drop down menu stops

klarax

Hey,

Strange one here, and its about to break me. 

if I put my options menu in scene to begin with, it works as it should. (srop down, via own code to manipulate the y of the RectTransform of the button)

if I make it show during game play, as the it stops working.

Code still firing, done tests, but the y value will does change at all. I can still change the value manually in the editor, just wont do it through the code i got, well not when AC seems to put the prefabs in scene of the menus.

video below showing the issue:

Is the element linked to AC's Menu Manager?  Unlink if unless it has to be.  Without knowing your code it's difficult to give much more advice, but you may want to consider animating your UI instead.

the resoluton is not linked to AC menu manager. And the script is very simple.

public class DropDownMenu : MonoBehaviour, IPointerClickHandler

{

    public RectTransform container;

    public bool isOpen = false;

// Use this for initialization

void Awake ()

    {

        container = transform.FindChild("DDContainer").GetComponent<RectTransform>();

        isOpen = false;

    }

// Update is called once per frame

void Update ()

    {

        Vector3 scale = new Vector3(0, 0, 0);

        if (isOpen == true)

        {

            print("true");

            scale = container.localScale;

            scale.y = Mathf.Lerp(scale.y, 1, (Time.deltaTime * 12));

            container.localScale = scale;

        }

        else

        {

            print("false");

            scale = container.localScale;

            scale.y = Mathf.Lerp(scale.y, 0, (Time.deltaTime * 12));

            container.localScale = scale;

        }

        print(scale);

          

    }

    public void OnPointerClick(UnityEngine.EventSystems.PointerEventData eventData)

    {

        if (isOpen == false)

        {

            isOpen = true;

        }

        else

        {

            isOpen = false;

        }

    }

}

Can't see why there'd be a conflict - AC doesn't control the scale of elements, even the ones that are linked.  But I'll try it out myself and see if I turn up anything.

thanks

like video shows, its ok when in scene to begin with.

but when linked through AC menu system, unable to change the y value

a little fustrating XD

klarax

I found out why XD

The menu was pause game when active.

Bit of a pain tho, i want to use both pause game when active, and use that anim XD

time to rethink

ChrisIceBox

When paused, Unity's Time.timeScale is set to zero - so Update() calls won't work.  You should be find with FixedUpdate(), though.

Same issue with FixedUpdate

Its ok i will have it not pause, and control the game more manually.
