Make GUILayout horizontal first, then vertical? (C#)
By that I mean fill it's horizontal first, then it's vertical? I did a google search and found nothing, so I figured it would also be nice to be able to find it via google.
For instance I have this code, but it makes the items start filling vertically not horizontally.
void OnGUI()
{
if(inventoryOpen)
{
int tempinv = 0;
GUILayout.BeginArea (new Rect(40, 40, 500, 500));
GUILayout.Box ("Weapons");
foreach(GameObject items in inventory)
{
if(GUILayout.Button ( new GUIContent(items.GetComponent<Item>().itemname, items.GetComponent<Item>().itemname + "\n" + items.GetComponent<Item>().currentWepType + "\n" + items.GetComponent<Item>().dmg + " dmg\n" + items.GetComponent<Item>().aspd + " seconds per attack"), GUILayout.Width (50), GUILayout.Height (50)))
{
Debug.Log ("Equipping " + items.name);
if(hasCloned)
{
Destroy (clone1);
}
tempinv++;
toUpdate = true;
hasCloned = true;
if(toUpdate)
{
clone1 = Instantiate(items, WepHolder.transform.position, WepHolder.transform.rotation) as GameObject;
clone1.transform.parent = GameObject.Find ("Main Camera").transform;
clone1.SetActive (true);
Debug.Log ("You are now using: " + items.name);
clone1.tag = "weaponEquipped";
toUpdate = false;
}
}
}
if(GUI.tooltip != null)
{
GUILayout.Box (new GUIContent(GUI.tooltip), GUILayout.Height(67));
GUI.tooltip = null;
}
GUILayout.EndArea ();
}
well, I figured out also that I don't have any max width or height, yikes!
Edit: I don't get it, isn't GUILayout supposed to autmatically make sure it doesn't go out of it's own bounds? it's not doing so.
Are you looking for GUILayout.BeginHorizontal and GUILayout.BeginVertical?
You can nest these to provide the effect you desire.
GUILayout.BeginHorizontal();
GUILayout.BeginVertical();
//stuff
GUILayout.EndVertical();
GUILayout.BeginVertical(); //Instead of hardcoding it, you can use a for() loop to get multiple columns.
//stuff
GUILayout.EndVertical();
GUILayout.EndHorizontal(); //Remember to end each one!
Look here for more information.
The trick is to build the bigger area first. So make a wide space with a Horizontal, and then make several Verticals inside it. The verticals will "stack" horizontally (since they're in a Horizontal). It's tricky to get used to but once you do it's pretty slick.
GUILayout.BeginHorizontal(); {
GUILayout.BeginVertical(GUILayout.ExpandWidth(true)); {
GUILayout.Label("Stacked 1");
GUILayout.Label("Stacked 2");
} GUILayout.EndVertical();
GUILayout.BeginVertical("box", GUILayout.Width(200)); {
GUILayout.Label("Squished 1");
GUILayout.Label("Squished 2");
} GUILayout.EndVertical();
} GUILayout.EndHorizontal();

Yes, I looked at the docs. I just can't really understand the GUI docs at all for some reason. Normal coding? no big deal.
Don't forget to use EndVertical and EndHorizontal as well.
I tried this code, and when I put it in, it still went vertical only, no horizontal.
@Loius You forgot to add EndHorizontal and EndVertical :)
I still haven't found one that seems to work the right way. I also can't figure out how to get it to after 6 or so, go onto another. I had that tempinv variable, and I had an if saying if(tempinv > 5) and then to make a new thingy, and put up a debug message, but it didn't even get to the debug.
@Dothackking Old question, but helped me answer itself. You use nested
andEditorGUILayout.BeginHorizontal();
functions, and a modulo (%) to set the number of columns. This example is for making a Texture2DArray, so it uses an integer to set the number of textures, and gives you a field of texture slots matching that integer:EditorGUILayout.BeginVertical();
int arraySize = 2; //Starting size of 2 images, can be adjusted by GUI field
int arraySizeCheck; //Prevents the array from updating every frame and emptying
Texture2D[] inputTextures; //Texture slots will automatically appear, disappear, and stack to match arraySize
int arrayFieldWidth //This doesn't need to be its own value, I just use 4, this just shows the sorting math
void OnGUI () {
arraySize = EditorGUILayout.IntField ("Number of textures:", Mathf.Clamp(arraySize, 1, 36));
if (arraySizeCheck != arraySize) {
inputTextures = new Texture2D[arraySize];
arraySizeCheck = arraySize;
}
//Get the window width so the array fits no matter the size
EditorGUILayout.BeginVertical (GUILayout.MaxWidth (position.width));
for (int i = 0; i < arraySize; i++) {
if (i % arrayFieldWidth == 0)
EditorGUILayout.BeginHorizontal ();
inputTextures[i] = (Texture2D)EditorGUILayout.ObjectField ("Texture " + (i).ToString(), inputTextures[i], typeof(Texture2D), false);
if (i != 0 && i % arrayFieldWidth == (arrayFieldWidth-1))
EditorGUILayout.EndHorizontal ();
}
EditorGUILayout.EndVertical ();
}
