Understanding GUILayout.Toggle parameters

Hi Guys,

I have the following piece of code and I am unsure why it is not working as expected. I want to assign a custom texture for the different GUILayout.Toggle states, which works perfectly as long as I don't assign any additional GUILayoutOption parameters. I thought assigning additional GUILayoutOption parameters will only override settings defined by the GUIStyle, and not the texture?

The following code correctly uses the custom textures :

Code (csharp):

1.  
2. public class MainMenuScreen : MonoBehaviour
3. {
4.     public Texture2D checkOn;
5.     public Texture2D checkOff;
6.     private bool mySetting = false;
7.  
8.     private bool SettingsToggle(bool isChecked, string name)
9.     {
10.         GUILayout.BeginVertical();
11.     GUILayout.Space(10);
12.     isChecked = GUILayout.Toggle (isChecked, isChecked ? checkOn : checkOff);
13.     GUILayout.EndVertical();
14.     GUILayout.Space(10);
15.     GUILayout.Label(name);
16.     }
17.  
18.     private void DrawSettings()
19.     {
20.         mySetting = SettingsToggle(mySetting, "Test Setting");
21.     }
22. }
23.  

When I add the following parameters to this line of code, the default GUISkin gets used and I lose my custom textures. Why?

Code (csharp):

1.  
2.     isChecked = GUILayout.Toggle (isChecked, isChecked ? checkOn : checkOff, GUILayout.Width(15f), GUILayout.Height(100f));
3.  

Can anyone shed some light on this?

 

Since you're neither setting GUI.skin nor passing a GUIStyle to GUILayout.Toggle(), you're going to get the default skin in either case. The texture you pass to GUILayout.Toggle() is content; it doesn't affect how the toggle is styled. I'm not sure what you're trying to achieve, but if you want a different rendering of on/off state for the checkbox part of a toggle, you need to do that through a custom GUIStyle rather than passing textures into GUILayout.Toggle().

 

I have a somewhat similar question, I am using this piece of code in a tutorial that I am using.

Code (csharp):

1.  
2. void OnGUI(){
3.         isMageClass = GUILayout.Toggle (isMageClass, "Mage Class");
4.         isWarriorClass = GUILayout.Toggle (isWarriorClass, "Warrior Class");
5.         if(GUILayout.Button ("Create")){
6.             if(isMageClass){
7.                 newPlayer.PlayerClass = new BaseMageClass();
8.             }else if(isWarriorClass){
9.                 newPlayer.PlayerClass= new BaseWarriorClass();
10.             }
11.  

Can someone show me an example of where to add the location of this GUILayout.Toggle();?

 

Wow, just realized how old this post is

Okay I think I just figured it out,

Code (csharp):

1.  
2. isMageClass = GUI.Toggle (new Rect(10,10,100,30), isMageClass, "Mage Class");
3.
