WorldToGUIPoint help

Hi, I'm having trouble setting up the WorldToGUIPoint, as the documentation does not provide an example and I could find no help on the forums or internet.

This is the code that I made, but I can't figure out the initial setup:

Code (csharp):

1. function OnGUI() {
2.    
3.    var nodeGUI: HandleUtility;
4.    
5.    var node = GameObject.Find("node0");
6.  
7.    var nodeScript = node.GetComponent("NodeScript");
8.    var nodeLoc = nodeGUI.WorldToGUIPoint(nodeScript.nodeLoc);
9.    var bonus = nodeScript.nodeValue.ToString();
10.    
11.    GUI.Label(Rect(nodeLoc.x, nodeLoc.y, 100, 20), bonus);
12.  
13. }

How would I correctly set up the nodeGUI and nodeLoc variables?

 

I figured out a different way of doing it...

Since the script is attached to the camera, I removed the nodeGUI variable and changed

Code (csharp):

1. var nodeLoc = nodeGUI.WorldToGUIPoint(nodeTwo.nodeLoc);

to

Code (csharp):

1. var nodeLoc = camera.WorldToScreenPoint(nodeTwo.nodeLoc);

 

Sorry for being late to the game here, but I'm glad you sorted this out. We need to tidy up a number of scripting reference entries, especially some of these GUI APIs in particular.

 

hi
I was dealing with this issue too: here is the script I'm using and it works great. I found I had to make an adjustment to the y value to get the position I wanted
