    Hello.

    I'm trying to make 6 toggles so you can chose different Textures on an object,
    but you shall not be able to have 2 toggles pressed at the same time (if you click another then the one that you have pressed it shall be pressed and the one that before was pressed shall be un-pressed <= THE PROBLEM!!(i can't do that)). i know there is tollbars but i can't use the because i have them in 2 rows and it looks nicer with toggles.


    do you know any thing that might be to help?

    not too sure about Unity GUI as I'm new to the framework - however in most OS's the equivalent of toggled checkboxes are radio buttons...

    You could make a script that simulate the effect of radio buttons using a collection of toggle buttons and some careful state switching.

    What you probably want to look at is the SelectionGrid - that will allow you to do a grid. (a toolbar is just a shortcut to create a one-row grid). You can pass in "toggle" as the style parameter to make them look like toggles.

    Thanks.

    The selection grid was the thing i was looking for.
    but can i make the space between them bigger?
