Question by Wentzel · Jun 30, 2012 at 04:53 PM · javascriptdisplaysimplegui.boxpositions

Display Object Positions in Gui Box

Hi, so long time since i went near coding. I'm just trying to make a simple GUI box that display the vectors of my object.

 function Start()
   var xPosition : float;
   var yPosition : float;
   var zPosition : float;
  }
 
 function Update () {  
   xPosition = transform.position.x;
   yPosition = transform.position.y;
   zPosition = transform.position.z;  
   }
 
 function OnGUI(){
   GUI.Box(Rect(5,5,240,300)"X : " xPosition " \n Y : " yPosition "\n Z : " zPosition);
   }






The \n is for starting on a new line. So anyone got an idea what could be the problem ?

You have the formatting of that string a bit awry - the fastest way to get you want is just to use this:

  function OnGUI(){
         GUI.Box(Rect(5,5,200,30), transform.position.ToString());
   }

Your existing format string needs a comma before it then:

    "X : " + xPosition.ToString() + "\nY : " + yPosition.ToString() + "\nZ: " + zPosition.ToString()

To position it to the left do this:

  var myStyle = new GUIStyle("box");
   myStyle.alignment = TextAnchor.upperLeft;
   GUI.Box(Rect(5,5,200,200), "your string", myStyle);

You can work out the frame rate in update by using this

var xPosition : float; var yPosition : float; var zPosition : float;

function Update () {
xPosition = transform.position.x; yPosition = transform.position.y; zPosition = transform.position.z;
}

var myStyle = new GUIStyle("box"); myStyle.alignment = TextAnchor.upperLeft; myStyle.color = Color.White;

function OnGUI(){ GUI.Box(Rect(5,5,200,200), "X : " + xPosition.ToString() + "\nY : " + yPosition.ToString() + "\nZ : " + zPosition.ToString() + "\nFPS : " + FramesPerSecond.framesPerSecond , myStyle);
GUI.Box(Rect(0,0,200,200), "" );
}

So i'm just trying to add a white color to the GUI, when it's under the OnGUI function the Gui box just dissappears ?

Appreciate the help.
