Question by rsamrry · Jun 19, 2014 at 08:47 AM · buttonguitextureplacement

How do I place buttons on the screen using GUITexture?

Hi, I don't want to use guibuttons but guitextures to show buttons on my screen. I looked up guitextures in the manual am still confused about how to place and size them on the screen. I am particularly confused about the scale of the guitexture and the pixel insets. A detailed explanation would be highly appreciated. Thanks...

Try to play between 0 and 1 with the x, y, z of the position of the transform component of your GUITexture gameobject

Because your GUITexture is a GameObject with at least 2 components : Transform and GUITexture

Does it works for you ?

Thanks, that worked. Actually my guitexture was a child of another game object, so its coordinates were being influenced by the parent's coordinates. when i moved the guitexture up it solved my problem.

C#

This should help, play with the options in the "Inspector" menu

Code:

using UnityEngine; using System.Collections;

public class NewBehaviourScript : MonoBehaviour {

public GUIStyle Changing_Texture; public float OutlinedTextureY; public float OutlinedTextureX;

 void OnGUI(){

     if (GUI.Button (new Rect (Screen.width * OutlinedTextureX, Screen.height * OutlinedTextureY, Screen.width * .175f, Screen.height * .025f),"", Changing_Texture))
     {print("Changed");}
 }

}

Thank you but I don't want to use GUI.Button. I want to use GUI.Texture and want to be able to place these textures anywhere on the screen from my script.
