How can I create nested buttons ?
Hi,
I would like to create nested buttons with GUILayout.Button.
My scenario is as following:
I have a main button, whenever I click it starts the game with preset settings (1). Also I have inner buttons, if I click it changes some of the settings of a game but does not start anything(2).
I would like to solve this issue with scripting fx. GUILayout.Button()
Any ideas?
I know you may not like this, but I'm going to encourage you to re-think your design to something a little more traditional. People accurately hit buttons about 95% of the time, which means about 1 out of 20 times someone will take an unintended action with this layout (as opposed to hitting a margin and doing nothing). Having a big start button above the three configure buttons will be a much more user-friendly design than a button-in-button design.
Thank you for the answer, it is true your approach is more user-friendly.
It is always the best to evaluate :)
You can disable GUI interaction with the Main-Button when the mouse is over any of the other buttons.
Here is an exemple:
void OnGUI(){
Event e = Event.current;
Rect r = new Rect (0,0,200,200); // play button rect
Rect s1 = new Rect (20,80,60,20); // setting 1 button rect
Rect s2 = new Rect (120,80,60,20); // setting 2 button rect
// check if mouse is over any of the settings buttons, if so disable the gui for the Play button
foreach (Rect rect in new Rect[]{s1,s2})
if (rect.Contains(e.mousePosition))
GUI.enabled = false;
if (GUI.Button (r,"Play")){
Debug.Log ("Play was Clicked");
}
GUI.enabled = true; // re-enabling the gui for the other buttons
if (GUI.Button (s1,"setting 1")){
Debug.Log ("setting 1 was Clicked");
}
if (GUI.Button (s2,"setting 2")){
Debug.Log ("setting 2 was Clicked");
}
}
Thank you but I'm developing a mobile game. Your solution works for the mouse interactions however I need something for touch..
this should work for any platform including mobile.
How would I hover on mobile? That was the reason I wrote below comment.
