I'm looking for a simple way to reset my GUI style after it has been manipulated by a mousedown event

Hi there,

This is my first attempt at programming a Unity application, so I am lumbering around a little bit like a blind giant. I’m sure it is a very simple answer, and that I am approaching it incorrectly, but I have objects in a room, that when they are clicked on start a GUI that gives more information on the object. Some of the objects have two pages of info, so I have a GUI button that is pressed to get to the second page. WhenMy current code is fine for changing the GUI Style background, but when I exit the info screen, and click on the object again, it is stuck on the second page of info and I can’t seem to code it to reset the GUI Style on the start of the infomation.

As I have already found a lot of great info on these pages, I was wondering whether somebody may be able to help me.

I will post my code, please no sniggering.

Thanks,

Tom

var aTexture : GUIStyle;
var CustomSkin1 : GUIStyle;
var CustomSkin2 : GUIStyle;
var CustomSkin3 : GUIStyle;
var CustomSkin4 : GUIStyle;
var CustomSkin5 : GUIStyle;
var loadLevel : String = "Level1";
var openGUI : boolean = false;
var Ceiling : GameObject;



function OnMouseDown(){

openGUI = true;
CustomSkin1.fixedWidth = Screen.width;
CustomSkin1.fixedHeight = Screen.height;
Ceiling.active = true;
GUI.skin = null;



}

function OnGUI () {

if(openGUI)
{
// Make a background box
	GUI.depth = 0;
	GUI.Box (Rect (0,0,Screen.width,Screen.height), "", CustomSkin1);
	
	if (GUI.Button (Rect (Screen.width * 0.92,Screen.height * 0.0001,50,50),"", CustomSkin2)) {
		openGUI = false;
		Debug.Log("Clicked Off");
	}
	if (GUI.Button (Rect (Screen.width * 0.92,Screen.height/10,50,50),"", CustomSkin3)) {
	
	Debug.Log("Clicked Arrow");
	
	CustomSkin1 = CustomSkin4;
	
	//GUI.skin.box = CustomSkin4;
	
	}
	
	
}
else openGUI = false;

}

It’s probably not in here, it’s probably in your custom skin script. Those objects are not recreated each time you show them, so even when it’s not showing on screen, it’s still on page 2. When you show it on screen again, it’s not a new object, it’s the same one that’s still on page 2. So it’s hard to say without looking at those scripts but it’s probably just as simple as resetting the page number or going back to the beginning, at the same time that you’re populating the GUI with the object specific information.
