Gui

GUI is a flat GUI object that is positioned in the world and to which different widgets are assigned to be displayed.

Basically, a flat GUI object is a flat display, on which GUI is rendered. You can interact with such GUI the same way as with GUI created via the Gui class.

Post-process filters can be applied to a flat GUI object (for example, motion blur or any other).

You can add a GUI via UnigineEditor and then assign a widget to it via UnigineScript.

To add the GUI:

1. Run the project with UnigineEditor.
2. On the Menu bar, click Create -> Effects -> GUI.

   

3. Place the created GUI in the world and specify the required parameters for it.
4. In the script, get the GUI via the engine.editor.getNodeByName() (or engine.editor.getNode() if the node index is known) and assign a widget to it by using functions of the ObjectGui class.

In the Gui tab of the Parameters window, you can adjust the following parameters of the GUI object:

Billboard	Indicates if the GUI is rendered as a billboard. Billboard is unchecked Billboard is checked
