Question by ashjack · Mar 30, 2014 at 04:12 PM · c#camerainstantiateguitexture

Instantiated GuiTextures not showing

I have a js script that spawns objects in a random x position in the sky, and spawns a GUITexture in the same location, but at ground level. When the player is facing the guitexture (It's a 2d game with 3d graphics, the camera cannot rotate) it doesn't show. However, when I manually drag the guitexture into view of the camera, it is clearly there. If you'd like to see any scripts, I will, but I don't see how the script is causing the problem.

GUITextures use viewport coordinates, which must be between 0 and 1. (For X and Y anyway; Z is used for sorting and can be anything.)

How would I make my script take this fact into account?

 using UnityEngine;
 using System.Collections;
 
 public class CoinSpawner : $$anonymous$$onoBehaviour {
     
     public bool spawn;
     public Vector3 pos;
     public Vector3 symbolpos;
     public float time;
     
     void Start()
     {
         
         spawn = true;
     }
 
     void Update()
     {
         time = time+0.1f;
         
         if(time >= 30&&spawn == true)
         {
             time = 0;
             pos = new Vector3(Random.Range(-45.0f, 45.0f), 50, 0);
             symbolpos = new Vector3(pos.x, 0.9255f, 0);
             GameObject go = Instantiate((Resources.Load("coin")), pos, Quaternion.identity) as GameObject; 
             GameObject coinSymbol = Instantiate((Resources.Load("coinSymbol")),symbolpos, Quaternion.identity) as GameObject; 
             Destroy (go, 5.0f);
             Destroy (coinSymbol, 3.0f);
             
         }
         
         
     }
 }

Probably convert world space to viewport space, using WorldToViewportPoint.

I've updated my code, but I still can't seem to get it working

 using UnityEngine;
 using System.Collections;
 
 public class CoinSpawner : $$anonymous$$onoBehaviour {
     
     public bool spawn;
     public Vector3 pos;
     public Vector3 symbolpos;
     public float time;
     public Vector3 viewPos;
     private Vector3 screenPos;
     
     void Start()
     {
         
         spawn = true;
     }
 
     void Update()
     {
         
         time = time+0.1f;
         
         if(time >= 30&&spawn == true)
         {
             time = 0;
             pos = new Vector3(Random.Range(-45.0f, 45.0f), 50, 0);
             symbolpos = new Vector3(pos.x, 0.9255f, 0);
             screenPos = Camera.main.WorldToScreenPoint(symbolpos);
             screenPos.y = Screen.height - screenPos.y;
             
             GameObject go = Instantiate((Resources.Load("coin")), pos, Quaternion.identity) as GameObject; 
             GameObject coinSymbol = Instantiate((Resources.Load("coinSymbol")),symbolpos, Quaternion.identity) as GameObject; 
             Destroy (go, 5.0f);
             Destroy (coinSymbol, 3.0f);
             
         }
         
         
     }
 }
