Question by birns92 · Jul 01, 2016 at 08:41 PM · c#guiarraychildrenline

separate the items of an array with lines

In my project I have a game object named "Grandpa" who has multiple children. I assigned Grandpa the following script.

 using UnityEngine;
 using System.Collections;
 
 public class linechild : MonoBehaviour
 {
     public string[] kids;
     public GameObject Grandpa;
   
     void Start()
     {
         Grandpa = GameObject.Find("Grandpa");
         kids = new string[Grandpa.transform.childCount];
     }
 
     void OnGUI()
     {
 
         for (int i = 0; i < Grandpa.transform.childCount; i++)
         {
             kids[i] = Grandpa.transform.GetChild(i).name;
             //Creates a GUI.Label that increments the Y position down for every increment of i
             GUI.Label(new Rect(100, 100 + (i * 30), 200, 20), kids[i]);
         }
     }
 }

The script stores all of the children of "Grandpa" in an array and displays their names to the screen using GUI.Label. That looks like this

how can I separate each array item with a line so it would look like this:

Add an image UI object that you make thin and long like a line. You can make it a prefab and instantiate in start so that if you have 5 or 10 children it will automatically add it

 for(int i =0 ; i < length; i++)
 {
      // Add name text 
      if(i == 0 || i == length - 1){ // ignore first and last
              continue;
      }
      // Add name line
 }

thanks for the simple answer, this will definitely work! however a UI image will only be visible within a canvas. At least to my knowledge. If I instantiate the image it will do so outside of the canvas rendering them invisible.
