Advanced Scripting Features
Hi everyone,
I am working on a project and I have a couple of scripts with variables that need often change for tweaking purposes. My question is this: how do I go about and display on screen the variables in a GUI? Where do I have to look for that, I am not sure how to search for this in documentation (hence this long question); On the same scripts in the Inspector tab I want to display images instead of text; This is just to replace a long list of items and make it nice for the developer. That coped with what's visible on screen I am hoping to create a nice education way of presenting various script setups.
Thanks!
Not a very good title, make it as descriptive as possible
To be able to display values in the game GUI and be able to change them is not very hard, here's an example (not tested)
public float myVariable = 5; public bool myOtherVariable = false;
public void OnGUI () { myVariable = GUILayout.HorizontalSlider (myVariable,0,100); myOtherVariable = GUILayout.Toggle (myOtherVariable); }
This will display the values on screen. There is no good way to display numbers-only fields in the game gui though, so I used a slider in the example instead.
To display stuff in the editor is a bit more tricky (or at least not as common or well documented) But you can read on here to get started. Extending The Editor - Unity Reference Manual
Hope it will help you get started.
this is another example on how to display a variable.
Using UnityEngine
Using System.Collections
public class exampleScript : MonoBehavior
{
public float myVariable = 5;
public void OnGUI () { GUILayout.Label((int)myVariable)
}
}
what (int) does is typecasts myVariable to an integer, in other words it just drops the decimal point and doesn't round. I find type casting comes in handy when you need a float and integers wont work or visa versa.
That is not how you cast, angle brackets are for generics. To remove decimal places you shouldn't cast anyway, ins$$anonymous$$d use $$anonymous$$athf.FloorToInt. Also you should format your code.
thank you i meant to put parenthesis, its all edited now.
