Hello, the idea is:
The game should display a list of links (text + button on which the link script hangs). It should be possible to change these links with the text after the publication.
That is, store the text + link in json or xml on the server and that would build them up when loading …
The question is, which method is the best / easier to implement? I will be grateful for the tip in the direction of what to watch.
Make a prefab , instantiate at run time for all the links you have and use onClick.AddListener with the parameter of link u want to open.
you can check it on https://docs.unity3d.com/ScriptReference/UI.Button-onClick.html
this might be helpful for you:
foreach (var item in links) {
GameObject newlink = GameObject.Instantiate (linkPrefab)as GameObject;
newlink.GetComponent<Button> ().onClick.AddListener (()=>OnClickDenomination (yourLink));
}
The difficulty is that at the time of the build I have no references. I need to build build links and text that I can change without making a new build … What option is there to take this list of references remotely?
I’m having the exactly same problem, did you solve it? Thanks.
I’m using firebaseDB to list all the links and name and more information, maybe this can help:
FirebaseApp app = FirebaseApp.DefaultInstance;
app.SetEditorDatabaseUrl("https://passportibiza-211918-82da1.firebaseio.com/");
Debug.Log("Firebase DB Found");
FirebaseDatabase.DefaultInstance
.GetReference("merchants")
//.StartAt(0)
.OrderByValue()
.ValueChanged += (object sender2, ValueChangedEventArgs e2) =>
{
if (e2.DatabaseError != null)
{
Debug.LogError(e2.DatabaseError.Message);
}
if (e2.Snapshot != null && e2.Snapshot.ChildrenCount > 0)
{
foreach (var childSnapshot in e2.Snapshot.Children)
{
//Population the var with data from DB
Debug.Log("Gathering Data");
var address = childSnapshot.Child("address").Value.ToString();
var cat = childSnapshot.Child("category").Value.ToString();
//var incorp = childSnapshot.Child("incorporation").Value.ToString();
var phone = childSnapshot.Child("phone").Value.ToString();
var nameM = childSnapshot.Child("venue").Value.ToString();
//var link = childSnapshot.Child("weblink").Value.ToString();
List<string> link = new List<string>() { childSnapshot.Child("weblink").Value.ToString() };
for (int i = 0; i < link.Count; i++)
{
Debug.Log("Lin URL array: " + link*);*
weblink(link*);*
++i;
break;
}
// Assigning UI elements and populating data from VARs
addressField.text = address;
catField.text = cat;
phoneFIeld.text = phone;
nameField.text = nameM;
//Instantiating the UI elements based on DB entries
uxPrefab.SetActive(true);
GameObject merchants = Instantiate(uxPrefab, new Vector3(0, 0, 0), Quaternion.identity) as GameObject;
merchants.transform.parent = GameObject.FindWithTag(“content”).transform;
merchants.name = nameM;
}
}
