Hello,
I’m working on positioning my UI directly above the center of my character. While it looks fine when the character is at the center of the camera’s perspective, there’s an issue when I move to the far left or right of the camera’s perspective. I’ve attached two screenshots to help visualize the issue. Could someone help me address this problem? For additional context, target is set to the player’s transform, camera is the main camera, and the canvas is the scene’s canvas which is set to overlay.
Please also note that this script was quickly made so the naming and lack of use for some variables will be altered once I iron out this issue. Here’s the script:
using System.Collections;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using UnityEngine;
using UnityEngine.UI;
public class PlayerFloatingUI : MonoBehaviour
{
[Header("UI Settings")]
[SerializeField] private Vector3 offset;
[SerializeField] private Canvas canvas;
[SerializeField] private Camera cam;
[SerializeField] private Transform target;
[Header("UI Prefabs")]
[SerializeField] private Image xBtnPrefab;
[SerializeField] private Image xAtnPrefab;
private Image uiUse;
// Start is called before the first frame update
void Start()
{
uiUse = Instantiate(xBtnPrefab, canvas.transform).GetComponent<Image>();
}
// Update is called once per frame
void Update()
{
uiUse.transform.position = cam.WorldToScreenPoint(target.position + offset);
}
}
