tk2dButtons not working

[xecut]

I've set up a tk2dButton sprite, also I have setup the button down/up sprites.

But when I click on the sprite, there is no effect. the scale of the sprite is 675f, 675f, 675f. Pretty big.

Will that affect the sprite? if not, what did I do wrong?

I followed the steps from this tutorial http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Sp2VOlaOBMk

Do you have a collider on the sprite? Is the collider thickness intersecting the camera? Try a z scale of 0.1 to see if that changes anything.

Thank you for your help, after putting colliders on the sprite, changed collider depth to 0.2 (shouldn't matter), and scaled z to 0.1, it worked!

Hi,

I'm new to Unity and 2D toolkit, so I think this is a simple question. I'm trying to get a pressed button to trigger my new scene. What do I need to do?

Thanks 

[unikronsoftware]

What do you mean by "trigger my new scene"?

[mradebe_eti]

I want to have a button on my current scene open up a new scene when pressed.

1. Create a function in a behaviour somewhere. Attach it to a gameobject A.
void LoadMyNewLeveL() {
  Application.LoadLevel("levelname");
}

2. Create a UI manager, and drag the button prefab into the scene. http://unikronsoftware.com/2dtoolkit/doc/2.00/ui/getting_started.html
Click on the button, and drag gameObjet A into the "Send Message" target slot on the button.

3. Type LoadMyNewLevel into the OnClick event box.

That should be it.

[mradebe_eti]

Here is the function I created. I named it TestScene.cs (the same name as my current scene).

using UnityEngine;
using System.Collections;

public class TestScene : MonoBehaviour {
   
   void LoadMyNewLevel() {
      Application.LoadLevel("TestScene02");
      }
}

1. I attached this to GameObject A.

2. I created a UI Manager and dragged the button prefab onto my scene.

3. I clicked on the button and dragged GameObject A into the "Send Message" target slot on the button.

4. I typed LoadMyNewLevel into the On Clicked Method Name event box.

I tested it and it still does not work. Am I missing something?

[unikronsoftware]

Do you get any error in the console window when clicking on the button / starting the game? If you put a Debug.Log in LoadMyNewLevel, is it being called?

Is there a way to pass parameters through the function calls?

[unikronsoftware]

What kind of parameters? As of 2.1, the message sending will send a reference to self (i.e. tk2dUIItem sender) to the recepient of the button. You can't send arbitrary parameters though.

[fsadeq]

Yea, arbitrary parameters. Like if you just had some simple buttons that you wanted to pass an index through, e.g. LoadItem(int index);

I guess in this case you'd have to just code it differently and listen for the button events instead.

[unikronsoftware]

Yup. You could do all sorts of game speicifc things, eg. use the button's "tag" field / name to determine what to do.

[mradebe_eti]

I finallly got it to work. I forgot to set my build settings before. 

Thanks!!

I'm running 2.2.3, and have a question regarding the most basic of buttons. This is the first time I've really started using them and for some reason I can't get buttons to work if the tk2dUIItem script is attached to the main sprite. If I create an empty game object with just the tk2dUIItem and box collider, then add the sprites as children, it works. Any idea why? Really scratching my head here. So, basically:

Scenario 1 (doesn't work):

-GameObject (has the sprite button graphic, tk2dUIItem, Box Collider )
     -GameObject( has the text )

Scenario 2 (works):

-Gameobject (has tk2dUIItem, Box Collider )
     -GameObject (has the sprite button graphic)
     -GameObject( has the text )
