GUI Button Position - Can it float to the top-left?

Questions & Answers
1

Hello,

I'm still getting used to the Unity Scripting language. However, I'm learning pretty fast now. I started writing a script for an inventory in my game. It's working quite well. But as it is right now, the buttons for each item have their own position inside the inventory. I need to get it so the buttons position is some type of "float: left". Is this possible? I have them in a GUI Group (the inventory space) so it would work if they float to the top-left of this group.

Here's the current code for one of the item buttons:

if (logs > 0){
if (GUI.Button (Rect (75,0,75,75), logs + " Logs")) {
        var otherMakingFire : MakingFire = gameObject.GetComponent(MakingFire);
        otherMakingFire.MakeCampFire ();
    }
    }

What I need to get is changing

Rect (75,0,75,75)

to something similar to

Rect (top,left,75,75)

Thanks for any help!

in place of a pixel position you can use something like this :

var pos : Vector2;
Rect (Screen.width/pos.x,Screen.height/pos.y,75,75);

using this method it well always stay in the top left corner.

you just have to change the x and y of the pos var and it should make the gui position change

After more searching, I found this:

I haven't used it yet, but it seems to be the solution. So if anybody else was having this problem, read the link :)

Thanks to the 3dDude and spree for trying.
