2D Mobile GUI Scaler
I've tried to find a scaler for my mobile game and I realized that I could just use the screen size and divide or multiply the width and height to get the location automatically scaled. This did work for my two GUI labels BUT, I didn't take into account that the size on different resolution screens would look either too large or to small. Is there a way that I can change the size of the text so that it always looks the same on all screens? I apologize if this is a stupid question, as I am new to Unity. This is just my text code to create it on start (I took out some other stuff that wasn't for the GUI).
public Font myFont;
public GUIText scoreTxt;
public GUIText highscoreTxt;
void OnGUI(){
GUIStyle myStyle = new GUIStyle();
myStyle.font = myFont;
GUI.Label(new Rect(Screen.height / 54,Screen.width / 21, 400, 200), "Score:" + score.ToString(), myStyle);
GUI.Label(new Rect(Screen.height / 23,Screen.width * temp, 200, 200), life.ToString(), myStyle);
}
I have found out that you can vary the size of the text with the font size with myStyle.fontSize = num. I still don't know how i could set up a int that would vary from screen size.
OK, I figured out how to scale the size, and it really is just like the location.
public Font myFont;
public int fontsize2;
void OnGUI(){
fontsize = (Screen.height / fontsize2) + (Screen.width / fontsize2);
GUIStyle myStyle = new GUIStyle();
myStyle.font = myFont;
myStyle.fontSize = fontsize;
GUI.Label(new Rect(Screen.height / 54,Screen.width / 21, 400, 200), "Score:" + score.ToString(), myStyle);
GUI.Label(new Rect(Screen.height / 23,Screen.width * temp, 200, 200), life.ToString(), myStyle);
}
Using myStyle, which is my custom pixel font, I can declare the font size within the code with myStyle.font and have that set as a private int. I can then say that the fontsize is Screen.height and Screen.width divided by public int fontsize2. After a little messing around in the editor I set fontsize2 to around 25.
