Text not displaying with custom GUIStyle

Hi all,
I tried to make something like an event log which, lists nicely the thrown events together with an icon.

So I defined a GUIStyle in my script and changed the values accordingly in the Inspector.

That's what I ended up with:

Code (csharp):

1.  
2. var InfoIcon : Texture2D;
3. private var EventMessages : ArrayList;
4. var ConsoleGUIStyle : GUIStyle;
5.  
6. function Start() {
7.     EventMessages = new ArrayList();
8. }
9.  
10. function OnGUI() {
11.     if (GUI.RepeatButton(rel(0.18,0.76,0.02,0.02),"+")) {
12.         GameObject.Find("Bert450_Boot").GetComponent("Boat").SendMessage("zoomMap",5);
13.     }
14.     if (GUI.RepeatButton(rel(0.197,0.777,0.02,0.02),"-")) {
15.         GameObject.Find("Bert450_Boot").GetComponent("Boat").SendMessage("zoomMap",-5);
16.     }
17.     Console();
18. }
19.  
20. function rel(x : float, y: float, w: float, h: float) : Rect {
21.     return Rect(Screen.width*x, Screen.height*y, Screen.width*w, Screen.height*h);
22. }
23.  
24. function LogMessage(message: String) {
25.     EventMessages.Add(message);
26.     if (EventMessages.Count > 10) {
27.         EventMessages.RemoveAt(EventMessages.Count - 1);
28.     }
29. }
30.  
31. function Console() {
32.     GUILayout.BeginArea(rel(0.05,0.4,0.2,0.2));
33.     GUILayout.Label("");
34.         GUILayout.BeginVertical();
35.     if (EventMessages.Count > 0) {
36.         for (var Message : String in EventMessages) {
37.             GUILayout.Label(GUIContent(InfoIcon,Message),ConsoleGUIStyle);
38.         }
39.     }
40.         GUILayout.EndVertical();
41.     GUILayout.EndArea();
42. }
43.  

So I try, unless the Messages are empty, to create a custom label with an icon and some info text, but the text is not displayed. I think I sticked to the scripting manual and tried a few things but nothing worked.
Can anyone help me please?
Thank you in advance!
Regards

 

I've done the same thing except I don't use icons, but you could easily add them by modifying the MyDebugItem struct. (Example is C#)

In your "global' class, create a struct(which defines each debug list item) and an ArrayList (our Debug Log) - we overload the method to allow for a title item or title+details items:

Code (csharp):

1. //My Debug Log Struct
2.     public struct MyDebugItem
3.     {
4.         public bool ShowDetails;
5.         public string TimeStamp;
6.         public string ItemHeader;
7.         public string ItemDetails;
8.         public MyDebugItem(string mItemHeader, string mItemDetails)
9.         {
10.             this.ShowDetails = false;
11.             this.TimeStamp = DateTime.Now.ToString("dd-MMM-yyyy HH:mm:ss");
12.             this.ItemHeader = mItemHeader;
13.             this.ItemDetails = mItemDetails;
14.         }
15.         public MyDebugItem(string mItemHeader)
16.         {
17.             this.ShowDetails = false;
18.             this.TimeStamp = DateTime.Now.ToString("dd-MMM-yyyy HH:mm:ss");
19.             this.ItemHeader = mItemHeader;
20.             this.ItemDetails = "No Additional Information";
21.         }
22.     }
23.     public static ArrayList MyDebugLog = new ArrayList();

To add stuff to the debug log, you have two options (with details or just the title):

Code (csharp):

1.         MyGlobalScript.MyDebugLog.Add(new MyGlobalScript.MyDebugItem("App Initialized Successfullly"));
2.         MyGlobalScript.MyDebugLog.Add(new MyGlobalScript.MyDebugItem("Data Path", Application.dataPath));

This is the GUI used to display the debug log - mine is also setup for a custom GUISKin so it will probably look strange using the default. However, it does show a nice way to create a collapsable debug log.

Code (csharp):

1. using UnityEngine;
2. using System.Collections;
3. using System;
4.  
5. public class DebugWindow : MonoBehaviour
6. {
7.     private Rect DebugWindowPosition;
8.     private Vector2 DebugWindowLogScrollPos;
9.     private bool FocusDebugWindow = false;
10.     void OnGUI()
11.     {
12.  
13.         DebugWindowPosition = GUI.Window(1, DebugWindowPosition, DoDebugLogWindow, "My Debug Log");
14.     }
15.  
16.     void DoDebugLogWindow(int mWindowID)
17.     {
18.         if (FocusDebugWindow)
19.         {
20.             GUI.BringWindowToFront(mWindowID);
21.             GUI.FocusWindow(mWindowID);
22.             FocusDebugWindow = false;
23.         }
24.         if (GUI.Button(new Rect(284, 10, 16, 16), "", GUI.skin.GetStyle("closebutton16x16"))) ShowDebugWindow = false;
25.         GUILayout.BeginVertical();
26.         GUILayout.Space(25);
27.         DebugWindowLogScrollPos = GUILayout.BeginScrollView(DebugWindowLogScrollPos);
28.         for (int i = 0; i < MyGlobalScript.MyDebugLog.Count; i++)
29.         {
30.             MyGlobalScript.MyDebugItem thisDI = new MyGlobalScript.MyDebugItem();
31.             thisDI = (MyGlobalScript.MyDebugItem)MyGlobalScript.MyDebugLog[i];
32.             if (!thisDI.ShowDetails)
33.             {
34.                 GUILayout.BeginVertical();
35.                 GUILayout.BeginHorizontal();
36.                 thisDI.ShowDetails = GUILayout.Toggle(thisDI.ShowDetails, "", GUILayout.Width(28), GUILayout.Height(28));
37.                 MyGlobalScript.MyDebugLog[i] = thisDI;
38.                 string DebugSummaryItem = thisDI.ItemHeader + ": " + thisDI.ItemDetails;
39.                 if (DebugSummaryItem.Length > 32) DebugSummaryItem = DebugSummaryItem.Substring(0, 29) + "...";
40.                 GUILayout.Label(DebugSummaryItem, GUILayout.Height(28));
41.                 GUILayout.EndHorizontal();
42.             }
43.             else
44.             {
45.                 GUILayout.BeginVertical();
46.                 GUILayout.BeginHorizontal();
47.                 thisDI.ShowDetails = GUILayout.Toggle(thisDI.ShowDetails, "", GUILayout.Width(32), GUILayout.Height(28));
48.                 MyGlobalScript.MyDebugLog[i] = thisDI;
49.                 GUILayout.TextArea(thisDI.TimeStamp + "\n" + thisDI.ItemHeader + "\n" + thisDI.ItemDetails, GUILayout.Width(220));
50.                 GUILayout.EndHorizontal();
51.             }
52.             GUILayout.EndVertical();
53.         }
54.         GUILayout.EndScrollView();
55.         GUILayout.EndVertical();
56.         GUI.DragWindow();
57.     }
58. }
