Centered text problem on Scroll Rect (Building a chat)

Unity Engine
1

Hello guys!

I’m on the way to establish a chat prototype. I would like to work as much as possible with Unity’s new UI instead of scripting too much.

This is my current setup:

The GameObject ScrollView has a Scroll Rect Component attached to it. The child ChatText is referenced to this component.

My problem now concerns the which is always centered. And as soon as more text is added the rect transform of Chat text grows in both directions of Y. I would like to create a chat which starts at the bottom and grows upwards, just like the kind of chat which is used for games like Warcraft3, Dota2 and CounterStrike.

The ScrollView GameObject owns an image and a mask component as well.

Thanks in advance for any replies!

At the end I’d consider to make a tutorial with network functionality.

I’m basically seeking for a nice solution to set this up.

Change scrollrect’s (or content’s of scrollrect [can’t remember which one was it]) pivot to 0 on vertical axis.

void Start ()
{
RectTransform rectTransform = GetComponent();
rectTransform.pivot = new Vector2(transform.pivot.x, 0);
}

Applying this snippet on the GameObject ChatText helped! Thanks
