Dropdown selection list?

Anyone got one of these happening yet? Shaun? Bueller.. Bueller ?

 

Not sure exactly what kind of drop down, but this is what I was trying to do.

Not exactly the way I wanted it, trying to figure out how to not let the first GUI show after the bottom screen rolls down again to show the credit GUI.

See attached .mov

thats cool, but I am talking about an actual dropdown selection list like in a webpage.

I'm sure UT will eventually make one, but I am hoping to implement selection with a selection list before that may happen.

 

Yeh, I wrote a dropdown list ages ago, but I lost it. So, I made a new one just for you
It's a ugly as hell - but it works. Hope this helps.

Code (csharp):

1. using UnityEngine;
2. using System.Collections;
3. using System.Collections.Generic;
4.  
5. public class NewBehaviourScript : MonoBehaviour
6. {
7.     private Rect DropDownRect;
8.     private Vector2 ListScrollPos;
9.     private bool DropdownVisible;
10.     private int SelectedListItem;
11.     public class GuiListItem //The class that contains our list items
12.     {
13.         public bool Selected;
14.         public string Name;
15.         public GuiListItem(bool mSelected, string mName)
16.         {
17.             Selected = mSelected;
18.             Name = mName;
19.         }
20.         public GuiListItem(string mName)
21.         {
22.             Selected = false;
23.             Name = mName;
24.         }
25.         public void enable()
26.         {
27.             Selected = true;
28.         }
29.         public void disable()
30.         {
31.             Selected = false;
32.         }
33.     }
34.     private List<GuiListItem> MyListOfStuff; //Declare our list of stuff
35.     void Start()
36.     {
37.  
38.         DropDownRect = new Rect(100, 300, 160, 28);//We need to manually position our list, because the dropdown will appear over other controls
39.         DropdownVisible = false;
40.         SelectedListItem = -1;
41.         MyListOfStuff = new List<GuiListItem>(); //Initialize our list of stuff
42.         for (int i = 0; i < 32; i++)//Fill it with some stuff
43.         {
44.             MyListOfStuff.Add(new GuiListItem("Item Number" + i.ToString()));
45.         }
46.     }
47.  
48.     void OnGUI()
49.     {
50.         //Show the dropdown list if required (make sure any controls that should appear behind the list are before this block)
51.         if (DropdownVisible)
52.         {
53.             GUILayout.BeginArea(new Rect(DropDownRect.left, DropDownRect.top + DropDownRect.height, 160, 256), "", "box");
54.             ListScrollPos = GUILayout.BeginScrollView(ListScrollPos, false, true);
55.             GUILayout.BeginVertical(GUILayout.Width(120));
56.             for (int i = 0; i < MyListOfStuff.Count; i++)
57.             {
58.                     if (!MyListOfStuff[i].Selected  GUILayout.Button(MyListOfStuff[i].Name))
59.                     {
60.                         if (SelectedListItem != -1) MyListOfStuff[SelectedListItem].disable();//Turn off the previously selected item
61.                         SelectedListItem = i;//Set the index for our currrently selected item
62.                         MyListOfStuff[SelectedListItem].enable();//Turn on the item we clicked
63.                         DropdownVisible = false; //Hide the list
64.                     }
65.             }
66.             GUILayout.EndVertical();
67.             GUILayout.EndScrollView();
68.             GUILayout.EndArea();
69.         }
70.         //Draw the dropdown control
71.         GUILayout.BeginArea(DropDownRect, "", "box");
72.         GUILayout.BeginHorizontal();
73.         string SelectedItemCaption = (SelectedListItem == -1) ? "Select an item..." : MyListOfStuff[SelectedListItem].Name;
74.         string ButtonText = (DropdownVisible) ? "<<" : ">>";
75.         GUILayout.TextField(SelectedItemCaption);
76.         DropdownVisible = GUILayout.Toggle(DropdownVisible, ButtonText, "button", GUILayout.Width(32), GUILayout.Height(20));
77.         GUILayout.EndHorizontal();
78.         GUILayout.EndArea();
79.     }
80. }

 

Just whipped it up hey Shaun...? Man, you are a legend! Thanks muchly!

 

heh well yea, kind of - I wanted to try using a generics list with my own faux listitem class - my old dropdown was S***tily programmed

Ah - there's a couple of caveats; It won't respect GUILayout very well, and if the list goes outside of the GUI.Window, it will be clipped (which only matters if you use windows anyway). Also try it first with the default GUISkin - it will look normal. And, if you want to do MultiSelect (is that what its called?) - just turn of the code that disables the item and the condition for showing the button (lines 58 and 60)

 

Thanks Shaun... sounds ideal.. I really only want it at the moment so people can choose in game what country they are from from a list of options in a drop down... so this will work gr8!
