2. Commit uxml changes often

Those things have generally kept me moving forward without issue. In generally like the framework and the UI has so far worked for most of my stuff pretty well

[merry lantern]

It's a great tool, but needs some refinement

[urban totem]

yeah I don't know that I've ever had a great experience with a WYSIWYG

Hi for some reason I'm using the text but when I look into game view there's no text but the text shows up in the scene view... why is this happening?

[opal temple]

Never mind I found out why! It's because it had to be a child under a canvas and for the render space it had to be world space

i hate unity 2021

[gusty vapor]

do listView.Rebuild()

[uneven lodge]

Thanks

[uneven lodge]

Can you give me more detail?

[gusty vapor]

when you changed the size of your IList you must tell the changes of the itemSource to the ListView by doing someListView.Rebuild()

btw, why you have the foldoutheader but you still make a function to determine the size of the inventory?

[uneven lodge]

tutorial told me do that

[gusty vapor]

aight, carry on!👍

[uneven lodge]

btw why the same code not work the same?

[tawny flax]

Probably because something else is not the same :D

Hello all, having fun with unity here!. Problem came up while I am building my interface in UI Builder using UXML and UI Toolkit.

I'm unable to find any clear documentation or people discussion the simple step of being able to assign a click event from the UXML elements to a callback function in my controller.

Everything I come across programmatically creates the buttons.

If you can provide any links that could help me with my particular scenario that would be great. Tried googling for a while now.

Thanks!

[merry lantern]

@stray estuary you can select your button via UQuery and then change its clicked property, or register a callback with RegisterCallBack() method.

https://docs.unity3d.com/2021.3/Documentation/Manual/UIE-Controls.html

There's also these tutorials.

They are a little outdated, but should help you through the basics

[stray estuary]

thanks for the help, this solved my issue!

[merry lantern]

just a tip: you can shorthand Query<T> to just Q<T>.

Hey everyone, can any one help me out and tell me if it's possible to create a none square mask? I want to have it in this shape but the mask doesn't work as the area is still a square

Hey guys I am remaking my UI to use the new unity UI tookit framework and wondering if I should use additive scene vs prefab to handle sharing ui elements across scenes. I am in need of an inventory system, hotbar and player overlay. I am reading that because of addressables additive scenes are useless for what I am trying to do. Any suggestion? Thanks

[lunar rain]

Are you really using the new #🧰┃ui-toolkit or the legacy ui?

[merry lantern]

It's on their roadmap. But as of today you cant create masks, just containers that act as a viewport

Additive scenes to reuse ui feels excessive. What do you guys think?

[slate tree]

Really hoping someone can help out here!
We are pretty new to using the new UI toolkit, and ran into this issue. We want to render it using layers, so we can render other camera views on top of the UI built with the new UI Toolkit. But how do we achieve this? The normal layering and overlay method doesnt seem to work in our case. You can see the normal setup in the screenshot (i have tried moving stuff around as well)

A possible workaround would be overlaying a camera into the UI Element, but i don't know if this is possible either. Hopefully one of you big brains have my solution :-)

Hey, has anyone used the UI-Toolkit in a production app before? Is it stable enough?

[rough scarab]

It's got its issues and limitations. Some of which will stop certain types of productions, or be a pain in the ass if you run into them repeatedly. It's worth looking at the UI comparison docs (pinned here), and noting that being on the latest Unity releases will get you more features. I've personally had to report a lot of bugs and make my own workarounds for a number of issues, but UGUI causes me physical pain (https://twitter.com/linustechtip_/status/1511904688278491137) so I wouldn't choose the alternative unless I require it 😛

[wary cloud]

I asked this previously but I lost the messages saying how I would do this. How can I get windows like these? I have no idea what to search online.

[rough scarab]

Please don't cross-post.
You could google "graph view blackboard"
There's a tutorial for graph view pinned to #↕️┃editor-extensions. I think Unity is generally moving towards using their wrapper for the core which is called GraphTools Foundation. But the base will get you going fine enough.

[wary cloud]

alright, thanks

Hello, is it possible to do something like this with UI Toolkit? It is a menu over a gameobject I suppose

Or is it mandatory to use canvas to achieve something like this?

[last raptor]

UIToolkit doesn't support world-space documents yet

[fervent bay]

Hi, is there any tutorial or guidelines or anything on how to use the localization package with ui toolkit ?

[static canyon]

Hey vertx - I was going to suggest the workflow of giving the panel asset a RenderTexture and then applying that to the mesh’s material. Any reason you think this wouldn’t work? We use it for world space ui’s without much difficulty including mouse picking.

[rough scarab]

If it's working for you, go for it. I'm not really going to recommend workarounds for things that aren't actually supported as there's just a lot to get into for the unexperienced.

[static canyon]

I can understand that. From my pov it isn’t a workaround - it appears to work as designed (as per their world space example). Yet for some reason they keep saying world space ui is unsupported- really wonder what they imagine ever doing other than what already exists.

[rough scarab]

They don't want to support that workflow. When they have a workflow that does it officially—where you don't have to create your own RT, material, and handle input routing—then they'll be open to fixing bugs that occur in it.

[uneven lodge]

why is every time i import new font by text mesh pro there will be something annoying

[cyan pike]
