How could I center a GUI box on screen?
I'm trying to make a very simple menu and want to center the GUI for it. So far I have this...
var Menu11 : Rect = Rect(10, 10, 200, 200);
function OnGUI ()
{
GUI.Window(0, Menu11, Menu33, "Cargo Test");
}
function Menu33(){
if(GUILayout.Button("Play")){
Application.LoadLevel("Cargo");
}
if(GUILayout.Button("Controls")){
Application.LoadLevel("Control");
}
if(GUILayout.Button("Quit")){
Application.Quit();
}
}
... So what would I add to make it center or change the sizes of the buttons? Any help would be appreciated.
The thing you have to do is to set the x and y coordinates when you create your rect to be in the center of the screen, but also relative to the window size.
Exampel Code in C#:
private Rect Menu11;
void Start () {
int windowWidth = 200;
int windowHeight = 200;
int x = (Screen.width - windowWidth) / 2;
int y = (Screen.height - windowWidth) / 2;
Menu11 = new Rect(x,y,windowWidth,windowHeight);
}
void OnGUI () {
GUI.Window (0, Menu11, Menu33, "Cargo Test");
}
void Menu33(int i) {
if(GUILayout.Button("Play")){
}
if(GUILayout.Button("Controls")){
}
if(GUILayout.Button("Quit")){
}
}
Try tweaking the sizes a different way. Instead of using pixels...
var Menu11 : Rect = Rect(10, 10, 200, 200);
Try replacing the values with the screen width & height divided by a float. Something like this:
var Menu11 : Rect = Rect(Screen.height/2.6f, Screen.width/7.1f, Screen.height/5.0f, Screen.width/2.7f);
Screen.width and Screen.height can be used in any of those parameters. A button would be something like this:
if(GUILayout.Button(Rect = Rect(5,Screen.height/5.2f,Screen.width/2.2f,Screen.width/7.4f), "Play"))
I use C#, I'm not familiar with UnityScript but I tried my best to mimic your syntax. I may have a Syntax error in my answer
It will take a lot of tweaking to get just right. If this method is too slow and annoying, consider using Unity's current UI system instead.
I found it when working with editor window, its better to use the active resolution instead:
int winW = 800;
int winH = 600;
int winX = ( Screen.currentResolution.width - winW ) / 2;
int winY = ( Screen.currentResolution.height - winH ) / 2;
m_Window.position = new Rect( winX, winY, winW, winH );
m_Window.Show();
