GUI Skin not included when built
Hey everyone, I have recently been building my game to give to other people for testing, and I have a script that has a GUI Skin that is passed in through the editor and used for a menu. When I build the project and play it the GUI Skin is not applied to the menu like it is inside Unity. Anyone got some ideas?
Unity only includes assets (likes skins for instance) that are referenced in a scene when your a creating a build. In order to tell Unity that you want certain assets to be included because you are planning on loading those at runtime, they must be contained in a folder named Resources.
http://docs.unity3d.com/Manual/LoadingResourcesatRuntime.html
Seems very strange that they do that for only certain things like this GUI Skin, but thank you because it worked. Also to sum up the changes for anyone reading: Put the GUI skin in a folder you make called Resources, then use something like the following in your code: skin = Resources.Load("Selection GUISkin");
