Texture2d Array with Next Button

This appears to be a follow on to your previous question:

http://answers.unity3d.com/questions/553227/how-to-assign-multiple-popup-textures-to-game-obje.html

To display that many images, you don't want to use an array. The code I posted for that question that dynamically loads images from Resources is a good solution. I see reading that last question you asked a follow-up that I missed...probably because the question had already been marked as 'Answered'. Before you go further with your project, I'd like you to verify the code I posted. Try this:

• Start a new scene

• Create a Quad (Game Object > Create Other>Quad) at the origin..

• Resize the Quad to a reasonable size for a page.

• Create a material using Unlit/Texture for the shader and some graphic for the texture

• Put your pages in the Resources folder as indicated in the last question

• Add the script from my last question to the Quad

• Run the app

You should be able to click on the quad and move forward in the book. This is to verify that you have a setup that works to load pages. Once you have that working, I (or anyone else) can answer how to modify the script to use some buttons rather than a click on the object to move from page to page.

Thank you so much for your attention to this! I did what you said and it works. What I really want is for the pages to popup or magnify on the screen when you click on the quad (I think you know this already). Once we get the buttons to work and everything, is it possible to have this texture popup?

Unity Answers is about us helping you solve your own problem. Plus this is a school assignment. When I get back to my computer this evening, I'll give you an updated script that can be hooked up to buttons to go to the next and previous page. In the meantime you should work on getting buttons to display. The easiest way is to use he GUI system. There are many posts and lots of documentation. There are other, more flexible ways to create buttons, but they will involve more work in getting them to work with your page code. Figure out what you want do, then as a start just get them to execute Debug.Log() statements for 'Next' and 'Previous'.

As for causing your page to popup, this is not too difficult, but it is a new technical issue that should be asked as a new question. You need to research the issue and then be very explicit about the popup. Does it happen all at once or does it happen over time? What dismisses the popup? What kind of motion is involved...a simple translate or a translate and a rotation? You might experiment with Unity's Animations. Even if you solve your problem in code at the end, an animation that show what you are trying to accomplish is better than any written description.

Thanks! I'm experimenting with buttons now but, for my purposes, I'm prioritizing that under getting the pages to popup. I used the code from the answer on this page: http://answers.unity3d.com/questions/15438/trying-to-pick-up-and-see-paper-pop-up-gui-window.html --I want it to do exactly that--if you click on the book the first page should popup and then (using your buttons) you can go to the next one. The popup I have now is activated onmousedown and you can click on the page that pops up to dismiss it. Does that make sense?
