In Game Shop

Question

Hi guys,thanks for looking into this question

I have a problem for an shop i am trying to make for my game.I am using a public List (in editor) to add the cost and stuff.

 public class Buyable
     {
         public string name;
         public Texture2D CharTexture;
         public int Cost;
             public bool Unlocked;
     }

My problem now is how do i use this to create this alt text

with this script

  if (GUI.Button (new Rect (10,10, 100, 50), icon)) {
             print ("you clicked the icon");
         }
     
         if (GUI.Button (new Rect (10,70, 100, 20), "This is text")) {
             print ("you clicked the text button");
         }

like use the (texture 2d) in list to show the texture on the icon and (Name) in list to show the name.

I need to put up a new icon and name for every new element i put in the editor list.I tried to do this my self but i have no idea how to start this and i googled it but no hope.

I tried to explain as detailed as i can.I hope u guys will understand it.Thanks

It actually becomes really easy to add textures to buttons when you stop using strings and start using GUIContent to label your GUI:

http://docs.unity3d.com/ScriptReference/GUIContent-ctor.html

Now, we're interested in the GUI.Button overload that takes a GUIContent:

http://docs.unity3d.com/ScriptReference/GUI.Button.html

For example:

 public static void DrawCharGUI(Rect position, Buyable buyable)
 {
     GUIContent iconButtonLabel = new GUIContent(buyable.CharTexture, "Some Tooltip");
     GUIContent textButtonLabel = new GUIContent(buyable.name, "Another Tooltip");
 
     GUILayout.BeginArea(position);
     
     if (GUILayout.Button(iconButtonLabel))
         print ("you clicked the icon");
  
     if (GUILayout.Button(textButtonLabel))
         print ("you clicked the text button");
 
     GUILayout.EndArea();
 }

@Albert-Han, the method @VesucianPrime provided you could do what you want, but the calling method would have to iterate over your collection(List of type Buyable), other than that, you should give them some upvotes.

I think you might want to start with the Unity documentation:

GUI Basics Tutorial

GUI.Button reference

I'm sorry for only providing links, but I think writing code for you or extensively explaining how the GUI system works wouldn't really help you. (also since there already are good tutorials)
