Is it possible to position a GameObject as relative to a GUI?
Hello again guys ^_^.
I would like to know if its possible someway to position a GameObject in the same position as a GUI (a GUI box for example)? And at the same time if it can scale/move as the GUI does?
To be more specific I'd like the Game Object to appear within the limits of the GUI Box and scale/position itself accordingly.
Keep in mind that the GUI Box that I've defined is already scaling/positioning itself according to the screen resolution/ aspect ratio.

First get the rect of the GUI element and its center using GUIElement.GetScreenRect() and Rect.center.
Transform the point from screen space into world space with Camera.ScreenToWorldPoint.
Then you could calculate a scale factor for x and z using Screen.width, Rect.width and Screen.height, Rect.height.
I'm currently attempting to put together the proper code. Once I get it I will let you know if it worked. I know that it's the proper method of making it work but I just have to figure out a couple of more variables. Thanks for the answer!
How can I use the GUIElement.GetScreenRect() function if I am using a Texture2D on my GUI Box? I've made up this code: "var r : Texture2D = AvatarBackground.GetScreenRect(); Debug.Log("AvatarBackground are" + r.width + "si inaltimea de" + r.height);"
Where AvatarBackground is defined at the beginning of the script as Texture2D. I've also tried the same code but with: var r : Rect =... and still to no avail. I keep on receiving the same error: $$anonymous$$issing$$anonymous$$ethodException: $$anonymous$$ethod not found: 'UnityEngine.Texture2D.GetScreenRect'.
GUIElements like GUITexture and GUIText are the "old" GUI system. If you use OnGUI and the GUI / GUILayout class, you have to use GUIUtility.GUIToScreenPoint and then you could use Camera.ScreenToWorldPoint to bring the coordinates into workspace.
