Questions & Answers

Hi! I just want to ask if is it possible to disable camera control when a GUI is active? If so, how? Thanks in advance!

I have this code below.

`

var toggleGUI : boolean;
var page: float;
var asd: String = "";
var mov: String = "";
var oimg: Texture;
var nimg: Texture;
var scrollPosition : Vector2;
 
function OnMouseDown () {
toggleGUI = true;
}
 
function OnGUI (){
 if (toggleGUI) {
GUI.Box(new Rect(50,50,Screen.width/2+250,Screen.height/2+200), "Choose one");
if(GUI.Button(new Rect(51,70,120,50), "Text Information")){
page = 1;
}
if(GUI.Button(new Rect(180,70, 100, 50), "Video")){
page = 2;
}
if(GUI.Button(new Rect(290,70, 100, 50), "Images")){
page = 3;
}
if(GUI.Button(new Rect(Screen.width/2+200,70,100,50), "X")){
page=0;
toggleGUI=false;
}
if(page == 1){
 scrollPosition = GUI.BeginScrollView (Rect(60,150,625,300),
        scrollPosition, Rect (60, 150, 605, Screen.height+200));
GUI.TextArea(new Rect(60, 150, 605, Screen.height+200), asd);
GUI.EndScrollView();
}
if(page == 2){
if(GUI.Button(new Rect(60,150,100,40), "Play Movie")){
Handheld.PlayFullScreenMovie (mov, Color.black, FullScreenMovieControlMode.CancelOnInput);
}
}
if(page == 3){
if(GUI.Button(new Rect(60,150,100,40), "Old Image")){
page = 3.1;
}
if(GUI.Button(new Rect(180,150,100,40), "New Image")){
page = 3.2;
}
}
if(page==3.1){
GUI.Label(new Rect(60,150,Screen.width/2+200,Screen.width/8+200), oimg);
}
if(page==3.2){
GUI.Label(new Rect(60,150,Screen.width/2+200,Screen.width/8+200), nimg);
}
}
}
`

The problem is that whenever the user interacts with the scrollbar, the map beneath it also moves. What should I do?

um just set a boolean value to false while you are drawing your gui elements and have your camera controls not update unless that value is true

Assuming the camera controls are implemented using a script, give the script that controls the GUI a reference to the camera script and set the latter’s enabled variable (see this page) to false when the GUI first becomes active and set it back to true when the GUI becomes inactive again.
