UI Builder available in Package Manager

Little sad that none of the Unite talks are streamed, hope to see them being uploaded later.

"UI Builder: Cannot load .uxml files outside the Project." - I wish I could open those in (editable) Packages. Nvm I see it is working but I have to load them in Library window instead of File button

 

Hello, so i got this package for beta version thinking i could create in-game UI using UIElements, but i am lost here since i couldnt see any way to place the created tree into the game, so is this only for creating/editing UIElements visually or is there actually a way to create in-game UI ?

PS: I am not experienced with UIElements, i know its for editor only for the time being and it will be released for in-game UI as well, but this package kind of give me hope haha

 

You pretty much answered your own question. There's no way to put UI into the game yet but it will hopefully come soon.

 

UIElements are currently for the Editor only. You may want to wait for Unity 2019.3, as this release is expected to bring UIElements for Runtime usage.

See the roadmap .pdf here: https://forum.unity.com/threads/ui-roadmap.735338/

 

When the runtime support arrives, will it have new runtime controls for us to use, and will we be able to use some of the current controls, like tree views, at runtime? Some of the current controls feel borderline unusable for runtime.

 

Hey. This looks very promising. A few questions though:

1. How can I set the UI Elements to follow a 3D object in game (like a tooltip over a 3D character)?
2. How can I insert a 3D object into the UI?

 

Is there a way of connecting the layout of the UXML and USS files to actual functions like clicking on a button and it opens another window or panel? I was able to code button functions using C# in the project window.
I made three test windows to make a working UI, but I need a way of switching to them and I have not worked with UXML or USS (or even XML and CSS).

Do I have to reference the UXML files in a C# script or is there a different way I can code this?

 

Hey you guys have done a great job!!Well im confused with the phrase " It does not add runtime support for UIElements" .What exactly this means.I have few questions
1. Can we add buttons , change sprites , instantiate buttons/sprites during runtime??
2. How can we run Animations using timeline (animators)
3. Like multiple canvases, how can we do this with new UI builder
4. How about performance? If we use canvases and if any object(sprite/buttons etc) gets enabled/disabled/moved etc, existing UI system would redraw the entire canvas and its a costly process.What happens with this new ui builder?
5. How nicely would this layout change(any new features for handling this? i know about anchoring) with all mobile resolutions especially full screen/super wide resolutions eg: 20:9 etc??

 

Hi
My question is.
How can I add and / remove a child .uxml file inside a visualelement component placed in other .uxml in runtime in c#? if it can be done.
Thanks.

 

I can't find a PanelRenderer component demonstrated in the video presentation. Where is it?

 

You have to copy & paste the whole Assets/UIERuntime folder from https://github.com/Unity-Technologies/UIElementsUniteCPH2019RuntimeDemo to your Assets folder. Then you should have Unity.UIElements.Runtime.PanelRenderer class available in your scripts. And a GameObject > UIElements > Panel in your Editor.

 

This one didn't work for me:

Code (CSharp):

1. Assets/UIERuntime/Editor/InternalBridge/EditorInternalBridge.cs(20,13): error CS0103: The name 'UIElementsEditorRuntimeUtility' does not exist in the current context
2.  

 

This is truly great! Got one question for you. Is there a way of defining where in the UXML templates children will end up? By children I mean the place where sub trees will end up when the UXML template has been instantiated and you call Add on that VisualElememt. See for example how children works in ReactJS.

 

Awesome! Thanks a bunch!

 

Could we help into the development of this package in some way? Is there's some repository with the code or it is completely private?

 

@nightborn I would also be interested in contributing if possible!

 

Hi! First of all want to thanks developers for such amazing tool! I was waiting for something like this for years))

I have a question - how can I change ObjectField.Label's minWidth value? May be there is the way to copy build in style and change it or something else?


Thanks!

 

@uDamian any way to not make UIBuilder hang when I am dragging elements around or clicking on items? It get's very annoying.

looks like this is only happening in 2020...no hanging in 2019.3

 

Hi @uDamian,

I just wanted to ask you if you have any updates on the UI Builder official release. I know it's planned to be released this summer.

We are currently starting working on a pretty complex project with Unity 2019.3 and we want to make sure we will be able to use UI Builder as we really like working with it so far.

Can you confirm that it will be fully supported with version 2019.3 or any 2019 upcoming versions?

Thank you!

 

Hello, so what are you recommending in case the Panel Renderer doesn't show up ?
It seems like my UI Builder is up to date (0.10.2) and I don't see anything when I want to Add Component.

Thank you !

 

Afaik Panel Renderer is part of Runtime folder from sample project of last Unite (cph), it’s not officially released even for preview. UI Builder is just convenient tool for building you USS/UXML.

 

So at the moment you can just build a UI but are not able to use it in any project ?

Apart from when you include the runtime folder of the sample project on github ?

 

Hi, is it normal I don't have acees to all components in UI Builder since I change my Unity version to Unity 2020.1b.16 ?

 

Sorry, I'll do next time. Thanks for the quick answer !

 

Quick question, the Builder 1.0.0-preview.3 works in Unity 2019.4.4f1 LTS?
I used the code from Unite (cph), but i can't see any UI.

 

Is the UI Builder functional for runtime as of 2019.4.8f1 LTS?

 

Hi, this is awesome, however I'm not fully understanding how to get it into my project. I only have "Unity UI" visible in my package manager, but I reckon that has nothing to do with the UI Builder.

Is this production ready? We're building a 2D MMO and I was hoping to use a similar syntax to web development for building the UI.

Thank you very much!
