Why does this GUITexture spawn so far outside screen?

Questions & Answers

I followed CGCookie’s Achievement System and trying to use it for a notification system.
The problem is the script is spawning the GUITexture, 1100 ish width and 1100 height ish, instead of righto utside the screen so it can slide in. Can anyone see what might be causing this here?

var playerSpawnedTex : Texture;

private var playerJustSpawned : boolean;
private var edgeMargin;

function Start() {
   edgeMargin = Screen.width * .01;
   

}

function playerSpawned() {

if(!playerJustSpawned) {
unlockNotification(playerSpawnedTex);
playerJustSpawned = true;
}
}
 

function unlockNotification(notificationTex : Texture) {
var go : GameObject = new GameObject("Notification Object");
go.transform.position = Vector3(0,0,0);
go.transform.localScale = Vector3(0,0,0);
var guitex : GUITexture = go.AddComponent(GUITexture);
guitex.texture = notificationTex;
guitex.pixelInset.width = notificationTex.width;
guitex.pixelInset.height = notificationTex.height;
guitex.pixelInset.x = Screen.width * 1.1;//Screen.width - notificationTex.width - edgeMargin;
guitex.pixelInset.y = Screen.width - notificationTex.height - edgeMargin;
var notificationScript : NotificationScript = go.AddComponent(NotificationScript);
notificationScript.edgeMargin = edgeMargin;


}

Or perhaps anyone have the exact script he wrote? Thanks in advance, I cant seem to fix this myself.

This script does not compile under #pragma strict. In order to fix, change line 4 to:

private var edgeMargin : float;

As for your issue, I’m guessing it is line 30. You are calculating the pixelInset.y based on Screen.width instead of Screen.height;
