GUI Scale Problem

Question

Hi guys, I'm having a problem with the placement of text done with code, when the resolution increases, The text is not positioned in the right place, he is in the same place of the previous resolution. Here the my script:

var MaxHealth : int = 100;

var CurrentHeath : int;

 var styleHealth : GUIStyle;

function Start () {

CurrentHeath = MaxHealth;

}

function ApplyDamage ( Damage : float ) {

if( CurrentHeath < 0){

return;

}

CurrentHeath -= Damage;

if( CurrentHeath == 0 ){

Destroy( gameObject);

}

function OnGUI (){

 GUI.Box(Rect(Screen.width - 200 ,Screen.height-55,100,20),"" + CurrentHeath, styleHealth);

}

Thanks.

Here is the basic approach we use to scale our GUI:

 var optimalHeight : int   =  1200;
 
 var welcomeRect   : Rect  =  Rect(200, 200, 400, 300);
 
 function getScale () : float
 {
     return Screen.height / optimalHeight;
 }
 
 function OnGUI ()
 {
     var scaledRect = scaleRectangle(welcomeRect);
 
     GUI.Label(scaledRect, "I am a scaled Label);    
 }
 
 function scaleRectangle ( someRect : Rect ) : Rect
 {
     var theScale : float = getScale();
 
     var theX : float = theScale * someRect.x;
     var theY : float = theScale * someRect.y;
     var theW : float = theScale * someRect.width;
     var theH : float = theScale * someRect.height;
 
     return Rect(theX, theY, theW, theH);
 }

The above code bases the scale entirely on the screen height, but it should be pretty obvious how to incorporate height and width.

It's not supposed to be something you add to your project. It's a demonstration of a way to approach scaling your GUI.
