Questions about GUI?
So I am trying to create a GUI for when the player dies (Losing health, falling off the map, etc.). Here is my code:
function OnDeath() { // Lose Health on Death health--;
// Reload entire level if (health != 0) { Spawn(); } else if (health == 0) { Destroy(gameObject); print("You have died."); } // Lose Score on Death new MessageScorePoints(-dieLosePoints);
}
So you can see that if "health != 0", the player spawns. But if "health == 0", I would like a Box to show up that has 3 options: "Start from Last Checkpoint", "Exit to Menu", and "Exit Game". How would I do this? I tried using OnGUI but that seems it is always on the screen and can't just call/uncall it as I wish?
PS - Yes, I am quite new to Unity's API. Been working with the editor for awhile, but just recently got into the actual scripting of it. Only JavaScript, though.
for do that kind of things you must use labels, buttons,textfield, and many others, to see more about it go to this page: http://unity3d.com/support/documentation/ScriptReference/GUI.html here you can find several ways to do what you want.
function OnGUI(){
if(health == 0){
//put your labels, buttons, textfield, etc..
}
}
this will make that it only appears when you variable health is 0 if is not 0 will disappear.
Sorry, I must not have made myself that clear. I tried using "function OnGUI()", but it seems that there is no way to actually make that appear/disappear when I want? For example, only for the box/buttons to appear when "health == 0".
have you try to put something like: function OnGUI(){if(health == 0){/put your GUIs here/}}
that may work because I actually do it sometimes and it works.
Oh I see what I did wrong. In the OnDeath function, when the "health == 0", I called "Destroy(gameObject);", which I guess destroys the entire gameObject, thus having no "OnGUI" to run. So I simply commented that out and the GUI started to work. Thank you Uriel :)
