Show a GUI SKIN on click

Unity Engine
1

Hi,

Here is what I’m looking for :

I have a button in my scene and when I click on the button I would like to show a GUI skin.

Here is the code I have :

var fadeTime= 2.0;
private var guiAlpha : float; 
private var fadeIn=false;
var icon: Texture2D;
var posHoriz: int=100;
var posVert: int=100;
var scaleHoriz: int=512;
var scaleVert: int=256;
@script ExecuteInEditMode


function OnGUI () { 
   if (GUILayout.Button("Open Image")) { 
   	if(fadeIn==true){
   	GUIFade(1, 0, fadeTime);
   	fadeIn=false;
   	Debug.Log("yes");
   	return;
   	}
   	else if(fadeIn==false){
   	GUIFade(0, 1, fadeTime);
   	fadeIn=true;
   	return;
   	} 
   }
 
   GUI.color.a = guiAlpha; 
   GUI.Button (Rect (posHoriz,posVert, scaleHoriz, scaleVert), icon); 
}

function GUIFade (start : float, end : float, length : float) { 
   for (i = 0.0; i <= 1.0; i += Time.deltaTime*(1/length)) { 
      guiAlpha = Mathf.Lerp(start, end, i); 
      yield; 
   } 
   guiAlpha = end; 
}

This code works fine to show a 2D Texture.

Now I need to show a GUI, but I’m lost … :frowning:

For information, my GUISKIN’s name is : “MetalGUISkin”

Does someone can help me ?

var newSkin : GUISkin;

function OnGUI ()
{
GUI.skin = newSkin;
GUI.Button (Rect (50, 50, 100, 50), “Hello World”);
}

Well this is the basic’s if you need to set a GUISkin, This will make in on to the GUI.Button

I have put your code but it doesn’t works.

When I click on the button : “Open Image” the skin is not visible.

When I play my project, the button with “Hello world” is visible by default. That’s not what I’m looking for.

As a Suggestion , make your GuiSkin as a 3D object/button, then use iTween to bring it in. So on your “Open Image” Button you attach a simple iTween 1 line script to it, it then calls your 3d object button and wallah. This may or may not help but i know that the “OnGui” situation can be a pain, and it doesn’t work every time.

Hope this helps.
