GetLastRect, how to know?

Why the code below prints (a.k.a. gets) different values even though the vertical area has a constant size and position:

Code (csharp):

1. Rect lastRect = new Rect(); // :P
2. Event e = Event.current;
3. //...
4. GUILayout.EndVertical();
5. if(e.type == EventType.Repaint) lastRect = GUILayoutUtility.GetLastRect();
6. Debug.Log(lastRect);
7. //...

How do I use GetLastRect properly?

 

GetLastRect return the rectangle last used by GUILayout for a control. Not your "Rect" instance.
See the example here: https://docs.unity3d.com/ScriptReference/GUILayoutUtility.GetLastRect.html - it return the button's rect.

 

I think you didn't read my code very well, I'm just declaring the "lastRect" Rect so I can use the values retrieved from GetLastRect in later instructions.

Yes, I read this a thousand times but still, using get last rect after EndVertical still returns inconsistent/wrong values.

Thanks for replying.

 

Just write your full example, about the "rect" that you want to get, and show how it's wrong. Your code does not show anything about that, so no one can understand

 

My code is quite big. My question is about the line 5 in the snippet I posted above.
I'm calling GetLastRect() right after a GUILayout.EndVertical(), which supposedly gets the rect of the Vertical group, but sometimes it gets a totally wrong value.

 

did you try moving

Code (csharp):

1.  
2. Rect lastRect =newRect(); // :P
3.  

outside of the OnGUI()... globally?

 

Dude, you nailed, the only thing I also did was declaring one rect for each use case instead of declaring only one and reusing it!! Thanks a lot!
