GUI Labels Overlap
I am trying to have gui labels display various statistical elements. I seem to be missing something about changing the position of these, most of them are overlapping and their position will not change. And when I was changing the position on the first ones, I had to restart Unity to see some of the updates.
Here is the scripts (the important part anyway)
var labelPos1 : Rect = Rect(10,16,100,20);
var labelPos2 : Rect = Rect(10,32,100,40);
var labelPos3 : Rect = Rect(100,16,200,20);
var labelPos4 : Rect = Rect(100,32,200,40);
var labelPos5 : Rect = Rect(10,48,100,20);
var labelPos6 : Rect = Rect(10,64,100,40);
var labelPos7 : Rect = Rect(200,48,300,20);
var labelPos8 : Rect = Rect(200,64,300,40);
function OnGUI()
{
GUI.Label(labelPos1, "Strength:" + strength);
GUI.Label(labelPos2, "Dexterity:" + dexterity);
GUI.Label(labelPos3, "Health:" + healthCurrent);
GUI.Label(labelPos4, "Stamina:" + staminaCurrent);
GUI.Label(labelPos5, "S:" + strength);
GUI.Label(labelPos6, "D:" + dexterity);
GUI.Label(labelPos7, "H:" + healthCurrent);
GUI.Label(labelPos8, "S:" + staminaCurrent);
}
This code seems alright. Could you upload a screenshot ?
I figured it out literally 2 minutes after I posted the question.
The problem was for some reason I needed to make the variables private.
Not sure about the problem with them not changing position, since the function is fine. However, the overlapping is easily explained:
The rect is defined as (x,y,width,height). So if your first label is at y=16 and has a height of 20, its lower bounds extend to y=36. Since your label 2 starts at y=32 it's overlapping 4 pixels. Similar for the rest of your labels.
But unless he is using a skin, the label doesn't have a background so the overlapping would be visible only if the letters overlaps
Thats not the problem I was having. But i did need to know the exact details on what the x,y,width,height was so thank you very much for that! I did figure it out though. I needed the variables to be private for some reason... maybe something to do with pragma strict.
