Thanks Chris! I really appreciate your practical, no-nonsense putting the "rubber on the road" approach to this new topic! I subscribed and I hope to see more from you!

Great tutorial, very simple but at the same time very clear as to how it works. I've spent a lot of time in web development and that system makes me feel like in home. Many thanks

Excellent tutorial and overview! Unity UI in general seems like such a black box so am happy to see more content covering it. Would love to see more about how UI Toolkit links up to the code and ways of dynamically filling in UI content. Thanks so much!

You don't need canvas AT ALL! The point is to replace UGui with UiToolkit...

I was wondering that same thing. This is the first time I saw someone saying we need the canvas. Thanks for confirming my understanding of this system wasn't completely off :D

For anyone having blank uss file after adding header, try Ctrl + S then open uss file again.

@happyfarang Жыл бұрын

what do you need the canvas for? isn't the point of UI toolkit to not use the old canvas system? Or am I missing something vital?

Very nice tutorial. Thanks for taking the time to make it. At 10:56 where you try to get a grip on the Button element, I take it that the "obscure" code you are writing is because you cannot access the Button as a typical gameObject? So you have to go via the uiDocument?

@Entikai Жыл бұрын

Looks promising. I wish it was better integrated with the inspector. I wish button events were visible in the inspector and you could drag and drop scripts on to it, like the legacy buttons.

That's an awful way of doing it you can't make UI prefabs or anything the old system is bad

Video is out dated, 3:44 does not auto add anything at all... in unity 2021.3.9f1 personal cannot get past it & won't add the header to the empty list

Thanks! This helped me get started. What I dont understand is why we have to create each element independently. For example the first button, why not create it in the MainUI? We should be able to add click/event handlers in the UI builder on the action elements like toggle, button, etc. Seems an odd design choice to do it the way you showed in the video. Unless I missed something? Which is likely, I am a unity noob.

My UIToolkit menu only contains UIDocument as submenu. Even if I create a UIDocument, there are no further submenus. I also use 2022 Unity version. How do I get all the other submenus and how do I open the UIBuildEditor?

Idk if you'll get back to me but I'm using VS Code, installed a package that would support .uss files but when I open the file, nothing shows up. Just a blank page. Is that gonna affect anything or should I just manually type the classes in?

@YoutuberUser002 11 күн бұрын

The only extra extensions you need are html and CSS based extensions and yes it's empty because there no logic in there imagine it like a blank script you have to do all the logic yourself either by code or using the toolkit

Why the heck do you have so many tabs open xD

@seanerer Жыл бұрын

Makes zero sense. 1. Why would you put the document in a canvas? 2. Why would you have a document within a document? The document is supposed to be like web development. So normally, one document per page would make more sense...

@martindubois9279 Жыл бұрын

i was about to say the same thing ... what the purpose of using ui toolkit without the performance ... the whole canvas refresh every time something change inside.

@ethan_zoller 10 ай бұрын

I agree, the button should be housed inside the same document as the text. But, overall good tutorial.
