Text Mesh Pro Menu Element

ezsilman

Hi all. For anyone wanting to use the fantastic Text Mesh Pro Unity asset - https://www.assetstore.unity3d.com/en/#!/content/17662 - for their AC menus (i.e. hotspot labels, subtitles etc.) I have created a Menu class under the Scripts -> Menu -> Menu classes folder.

I took the MenuLabel.cs file as the base and created MenuLabelTMPro.cs.

Just swapping out the Text class with TMPro.TextMeshProUGUI.

Where can I post the .cs file?

Oh sweet!

This is a great addon, so much so that I believe AC should have a support for it out of the box...

Suppose could use pastebin?

I agree that TMPro is a great asset (though the various updates are hard to keep track of..)

I don't believe there needs to be an official integration between the two assets, as it happens, because it's possible to write a script that links them together without amending either assets.  So long as you're using Unity UI for your AC Menus, just have your AC-linked Text object hidden out the way, and instead have a custom script copy it's Text contents into a TMPro Text object instead.

Ah good alternative solution! Thanks

Smart.

Is there a link to the script somewhere?
