Unity UI Move panel by its own width

Hi Everyone,

I’m trying to move a Panel in and out of the screen using an animation controller. The size of the panel is a percentage of the screen size, so I don’t know it’s width at runtime.

I animated the RectTransforms “Left” values (Anchored Position.x in the animation window), but that obviously only works for a specific screen size.

Any idea how I can do this independently of the screen size? Like in CSS where I could animate the transform to “translateX(-100%)”, 100% relating to the elements width.

Any help is much appreciated!

 

It depends a bit on the hierarchy structure and the sizes of the parents. But if the parent is covering the whole screen, you can simply animate the anchorMin and anchorMax values.
