Tile and offset a Texture2D?
I have a sprite sheet with a bunch of different items I want to use similar to minecraft's. I need to tile and offset my sprite sheet so I can get each one of these items in the texture. The problem is that I need to do this for a Texture2D but I don't think that's possible because you can't tile or offset a texture represented as a Texture2D. So my question is how do I get around this problem, how do I tile and offset a texture that can be applied to a GUI for a HUD?
Thanks.
It is not possible to do either tiling or subtexturing (picking a region out of a larger texture) using UnityGUI. If you really need this, consider using a 3rd party GUI system, or make your own using textured quads aligned to a camera. Then you will be able to access either the material (as suggested in IllogicalIronical's answer) or the UVs of the quad in order to do subtexturing.
I know how. I have this code that might come in handy:
var texture : Texture2D;
var scaleX : float = 1.0;
var scaleY : float = 1.0;
var offsetX : float = 0;
var offsetY : float = 0;
function Start() {
// Create a new texture and assign it to the renderer's material
renderer.material.mainTexture = texture;
//Set the texture to the indicated offset
renderer.material.mainTextureOffset = Vector2 (offsetX, offsetY);
//Change the scale of the texture
renderer.material.mainTextureScale = Vector2 (scaleX,scaleY);
}
I hope it helps you as well as it helped me out :D
No that's not what I'm looking for I need to tile a texture2D, not a material.
