Scaling GUI When Screen Width is Adjusted
Hi, all! I have looked at the answers to this question many times, but none ever seem to work!
I have made I game. I have designed the GUI to work with 1080 x 1024 resolution screens. My GUI will get squished together or will leave the screen in any other resolution. Is there a way to scale my GUI so that the smaller the screen is, the smaller the GUI (& text inside it) is? The other examples I have seen just position the GUI. :(
Also, I have GUITexture backgrounds. Is there any way for me to make it so that my background image is scaled/stretched to fit the screen?
I really need help here. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks! - YA
maybe you have not seen the correct answer so maybe this is the answer of your problem: http://answers.unity3d.com/questions/21244/gui-postion-affacted-when-$$anonymous$$imize-the-screen/27855#27855
Or maybe not. It doesn't address scaling. The author in that post want to change pixelInset, probably wanting to maintain pixel perfect scale and ins$$anonymous$$d position the elements around.
Yes, you can use GUI.matrix to scale your Gui. However, note that your gui will probably look stretched with other aspect ratios unless you design your gui for each ratio.
Scale x by (Screen.width / 1080) and y by (Screen.height / 1024). Use Matrix4x4.Scale to create the matrix.
I haven't tested it myself but this should work.
Vector3 scale = new Vector3((float)Screen.width / 1080.0f,
(float)Screen.height / 1024.0f,
1.0f);
GUI.matrix = Matrix4x4.Scale(scale);
