I have a UI Text object at the bottom in my Canvas hierarchy, as I want it to render on top of everything.
However, the UI Text object (MajorPrize) is rendered below it's parent (Blocks).
How does this make sense?
My settings are below:
My UI Text is behind the blocks where the red arrow is pointing:

I have my highscore, when it changes it moves to the left, but i need to move it to the right.
How i could achieve that?
Here is problem in imgur picture
I'm using canvas with TextMesPro Text and icon as image
TextMesPro
Put the text and the icon inside a HorizontalLayoutGroup and add a LayoutElement to both. Set the HorizontalLayoutGroup to control child height/width, child force expand width/height. Set the flexible width to the text (in the LayoutElement) to a very high value. Set the preferred size of the image to the size you want the icon to be. You might also want to add a little bit of spacing to the layout group.
In my game (Unity 2017.3.1f1) I'm using a ScrollView that's filled with buttons at runtime.
At 1080p:
And at 1440p:
The blue dots show the constraints of the Content, the whole thing (including the grey part below) makes up the Scroll View. No matter how big/small I make the Content, the border doesn't vanish at 1440p but is instead resized with the Content.
The width of the ScrollView is set through a surrounding panel
The buttons all use the same pefab (Inspector: click) - 1st image below
The buttons are arranged by a Vertical Layout Group on the Content (Inspector: click) - 2nd image below
As you can see in the last screenshot, the Vertical Layout Group is set to force expand the button's width and control its size, which isn't set anywhere else. I also don't set any padding/spacing in the Vertical Layout Group and yet there's an empty space between the two buttons.
I want it to look the same at 1080p and 1440p. What am I missing?
I don't get how you sort UI elements Z-index in Unity inside a Canvas, is it by hierarchy order ?
I'm trying to do a settings screen like in this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-qNo1jloR_k
It's quite simple, you click on the button and it set the whole panel as first sibling in the hierarchy.
But this is what I get:

Also, my gameplay panel had a red background, my graphics panel a green one, and my sound panel a yellow one.
I could avoid this problem by changing alpha on panels, but would like to make it work with z sorting... that I can't seem to understand on Unity.
Using unity 2017.1.2 and .NET 4.6 .
The child that is lower in the hierarchy is rendered on top of other ones.
Let's say there are 2 panels. panel1(red) and panel2(green).If the hierarchy is like this:
-panel1
-panel2
Then panel2 will be rendered on top of panel1. So, you'll see green panel.
Hope this answers your question.
Another suggestion, it is better to deactivate the unused panels and activate only the used panels. Because, if the unused panel is active, when it's not shown, it'll still take the processing power which is a waste. For example, if you have animation in the main menu, but currently you are showing the settings panel, your approach will keep the animations running in the main menu.
I began to work with Unity3D since one month and I'm trying to do an application which contains a menu, composed by a panel and several buttons. At this moment, I'm trying to customize the menu, I change the fill color of the panel and buttons, but until now I could not change the border color of the buttons. There is any way to customize the border's color of the UI buttons? I would appreciate your help. :)
The easiest way to add an outline to your button is to use the Outline component (doc).
Simply add the Outline component where your button image or text is. Then configure it how you like it :)
The above results in the following button:
No, you can not change just border color. If you use default buttons, take a look at Source image. It is basically a grey square with black borders. So when you change color of image black color remains black.
To customize buttons as you want you need either create nested UI elements:
or create sprites with colors you want and replace source image
I find nested UI elements to be the easiest way to do something like this. Simple example:
Start out by creating a panel and change the scale until you get the desired size for your button. This will be your "borders".
Next create another panel as a child of the panel you just made and change the scale to be just slightly smaller than your first panel and change the color.
In the Inspector for your panel, add component and type in Button and add it as a component.
Finally, add a text as a child of your panel for a label and you're done.
I am using unity 4.6 to develop a small game.
There is no gui text object in the menu. Therefore I created an empty object and added gui text as a component. But it does not display the text I type. Need help on this. Thank you
I think that 4.6 is when they introduced the new UI system so you can use that.It is actually pretty easy...from the drop down menu that you created the game object go to UI. There you can select from a number UI options one of witch is Text or UI Text if my memory serves me well. When you click it it will create a canvas object and UI Text object that is a child of the Canvas.From here just select the Text object and in the inspector you have a textbox which should serve your need :) Also the Canvas is your screen in the sense that if you drag your text to the top left corner of the Canvas(in the scene view) your text will be in the top left corner of the screen when you start your game(at least in the default settings). Hope that helps!
P.S. Also here is a link to the new UI article that the Unity guys have on their site: https://unity3d.com/learn/tutorials/modules/beginner/live-training-archive/the-new-ui
That happens sometimes. Delete the current gameobject and the guitext in the scene. Do what you did backwards.
Create a new guitext then create a new empty gameobject. Change the transform of the empty gameobject to 0,0,0 then drag the new gui text into the empty gameobject.
That should solve your problem.
The default text you should see if that went well is "New Text".
If you are editing the new text in the text area and it stopped showing, you will need to increase the width and sometimes the Height of the guiText. Don't use the scale tool as that will work but the graphics you get will be low quality text rendering on the screen.
