In-game UI

kektest

Hi everyone!

I have a question about UI
Mb somebody knows

How can I call prepared UI in the game? For example, i prepared several windows (inventory, hud etc) and need to draw these ui, depending on situation. And if it possible, how can i assign a button for calling? How can i change any button in the game?

I know, we have an example in neoaxis, but its only static hud, chosen in editor.

Hi, thanks for the question!

We are updating manual and making video tutorials. The example scene is already in SDK, but not in the manual.
Please check 'Samples\Starter Content\Scenes Test\ _TestSceneUI.scene' and _TestSceneUI_Screen.ui files. It is an example of GUI for the game screen.

Use 'UI Screen' property of the scene to assign GUI screen file.

Hello
Yes, I know about this example
But I need to change UI in game, I want to call UI window in game by pushing button.
Didn't find any method in neoaxis c# for this

Ok, great.
Please check an improved example. I made the C# script with the code. Now by click the UIWindow will created.

It is simple example. Better to make .cs file for your .ui file. Same way as it done for MenuWindow and other screens in the Base\UI\Screens. Read more: https://www.neoaxis.com/docs/html/Event_Handlers.htm#Add_handler_to_C.23_file
You can create UIWindow inside your screen UI file, but hide at start. When you need to show inventory, show it. All code will be in one screen UI file. But maybe better to have separate UI file for each window in your case.

That's really simple! It really makes development simpler and much faster, but why can't we use C++? I'm very good at C++, been programming in C and C++ for years, developing apps using wxWidgets and often SQLite. This would be my first game and while I was learning OGRE 3D for months, it's really tedious and the API feels like being almost infinite in size. I'm actually thinking of quitting learning it and moving to some other engine, but can't find any C++ anywhere that is making development simple as your engine does with similar license.
