When I add the script on the "On Value Changed" event thing, I get a number next to it saying "0" which can be changed, whenever I change the dropdown, it doesn't actually change the selected option, it DISPLAYS the second option, but in reality, nothing changed

@monkey1371 Жыл бұрын

I just ran into the same problem. Did you find any solution?

@monkey1371 Жыл бұрын

Update: I fixed this as followed: When selecting the function OnValueChanged calls, you have to select the function at the top of the list in the "dynmaic int" section, not the one from the "static parameters" list below.

@BmoreGaming 9 ай бұрын

Great Tutorial! I'm curious though, I thought in order to change anything during runtime the code would need to be within the Update method. Why is that not the case here?

@SpeedTutor 9 ай бұрын

No, absolutely not. Update is ONLY if you need to check at all times to see if something has happened. An example of the legacy input system, you wanted to check if someone will ever press a button and look out for it. Update should be avoided if you can help it, so if you do things on events like the UI's are, then it happens when the UI event changes. Then you run a method that only fires when you tell it to do so :) I hope that helps.

Wondering if you’d have any advice on how to change the size of a game object from a press on the drop down?

@SpeedTutor Жыл бұрын

You could run some code which scales your specific object within those options on the dropdown.

I cannot click at my dropdown box and show the dropdown options by default for some reasons...... I am using TM Pro v3.0.x

@SpeedTutor Жыл бұрын

I'm not sure without seeing the example but make sure anything you have isn't blocked by other UI elements, the UI element allows for raycasting (Usually a tickbox) and see if you remove the canvas, create a new one with a button and slowly work out what the issue is :)

@peterwan小P Жыл бұрын

@@SpeedTutor I switched the tag to none and it sort of works now. The hit box seems to be at the bottom of the drop-down menu. If I click the middle of the menu it does not response. I am just completely puzzled by this behaviour 😵‍💫😵‍💫😵‍💫 but since it is sort of clickable now, I think it’s fine?

@SpeedTutor Жыл бұрын

I'm sorry I can't be more specific, but if it's functional for your usage then I guess it's fine but what about if you create a dropdown again? Try it within it's default state on a new canvas and see if it works?

My original recording is always incredibly loud, if I didn't lower the audio in editing your ears would be blasted at about 2 volume. Haha. I have it like this because I test on headphones and speakers. Around half volume is usually pretty damn loud, as I get complaints otherwise! :)
