Handling Views

[iamchairs]

I made a thread a few days ago about possibly using html for views. That's not possible so I'm going to give the legacy gui a shot but I'm having trouble structuring.

I have a View class with a `paint` method. I'll create subclasses for the views I need and modify `paint`. To actually call paint I need an OnGUI method to call them. So in one class I'm calling the ViewManager you can register your view and in the OnGUI loop it calls paint on each view that should be painting. Here is my ViewManager class-

[FONT=Menlo]
[/FONT]using System;
using System.Collections;
using UnityEngine;


namespace StateFunding {
  [KSPAddon (KSPAddon.Startup.MainMenu, false)]
  public class ViewManager: MonoBehaviour {


    public View[] views = new View[0];


    public void addView(View V) {
      View[] newViews = new View[views.Length+1];
      for(int i = 0; i < views.Length; i++) {
        newViews[i] = views[i];
      }
      newViews[newViews.Length-1] = V;


      views = newViews;
    }


    public void OnGUI() {
      Debug.Log ("guiiii");
      for (var i = 0; i < views.Length; i++) {
        Debug.Log ("In a looooop");
        View V = views [i];
        if (V.isPainting ()) {
          V.paint ();
        }
      }
    }


  }
}

The log shows "guiiii" and "In a loooop" being repeated up until I enter a game. I'm guessing the ViewManager object is unregistered during that transition. How do I keep this alive? I just want to have the ViewManager running all the time and I can register/unregister views from it when needed.

add DontDestroyOnLoad(this) to the Start method, like so:

private void Start()
{
    DontDestroyOnLoad(this);
}

It will prevent the game from removing your ViewManager every time a new scene loads.

Also, next time you have a programming related question like this, post it in the Plugin Development subforum
