text leaking out of the popup | Official Unity Discord | Page 1

Hey everyone, so, unfortunately for me, I still wasn't able to fix the issue of text "leaking" out of the popup. Due to the fact that I'm struggling with this problem for couple of days by now, I think that making a thread so that my issue doesn't get mixed up with other UI related questions. So, this is how the thing currently looks like:

#

I literally wrote the introduction to my problem and discord decided "eh, screw this guy". Well, I guess I will just describe it once more

#

This is how my popup currently looks like:

#

#

As you can see, the text is clearly leaking out of the popup.

#

The structure of the popup in question:

#

Any kind of help would be appreciated ❤️

#

Showing just the hierarchy isn't very useful

#

What components are on those things

#

This is the way to do it. Probably doesn't work because you've missed something

back

#

hmmm, well, I just tried it out again and well

#

It is workong

#

You'd need to add padding

wintry portal Apr 19, 2022, 8:45 AM

#

When working with UI, press T and use the UI tools

#

You need to sort out the layout/alignment properly now. On the 'destroy' put a LayoutElement component and tick the ignore flag .. this will allow you to have it under the vert layout group and put it wherever you want

sharp salmon Apr 19, 2022, 10:13 AM

#

still no

#

#

there shouldn't be anything on the tag object, right?

wintry portal Apr 19, 2022, 10:17 AM

#

Tick 'Control Child Size' height on the vert layout group

sharp salmon Apr 19, 2022, 10:26 AM

#

ok, it works now, one more thing

#

#

how do I keep the text inside?

sharp salmon Apr 19, 2022, 7:26 PM

#

@wintry portal (I hope you don't mind being pingged)

wintry portal Apr 19, 2022, 8:39 PM

#

You need to look at the settings, the anchors, the padding

#

In your screenshots, you snip off all the info that is useful

sharp salmon Apr 20, 2022, 3:01 PM

#

Sorry I didn't answer, was at school

#

here

#

I mean, tbh on the text object there is nothing attached

#

here's the popup image though

#

wintry portal Apr 20, 2022, 3:03 PM

#

🤦‍♂️

#

cutting off info again

#

the recttransform matters...

sharp salmon Apr 20, 2022, 3:04 PM

#

only so much I can screenshot in one piece

#

wintry portal Apr 20, 2022, 3:05 PM

#

UI scale should ALWAYS be at 1,1,1

#

weird thigns start happening when you don't do that

#

you also don't have it anchored to any specific part of the canvas

sharp salmon Apr 20, 2022, 3:06 PM

#

let's just say it's a way too big at 1,1,1

wintry portal Apr 20, 2022, 3:06 PM

#

Is it worldspace UI?

#

I see it is from one of your earlier screenshots

#

ALL UI elements should be at 1,1,1

#

the parent can be what you resize to make it accurate

#

I normally have an empty gameobject, and set the scale to 0.02 on that

sharp salmon Apr 20, 2022, 3:08 PM

#

it is worldspace UI, yes

sharp salmon Apr 20, 2022, 3:08 PM

#

wintry portal I normally have an empty gameobject, and set the scale to 0.02 on that

good idea

sharp salmon Apr 20, 2022, 3:09 PM

#

wintry portal you also don't have it anchored to any specific part of the canvas

is there any specific part I should anchor?

#

Like

wintry portal Apr 20, 2022, 3:10 PM

#

for the popup, probably the center will do

sharp salmon Apr 20, 2022, 3:10 PM

#

I assume like this?

#

oh right

#

popup

#

not text

wintry portal Apr 20, 2022, 3:10 PM

#

I don't know what you're sharing..

#

you sent a screenshot of the popup layout element + image.. then a rect transform without saying anything...

sharp salmon Apr 20, 2022, 3:23 PM

#

\

wintry portal Apr 20, 2022, 3:27 PM

#

nice

#

I find it strange that the text is outside of the recttransform

#

But anyway.. set these values to what looks right

sharp salmon Apr 20, 2022, 3:41 PM

#

fixed, but another issue now, ugh

#

#

even though destroy has ignore layout

#

\

wintry portal Apr 20, 2022, 3:44 PM

#

ok, so set it's anchor to be bottom right..?

sharp salmon Apr 20, 2022, 3:51 PM

#

ok and now text is being messed uup again

#

it changes it's position depending on the popups position in the worldspace\

wintry portal Apr 20, 2022, 3:52 PM

#

without a screenshot it doesnt make sense

sharp salmon Apr 20, 2022, 3:52 PM

#

#

I was making one

wintry portal Apr 20, 2022, 3:52 PM

#

however, I noticed.. Z should be 0

#

for all child elements of the canvas, Z should be 0

wintry portal Apr 20, 2022, 3:53 PM

#

sharp salmon

just toggle the popup gameobject off/on and see if anything changes

sharp salmon Apr 20, 2022, 3:54 PM

#

wintry portal for all child elements of the canvas, Z should be 0

for some reason it isn't

#

AFK

wintry portal Apr 20, 2022, 3:54 PM

#

yeah, because you have set them to not 0

sharp salmon Apr 20, 2022, 3:54 PM

#

wintry portal yeah, because you have set them to not 0

I did

#

ah the code changed the Z

#

alright, I will continue later, gotta do homework

sharp salmon Apr 21, 2022, 2:18 PM

#

just in time before 24 hour mark

#

well, the issue was still not resolved

#

@wintry portal another problem

#

            var Rect = image.GetComponent<RectTransform>();
            image.SetActive(true);
            Rect.position = new Vector3(objectHit.position.x, col.bounds.max.y + 1.5f, 0);```

#

still doesn't work

wintry portal Apr 21, 2022, 2:32 PM

#

"doesn't work" isn't a descriptive problem. Explain better

sharp salmon Apr 21, 2022, 2:33 PM

#

Z still gets changed

#

even though it's 0

wintry portal Apr 21, 2022, 2:33 PM

#

don't use position

sharp salmon Apr 21, 2022, 2:47 PM

#

something weird is happening

#

sharp salmon Apr 21, 2022, 6:49 PM

#

so yeah

wintry portal Apr 21, 2022, 6:57 PM

#

I would answer quicker if I didn't have to ask for stuff all the time

#

you've got that issue, it's obviously something code related... where's the code?

sharp salmon Apr 21, 2022, 7:02 PM

#

ok I got it bigger, had to scale it up, it just doesn't move

#

well it does

#

but slightly

#

barely noticable

#

            InteractionRadius fetchData = objectHit.GetComponent<InteractionRadius>();
            var col = objectHit.GetComponent<BoxCollider>();
            var Rect = image.GetComponent<RectTransform>();
            image.SetActive(true);
            Rect.anchoredPosition = new Vector3(objectHit.position.x, col.bounds.max.y + 1.5f, 0);```

wintry portal Apr 21, 2022, 8:01 PM

#

I think perhaps I've misunderstood what you were doing with this

#

what's image ? I assumed it was Image image .. but is it the popupParent GameObject?

sharp salmon Apr 22, 2022, 3:24 PM

#

no it is not, it's an image

sharp salmon Apr 23, 2022, 1:15 PM

#

so uh, @wintry portal ?

sharp salmon Apr 24, 2022, 1:54 PM

#

well
