New UI Manager vs Old Way
« on: January 20, 2014, 10:50:41 pm »
Hi,

I was wondering what advantages/features the relatively new UI manager has over the "old" way of doing UI (like the tk2dButton class), namely the demo scene "6 - button and 3d sprites". Can I still use the Control Prefabs for the UI manager using the "old" method?

Thanks.

The UI Manager is far more efficient for multiple elements. It does one raycast for all elements - making it possible to create much more complex UI interactions.

Thanks, I think I'll go ahead and learn the new UI system then!
