robin
#

(without a sprite assigned)

#

and set the color

#

(or use actual images, if you want)

tranquil parrot
#

@mortal robin Oh yeah that's what I'm currently doing, maybe I'm being to nit-picky. But that means I have to manually set the image(spacer) because just anchoring it to the bottom won't be precisely in the middle of the two children images.

#

I thought maybe there would be an actual way I guess. But I'll go with that method then. Thank you!

mortal robin
tranquil parrot
#

Ohhhhh wait

mortal robin
#

and deal with stuff like.. flexible height/width etc

tranquil parrot
#

Yeah that'll work!

mortal robin
#

I honestly don't full yknow how it works

#

but I know it's possible

tranquil parrot
#

No no, that will actually work perfectly I think! Thank you

bright dagger
#

is there a way to make an input-field "consume" key inputs? so if I type WASD into it for example my character doesnt keep moving?

neon crest
#

Since other components poll input, no, not really. You have to 'turn off' whatever's moving your character

bright dagger
#

if I want to do that, how can I check if the user selected the input field?

neon crest
#

If you don't have an "activate menu" button or something and have input available while playing, I don't actually know. I haven't gotten enough experience with UI yet 🙂

bright dagger
#

oki ty anyways :) Ill just ignore it for now I guess

#

seems weird that this functionality doesnt exist already

neon crest
#

It might well, I just don't know it. I see an event for "change" and "Editing ended", but not "Got focus" which sounds more like what you'd want

bright dagger
#

because why would you want your key presses to still do things while putting inputs into the field

#

confirmed by devs to be a missing feature two years ago, still no update so far from what I can tell

neon crest
#

I can think of a gross hack-around, but maybe someone else will know a clean way to do it

#

If you use the script execution order setting to guarantee your UI code runs before your other input handling, you could use the "Change" event on the input field to signal your other input handling code to ignore a keypress on that frame.

#

It wouldn't disable on clicking on the field, and it's kinda gross... but it would "consume" the keypresses

bright dagger
#

is there a way for a button to call a function and automatically fill the parameter that function asks for with itself?

#

nevermind I got it Im stupid

#

didnt realise I could just pull components from the inspector into the field

neon crest
#

That sounds like my daily Unity loop. "How do I..??? Oh. Duh" 🙂

bright dagger
#

I used Unreal at my previous job so a lot of things that felt really intuitive there are just not intuitive at all to me in Unity

neon crest
#

I'm just new to game dev in general. There's a HUGE surface area to learn and I haven't gotten much depth in most of it yet

bright dagger
#

I dont even get to make games rn its all just business crap

#

:D

#

getting off topic here sorry

neon crest
#

I think that the new UI system combined with the new Input system handles your original problem better. But the UI stuff is in Preview still, and I found it pretty limiting because it's not widely supported by other stuff yet.

polar grove

Hello, I'm making a mobile game, where the players uses a jetpack to fly. I'm having a little trouble with how the player will move the camera. So there is a Joystick for the player movement, and there is a fixed button which upon double tap will start the jetpack and the player will have to hold the botton for the jetpack to work. Not my issue is, if the player's one finger is on the joystick and the other on the fixed button then how will they rotate the camera (done by dragging on the screen). So is there any way that even if when the player is holding the jetpack button they can still move their finger and give input to the Touchfield so they can move the camera?

worldly marlin
#

@polar grove with Unity you can access every screen touch. So in theory you could differentiate which one is on the joystick, which is on the button, and which touches are in game-space. However it sounds more like a game design problem

#

Even though it could be implemented in Unity, I'm not sure how one would physically play the game like you describe. Right thumb is on the joystick, right thumb is on the button

polar grove
#

Left thumb on JS and Right Thumb on button (also Right Thumb for Moving the camera). And thats the issue, if the player uses the button they cant move the camera simultaneously. So I was hoping there will be a way if the Event System can detect a click and drag on the screen from a single thumb at the same time

worldly marlin
#

Oh, like with the same jetpack finger? So essentially you want to track presses on the buttons, and then drag movements after that press

polar grove
#

Yes

worldly marlin
#

It's very similar to the joystick then

polar grove
#

I've found some code online that is supposed to "Not Detect" the first UI Element if its already active, seems really complex so I was hoping for something easier

polar grove
#

Tho the Button and the TouchField are different UI Elements

#

The JS Handle is just a single Element

#

I guess that is doable

#

Not sure how to send input to the touchfield while pressing the button

worldly marlin
#

I would just implement it as a modified joystick that visually appears as a button

polar grove
#

So basically a joystick but without the handle moving?

worldly marlin
#

Yeah, replacing the sprites entirely with a button that clicks up/down

polar grove
#

Ok I'll try making it

#

Set the text rect anchors to expand, the little crosshair looking thing in the top left

#

Then increase the font size from 4

Yeah the bottom right blue one

Stretch vertical and horizontal

When I try to put my font in there. That font isn't the one I want to use

mortal robin

did you create a TMP font asset?

smoky rivet

How do I do that?

mortal robin

#

Ok, got a version of the font.

#

Thanks

#

Though I'm having an issue with the text not sizing properly. Like this should be just one pixel.

mortal robin
smoky rivet
#

Yes, thank you

#

The text characters are only supposed to be 11 pixels tall

mortal robin
#

hmmm

#

I'm not sure exactly what you need to do to set that up

#

a lot of factors come into play for the size of the characters

#

there's your canvas scaler

#

the "font size" attribute

#

the size of the UI TextMeshPro rectTransform

#

then there's all the size options on the font asset itself too

#

🤔

smoky rivet
#

I also have no clue. XD

mortal robin
#

I think to start with - make sure ytour Canvas Scaler is set to "Constant Pixel Size"

#

then just play with all those other options until it's the right height

#

you probably also want "Pixel Perfect" enabled on the canvas

smoky rivet
#

Yep constant pixel size is already selected

#

Hmm... Ok, I think I have it.

i have two UI canvases: canvas0 should in background and canvas1 should in foreground. ive tried testing when the sort order property of the canvas component to 0 and 1, and 1 and 0 respectively but find that nothing has changed. canvas1 (foreground) still appears before canvas0 (background) regardless when canvas1 should be in front.
how do i fix this issue?

canvas render mode is screen space - overlay

Heya, so hopefully this is the right channel for this, if not then correct me. So my question is if anyone knows why the highlight/click color suddenly don't show up anymore on my button. If I start the game, when I hover over the button, it doesn't change color. Seemed to happen out of nowhere as it worked just a few moments ago, might have something to do because I made it a child of something it but I'm not sure

jagged monolith
#

Can you click the button at all?

#

If not something is probably covering the button

#

If you have your EventSystem selected you can see which object is currently hovered

zinc summit
#

Also shows correctly in the EventSystem

jagged monolith
#

Then it might be something with the parenting like you say, I don't know what it would be though

#

Also make sure the image reference on the button is correct

Hi, I've decided to give a try to Unity and switched to it to try to make a mobile game, now I'm trying to implement UI but it's a bit confusing, we don't have an HUD class, we don't have widgets, apparently we have to link scripts to buttons in a weird way and others minor things I've noticed. So don't we have a better way to implement UI in Unity? I'm referring to menus, sub-menus, buttons, text, more menus in a single level... I'm thinking to create a script where I generate the UI and manage it, but it's a bit painful

Hello, i need help please

#

Hi! I am using a grid layout to format my UI list.

#

I want it to start at the top of the list, meaning the content section of my scrollview is always starting at the top

#

Right now, when the scroll view is shown it defaults to the middle

#

here is my setup

#

Basically, all entries into the grid layout group start at the bottom of the grid layout group, which is towards the center. I want to make it so its pinned to the top

#

I also am using a content size filter

#

I do add to the top padding in this section of code, if that is at all relevant

# 
if(count != 1)
        {
            count = 1;
        }
        foreach (Item item in items)
        {

            if (items.Count > slots.Count)
            {
                //Debug.Log("Creating Slot Object"); 
                GameObject slot = UnityEngine.Object.Instantiate<GameObject>(inventorySlot, new Vector3(base.transform.position.x, base.transform.position.y, 0f), base.transform.rotation, contentObject.transform);
                //Debug.Log("Grab the values for the slot");
                slot.GetComponent<Slot>().SetItemSlot(item);
                slot.GetComponent<Slot>().SetID((int)count);
                slot.name = item.name + " " + count;
                slots.Add(slot);
                layout.padding.top = layout.padding.top + 10;
            }```

Centering the text above and the menus below can help to make it more stable looking.

Alternatively if you want to keep the center empty you could try it like this.

Maybe have the menu buttons change size as they are hovered over so they are the same size by default. But then large like the play button when hovered over.

I am running into this issue again, where I create a Canvas, and a button (with an Event system).
But i click on the button (overlay UI) , the click is not even registered. This happened to me before

or sometimes I use this little snippet to debug what the event system is seeing each frame:

            var es = EventSystem.current;
            List<RaycastResult> results = new List<RaycastResult>();
            PointerEventData ed = new PointerEventData(es);
            ed.position = Mouse.current.position.ReadValue();
            es.RaycastAll(ed, results);
            Debug.Log($"raycast results are {string.Join(", ", results.Select(r => r.gameObject.name))}");```
#

replace mouse.current.position etc with Input.mousePosition if using old input system

#

oh wtf Idk what happened but that all got lowercased lol

#

hold on

#

ok fixed sorry

#

that could help you diagnose what is blocking your button or if your button is just not getting seen at all or what

Hey, I'm trying to build a (ingame) UI window that's resizable and have a small question.
I obviously don't want the window to be resized when dragging it in the center, only when dragging the borders.
My question is, what would be the best way to figure out if my mouse position actually is in a certain range to the borders to allow resizing the window?
Should I just setup some rects for the borders and check if my mouse position is contained in any of them?

When I did a similar UI window in the past, I had the actual resizing functionality as a separate component on another GameObject that had a reference to the transform to resize, as well as a normalized Vector to tell which drag direction is grow/shrink, that worked pretty well, but feeled like a bad approach because of the normal vector, it would also require me to have 4-8 of these nested into ever window without even displaying any graphic, kinda redundant..

novel dust
#

using vector distance tells you the distance between two things, so you can say if it's within a certain distance that it'll do x

#

the other way of finding distance is taking the two points and then doing .magnitude

#

If the point is to just resize it, you could use box colliders to detect the raycast

#

then you can have the normal scale horizontally, vertically, or diagonally based on if it's touching one box, or two boxes on a corner at the same time

#

you'd have 4 box colliders in total

Three more UI concepts for my fighting RPG's turn-based combat.
The bottom half of the UI is for the player to select a move on their turn, from the list of moves in their customized fighting style. A player can have up to 14 moves to choose from (including a few default moves like Block and Maneuver), and each move is divided into one of 6 types. The player can choose whichever move they want without having to follow a specific cycle/combo, with the exception that some moves will have cool-downs lasting a certain number of turns, preventing them from being repeated back to back.
The circular cycle you see with the arrows (concepts D and F) is a Counter Wheel, which organizes the different types of moves, and shows which types "counter" other types. Counters trigger special defensive or offensive abilities when the opponent is using the countered type of move. The wheel would rotate as the player selects different moves/types, so that the type for the selected move would always be at the top of the wheel at that time.

#

Since there are up to 14 different moves for a player to choose from their fighting style, and the countering of different types is an important game mechanic, I want the UI to present the choices and info to the player in a way where they don't have to hunt through all their choices within nested menus, or within a huge hand of 14 cards - but I also don't want to give them information overload. And, I want the UI to look and feel elegant instead of clunky.
Which of these three selection styles do you like the most? Why?

Can I stretch a recttransform to a max width? For example i say max width is 1000,
The canvas stretch would follow the screen width and have a width equal to the width below 1000 (screen width of 500 would give a canvas width of 500)), and if the screen width is more, say 1500, the canvas width would stick to 1000

it requires a layout elemenet whereas I don't have any

Dorky beginner question.... what's the definition of a "panel" in the UI menu... and any tips on where to find documentation on it.

you search for Panel in the unity docs and you get 94 answers... none of which are the panel object from unity. LMAO.

worldly marlin
#

Yeah that's a bit confusing. Panel actually isn't a thing in Unity. The "UI > Panel" create option is just a shortcut to make a:
GameObject, RectTransform, Image

#

Oh and I think the default settings of those components with "UI > Panel" are slightly different from their regular defaults, in a way that makes more sense for a panel

I am trying to follow a tutorial from late 2020 on how to get started with the new UI system in Unity. At the moment, I am able to create stylesheets and XML files and work with both in the built-in WYSIWYG editor (UI Builder). However, I haven't been able to follow the steps that would enable me to utilise designed UI on runtime. The tutorial instructs me to create a Panel Settings Asset file (which, judging by its icon, I assume to be a scriptable object) and then create an empty GO and assign a UI Document component to it. I cannot access either. Have I installed UI Toolkit incorrectly or has something changed over the past 4 months in regards to the general workflow?

I have the following packages installed:

  1. UI Builder
  2. Unity UI (which I assume is also referred to as UI Toolkit and UI Elements)
daring dragon
#

I know this isnt actually a scripting channel but its the most relevant channel.
If im reading the documentation right, the Component EventSystem is the component to actually read inputs, and then takes those inputs and gives them to the InputModule, which then sends events to the UIElements.

Is there any way for EventSystem to read inputs not through InputManager but a custom Input System I created?

mortal robin
#

That's why for example the new Input system has its own Input Module

daring dragon
#

I thought Input Module was for sending the events? God Im so confused this is breaking my brain

mortal robin
daring dragon
#

I just dont get where to start

mortal robin
#

Input module is the interface between the input system (getting button input from the keyboard etc) and the event system

daring dragon
#

The Actual code for BaseInputModule and BaseInput from the packages folder has a bunch of information that should be easier to find, Im probably gonna make a guide to making EventSystem work with a custom Input System

Think that has to be a Unity bug

#

What version are you on

vast crystal
#

Hello, I am trying to get UI Toolkit to work, but after installing it from git (via com.unity.ui), Unity refuses to load that particular project (I have loading/ recreating it on versions 2020.3.0f1, 2020.3.2f1 - which was supposed to fix a similar issue according to changelogs, 2021.1.1f1). The error I am getting is Failed to load window layout. I cannot recover from it no matter which buttons I press. I once succeeded in loading the project in safe mode which has given me the following error in package's source:

'ProgressBar' is an ambiguous reference between 'UnityEditor.UIElements.ProgressBar' and 'UnityEngine.UIElements.ProgressBar'

Is UI Toolkit/Elements no longer supported? Am I doing something wrong installing it?

#

I remember once fixing a similar issue by removing/replacing the layout's dwlt in ./Library or its global copy in AppData - none of these seem to work unfortunately.

neon crest
#

I had that sorta thing happen with UI Toolkit. You can probably work around it for now by finding which line it's complaining about and specifying one ProgressBar or the other

#

Possible too that your project has an outdated version of the runtime package?

vast crystal

#

Does packagemanager work in safe mode? I don't recall

#

I think I had this exact same thing happen to me when I updated to 2020 LTS, and for me it was the last straw with UIToolkit so I removed it from my project

vast crystal
#

I am not sure whether I can even open the Editor in safe mode (is there a parameter to force it?)

It's always just offered it to me

It offered it to me once (when I upgraded project from 2020.3.2 to 2021.1.1)

Hi guys!

I just got back to unity been using unity for a long time before. But got back and noticed UI builder is now integrated in unity 2021. Seems bit fuzzy though, seems it more for editor stuff ? Or is it performant / good for in game ui as well as of this date?

Haven't been using the UI builder before, only the older unity ui stuff with canvas etc.

Not really ready for prod, keep using old UI if you doing anything serious

Hi. I was hoping someone might be able to help me. I have an issue happening with the gameobject hierarchy of child prefabs.
Here I have a prefab (BaseCardTemplate), which as you see has a Battlefield_Layout object. I have just added the child object Highlight and ordered it how I want it.

unknown.png
#

But then in my child prefab (CardTemplateUnit) in the same area, the order of the children have changed. For some reason the ArtMask object becomes the last sibling. And ofc I can easily shift those additional Power and Health objects to the bottom, but for some reason the ArtMask and ArtFrame have flipped index's, and due to it being a child of the base prefab, I can't change the hierarchy of it in the child, only the base, but the base is correct...
Not only that, but you'll also notice that the parent object Battlefield_Layout itself is also at a different index with it's other layout siblings, but same again, the base one is right.

unknown.png
#

If anyone knows the best solution for reordering this or resetting it's positions without unpacking it, that would be most appreciated. I'm quite lost because there's nothing in the overrides of the child that seems to have changed the index.

@rapid ferry nice and minimalistic :) I would consider having a thin outline around the buttons, to more clearly distinguish them from the text. Currently it's a bit hard to tell what is a button and what is not.

#

Hey guys! I have a training mission in my game where I teach people to play. I was wondering if anyone can way in on what I have so far

#

Granted it's not done yet but just curious of some thoughts

mild kernel
obtuse oyster
#

Ah that's not a bad idea. I was more curious of the UI / UX though in regards to the training.

#

I might do that to! Thanks for the heads up @mild kernel

mild kernel
#

Oh, nevermind it's a video, sorry.

#

It's fine, leave it here. 😆

obtuse oyster
#

I added the animated arrow to give a bit more direction on where the players should be heading but I know it's a bit at odds with the controls

#

being shown

#

🤔

mild kernel
#

I like that it slows down, but maybe slow it down to a stop over time, if there's no input to force the player to actually do the action.

#

Also, remove the right button when dealign with the left tutorial and vice versa. The UI is just showing the hit area, they're not going to be visible buttons during gameplay.

obtuse oyster
#

Sorry not understanding the second bit

#

specifically dealign

mild kernel
#

Sorry, "dealing*.

During your tutorial the ship launches, and when they have to begin turning left, only flash the "Turn Left" hit area on the screen (the right one shouldn't be visible, it's unnecessary to that point in the tutorial). Then when they have to turn right, show and flash the "Turn Right" hit area, hiding the left one.

obtuse oyster
#

Ah yeah that was my initial thought on the final form of the tutorial

#

unfortunately technically it would require a bit more time to flash the correct controls up though as even if they turn left, there momentum can lead them in to the meteors if they don't turn left enough. At that point I would really need to flash up the exact controls given there trajectory and that's where the complication comes in. It can be done, just requires a bit more time and effort. But I do agree that at the very least the right should be flashed first.

mild kernel
#

Yeah, that's a good point.

#

I mean, regardless, I think it's pretty clear anyway.

obtuse oyster
#

Awesome. So this was my next bit of direction for improving it

mortal robin
#

Turn Left and Turn Right are very confusing to me because the rockeet appears to be doing exactly the opposite

obtuse oyster
#

Ah great point, is it the terminology that's confusing?

mortal robin
#

I guess I'm not really sure what I'm looking at

#

Are those big squares instructions?

#

Or are they controls?

obtuse oyster
#

They are controls

mortal robin
#

ahhh

#

that makes more sense

obtuse oyster
#

all great feedback

#

this is exactly what i'm after

#

thanks so much for all the input

mortal robin
#

Ok you were saying it's a tutorial so I thought maybe it was telling the player to turn left in the first section and turn right in the second section

obtuse oyster
#

Really needed someone to pick the crap out of this lol. Been staring at it for too long

#

Yeah so let me see if i can record teh whole thing

mortal robin
#

Is this the very first tutorial part?

#

I think you might need to start with somthing even more basic

#

Like just have the rocket in the center of the screen and demonstrate how the Turn left and Turn Right buttons work

#

independent of anything else

#

with just a stationary rocket

#

Then go into something where the rocket is moving and turning at the same time

obtuse oyster
#

Yeah so there is a controls screen that kind of does that (poorly admittedly due to time contstraints). But yes this is the first mission in which they utilize the missile

#

That's a link to the video that shows off the full training mission

#

I believe it is still processign though

Hey all, trying to figure out how to set up masking for TextMeshPro, but the best I can find is a 7 year old tutorial and he's not really explaining it very well...

#

Does anybody know of a good tutorial for this, or can answer questions directly about it here?

obtuse oyster
#

Hey guys I've updated my training mission from yesterday and would love some feedback on the UI / UX aspect. I think I have a decent idea of waht is going wrong but the more feedback the better imo.

#

Essentially there are zones that flash the controls the players should press at that point.

#

When the player actually presses the control though it highlights to give them feedback they are doing something.

#

This is the first mission in my game.

fierce oak
#

I have a sprite mask that removes the button sprite, but the text is a TMP object that is a child of the sprite, and I need to find a way to mask the TMP text in the same areas I mask the button's sprite.

neon crest
fierce oak
#

I've seen that post a few times today but it confuses me that they're just getting unexpected masking behavior, whereas I can't get anything to be masked at all

#

I guess if I really wanted to I could tell each button to set their Clip Rects to the bounds I want, but that would mean every single button is constantly setting/changing their Clip Rect at runtime, which sounds like a lot of overhead for something that should have a simpler implementation

neon crest
#

Sorry then, you're right that there doesn't seem to be much on the topic

fierce oak
#

Outside of the canvas, you will need to manually or via some script adjust the ClipRect values. this is all I have that indicates that might be the only option, but I wish there would be more people talking about it and explaining why, at least

neon crest
#

Have you tried posting there? Not neccesarily in that thread, but the forums in general. Usually when I have a semi-obscure topic I have to cast a pretty wide net to get anything close to an answer

#

Most of the time there is documentation to snarkily point to

#

#

I feel like a baka

#

#

Mask component works perfectly well with TMP btw. just have to parent under it and resize the Rect

fierce oak
#

Yeah that's what I'd assumed too, but applying a mask component to my canvas simply doesn't do anything

#

I did figure it out though. I don't quite understand what the values mean, but I changed them from 2, 8 to 0, 7, and it suddenly masks out when not in the canvas' rect

anyone?

#

My pause menu is invisible and over top of my main menu stopping me from pressing buttons on the main menu even though the pause menu is on a different scene

#

Additive scenes? So two scenes loaded in at once?

#

My guess is that even though your pause menu UI may be on a different scene, the physics (box collider) is capturing your input before it can get to the menu buttons. You may need to disable those buttons entirely rather than make them invisible for it to work.

So I'm trying to make a text use CrossFadeAlpha to fade in and out on the click of a keyboard key (e). However, it only fades in and out once and never shows back up. The code that I'm using to make it happen:

     {
         if(Input.GetKeyDown(KeyCode.E) && canEnterDoor == true)
         {
             quotes.text = "You have entered a door.";
             quotes.CrossFadeAlpha(0.0f, 2.5f, false);
         }
         else if (Input.GetKeyDown(KeyCode.E) && canEnterDoor == false)
         {
             quotes.text = "You have interacted with nothing.";
             quotes.CrossFadeAlpha(0.0f, 2.5f, false);
         }
     }
```How could I make it so that the CrossFadeAlpha works not just one time?

but like what about my issue?

#

cuz the crossfade only happens once and then doesnt happen again

#

@trail spruce

trail spruce
#

Look at your arguments in both instances of CrossFadeAlpha

#

You're fading to 0 in both instances.

rapid ferry
#

yeah that's intended

#

because the text starts as white

trail spruce
#

Alright, but in one instance you need to fade back to 1.

#

Alpha isn't part of the "white", it's a fourth channel altogether..

rapid ferry
#

and that wouldn't make the text reappear?

#

only one way to find out I guess

#

okay so now the text never goes away @trail spruce

#

once I press the button to activate it*

trail spruce
#

First off, do this..


void Update()
        {
            if (Input.GetKeyDown(KeyCode.E))
            {
                if (canEnterDoor)
                {
                    quotes.text = "You have entered a door.";
                    quotes.CrossFadeAlpha(0.0f, 2.5f, false);
                }
                else
                {
                    quotes.text = "You have interacted with nothing.";
                    quotes.CrossFadeAlpha(0.0f, 2.5f, false);
                }
            }
        }
rapid ferry
#

#

#

Are you trying to get the text to fade away after some time?

rapid ferry
trail spruce
#

I would look into either an animation or into an enumerator.

rapid ferry
#

oh.

#

ok.

trail spruce
#

Honestly, just fire off animations. It's easier to control those sorts of small things like that.

rapid ferry
#

alright

trail spruce
#

And you can reference the same animation for both quotes.

rapid ferry
#

true

#

i just need to mess with the object that it's on

trail spruce
#

You can recycle the animation between objects, you just need to tween the alpha.

#

Tween being an old-ass word.

rapid ferry
#

lol

#

@trail spruce So when creating the animation, which property would I add?

#

Because it doesn't have an alpha property that I can add.

#

unless I'm blind XD

#

actually I have an idea

trail spruce
#

Should be on the color variable of the text.

rapid ferry
trail spruce
#

Theeeeeeere you go.

rapid ferry
#

There's also just "Color"

trail spruce
#

Animate that.

rapid ferry
#

What would the difference be between "Color" and "Font Color"?

trail spruce
#

Experiment.

rapid ferry
#

just that the Font Color only changes the font or somethin

#

k

#

I fucking hate keyframes e

#

@trail spruce For some reason if I add a keyframe and try to change it, it changes all of the keyframes and not just the one I want to select

#

wait

#

e

#

im so confused

#

@trail spruce so neither of font color or color would work when I tried to change them with animation (figured out how)

Hello everyone. I'm using the new input manager with local split-screen multiplayer and my issue is that I need some UI to be replicated for each player. Consequently, I've made a prefab of the ui canvas and set its render to screen space camera. Whenever a player joins, I instantiate the canvas prefab and hook up the player's camera in it. However, while playing, the UI is jittering while the player is moving. I've tried setting pixel perfect to on/off, messing with the camera clipping planes and the canvas distance but I'm getting nowhere...

There is any way to have the same text size in several elements if they have autosize? Make all be the smaller or something like that

jagged monolith
#

if interactable is false, you can not click the button. Simple as that

#

Your first question is about setting that value in the OnClick function of a button?

#

If you do that, then you just set whether a button is interactable or not based on what you set it to, and this happens when you click the button

#

When you choose Button>Interactable from the dropdown in OnClick, you get a checkbox. This checkbox is what Interactable is set to when the button is clicked

Ok question. How does preferred height work with children? For instance, say I have a panel, containing a button as a child. The button's preferred height is 30, according to the inspector, but the containing panel's preferred height is 10. Wut??? Am I misunderstanding the system?

I just want the parent panel to be the same height as the child button.

#

It goes:

-- Panel (with no special components)
--- Button (with layout element setting preferred height to 30)```
...yet the panel's height is driven to 10 rather than 30 by the container's vertical layout group. I don't understand why.
lethal moon
#

Nevermind I figured out that adding a horizontal layout group to the container fixed it. I think maybe the preferred height is only calculated from the components of the current object, and not from children. Since the layout group calculates preferred height from the children, it then provides a component on the local object from which to pull the correct preferred height.

Hey guys, I need a UGUI expert. I want to have a lobby with an entry of height 50px for every player and an add player button at the bottom. When the list gets too long, I want a scrollbar to pop up. My current approach is to put the players in a vertical layout group and to put that vertical layout group with the add player button in another vertical layout group.

#

The problem is that the player list group doesn't resize properly. I kinda fixed this using a content size fitter but now the button doesn't get placed properly (it's always a bit off)

It's hard to see in this picture but there are actually 4 players. The last one is behind the add player button

Hi there, not sure if it's more of a UI thing or a general code thing but :
How do you make your bootscene UI overlap your game scene UI ?
I followed https://learn.unity.com/project/swords-and-shovels-game-managers-loads-and-the-game-loop?uv=2019.3&missionId=5f751af7edbc2a0022cdbbb6 and I made the small "pause menu" thing.
When you're in-game and you press "Escape" the game freezes, and the pause menu shows up.
The issue i'm having with this is that the pause menu goes UNDER my game scene UI.
I tried to fix this with the canvas "Sort Order" attribute but it doesnt seems to be working.
Did I miss something regarding Canvas Sorting Layers (looks like it doesnt exist anymore ? I'm using Unity 2019.4)
Thanks
EDIT : nvm looks like "Sort Order" is working DESC and not ASC...

Awesome thanks!

#

Hmm @mortal robin trying that seems to remove it from the group entirely. I'd like to retain it's position and adhere to the group but allow it to be moved horizontally

mortal robin
#

You can add empty "spacer" elements with their own Layout Elements on them

#

but otherwise if your object is in a group it must adhere to the group

#

invisible spacers are probably the way to go

Hey guys is it possible to access the close button in windowed mode? You know when you have a file note saved and you press close and you get would you like to save? Is it possible to do something like that in Unity.

is there a good reason why post processing works on screen space camera but not screen space overlay?

@mortal robin thanks

#

that means the camera can't render the post processing effects

#

I wonder if it's internally really done "after" all other cameras rendered, or whether that's just the abstraction that makes sense here

#

but since it's unlikely drawn to a buffer it must be done after likely

#

and not part of any camera

#

and PostProcessing is tied to a camera

Is it possible to use Sprite Atlases for the UI in a 3D game?

UI image components use sprites regardless if you're making a 2D or 3D game.

But I am trying to use the Sprite Atlas but it doesn't seem to want to work with either Image or Raw Image

mild kernel
#

It takes an individual sprite.

#

An atlas is just a collection of sprites you splice. If you want to animate through it, then you make an animation.

Okay, thank you!

Hi all, what's the state of UI animation in unity atm?
I'm not talking keyframing elements around the screen, more things long the lines of lottie (https://airbnb.io/lottie/#/) ie. animations exported from after effects without requiring bulky image sequences?

Also I can't seem to find a way to setup an animated UI element without using png sequences, I was hoping there'd be a way to use a spritesheet & sprite renderer?

mortal robin
#

UI.Image is the UI version

#

You can keyframe different sprites into the Image on the scrubsheet

#

as for Lottie, idk

rustic rain
#

Yeah but with this method you end up with bulky apps that have a load of image files floating around, have there been no advancements here?
I've had a look at U.Movin (https://github.com/leetful/u.movin) but this requires preview unity packages, doesn't seem very stable and also creates animation in world space rather than UI space.

Sprites != Images

#

unless you're talking about Lottie

rustic rain
#

So there is a way to use a grid based spritesheet to have an animated UI Image?

mortal robin
#

yes

#

import your spritesheet as a Sprite in multiple mode
