5.3.3 Get Position and Size of a Panel
Hello!
So i have a scene like this, with plenty of panels and layout control components on them. I wish to use them as waypoints while moving cards around, since they can be conviniently rescaled. It's probably not the most proper way to use GUI, but i didn't expect so much trouble there.
The problem is, i can't get actual position or size of these panels in runtime, at all. I tried
var firstPlayerHand = GameObject.Find("First Player Hand");
var position1 = firstPlayerHand.transform.position;
var position2 = firstPlayerHand.GetComponent<RectTransform>().rect;
The first one returns coordinates, that means little to me. More over, it returns the same coordinates for every GUI element i try it on. To be precise, it's (-10.7, -5.0, 0.0).
The second one returns empty rectangle.
Would be great if someone could enlighten me on what's going on here.
Alright, silly me. I've read positions at the start, but it takes atleast one frame to set them up. So after the first Update() everything is good to go.
