iTween issue creating a gui. menu box

you are using if on that line and GUI.BeginGroup is not a true or false nor its not a button.

so it tells you the if statement is an error.

http://docs.unity3d.com/Documentation/ScriptReference/GUI.BeginGroup.html

good luck sfc

Do you mean it has to be more like this, although it still has the same error:

  GUI.BeginGroup(new Rect(10, 10, 100, 600));
         
         GUI.Box(new Rect(-5, 14, 100, 800), "");
         
         if(GUI.Box(new Rect(-5, 14, 100, 800), ""))
 
 ...

Cheers sfc

why are you using IF with GUI.Box use GUI.Button and it shuld be ok

gui.box is a void static function while gui.button is a bool

static function Box(position: Rect, text: string): void; http://docs.unity3d.com/Documentation/ScriptReference/GUI.Box.html

static function Button(position: Rect, text: string): bool;

http://docs.unity3d.com/Documentation/ScriptReference/GUI.Button.html

have fun

So I guess this is where I was getting mixed up. I wanted to be able to touch the gui.box and the action would be it would slide out. Can the box be touched and allow the slide out function?nimagine the edge of the box had a message that said touch to open.

Thanks again

just change the box to button, try this

 using UnityEngine;
 using System.Collections;

     //Selection Grid
     public int selGridInt = -1;

     //Counts sells
     private int lastSel = -1;
  
     //LeftNav GUI skin reference
     public GUISkin leftnav;
  
     //Objects
     public GameObject Object1;
     public GameObject Object2;

     public bool boxRectState = false;  
     public Rect boxRect = new Rect(-5,14,100,800); //holds actual button rect coordinates

        ///THIS IS THE ERROR LINE//AnimatingUnityGUI.cs(36,17): error CS0029: Cannot implicitly convert type `void' to `bool'///

          {    // selGridInt changed?

             }

             }
  
          }
  
       
  
        GUI.EndGroup();
  
     }
  
        void $$anonymous$$oveboxRect(Rect newCoordinates){
        boxRect=newCoordinates;
