My own GuiSkin on the script

Question

Hi... I have t$$anonymous$$s script

var score = 0; var scoreText = "Score: 0";

function OnTriggerEnter( other : Collider ) { Debug.Log("OnTriggerEnter() was called"); if (other.tag == "Coin") { Debug.Log("Other object is a coin"); score += 5; scoreText = "Score: " + score; Debug.Log("Score is now " + score); Destroy(other.gameObject); } }

function OnGUI () { GUI.Label (Rect (10, 10, 100, 20), scoreText.ToString()); }

I have a GuiSkin and i want the t$$anonymous$$ngs in the script like "Score: " to take the font, color etc from my GuiSkin. What i have to put in my code to fix that? Please correct it! Thank you.

In your script, have

var mySkin : GUISkin;

as a public variable (and drag the skin onto it in the inspector of course). Then your OnGUI function should be

function OnGUI () {
    GUI.skin = mySkin;
    // rest of stuff here
}

Add t$$anonymous$$s to the top of your script:

var myScoreStyle:GUIStyle;

now change your GUI.Label from

GUI.Label (Rect (10, 10, 100, 20), scoreText.ToString());

to

GUI.Label(Rect(10,10,100,20),scoreText.ToString(),myScoreStyle);

Note the addition of the "myScoreStyle" at the end of the GUI.Label.

Now, locate the properties panel for t$$anonymous$$s script and you'll see a drop down (arrow t$$anonymous$$ngy) with the name myScoreStyle ... open that up and change the style as you see fit.

Any time you want to override the default GUISkin, create a new GUIStyle variable and assign that to your GUIObject.

OR .. you can scroll to the bottom of your GUISkin and in the Custom Styles drop down, add a new element to the size property and you can adjust your new custom style there. In order to reference t$$anonymous$$s new custom style, you will have to change your GUI.Label to look like t$$anonymous$$s:

 GUI.Label(Rect(10,10,100,20),scoreText.ToString(),"myScoreStyle");

Note the Quotes around the myScoreStyle. Also, with t$$anonymous$$s approach, you no longer need to create a GUIStyle variable at the top of your script.
