As a Game Technical Designer in a game very dependant from UI (75% of my work is UI implementation), this is the good way, and it took me months working only on UI and doing it the bad way, learning from mistakes (and suffering) to end discovering this pipeline by miself. Now, anyone who finds this video will know. Thanks! (why this video didn't appear before!?). Now, with a finished UI, I have used around 10-15 prefabs (+ specific cases and priners ) And yes, I DO ENJOY IMPLEMENTING INTERFACES! Good video!

This would make a great series. Learned a lot

When does the frustration go away? 😅 I've a hard time to understand, how half the added things work, as they're just dealed with for a few seconds each before adding the next things. Feels more like an intermediate tutorial at this point than a beginner one, but i'll hang in there and will probably understanding after watching it a few more times.

Please make that part 2 you mentioned. This UI system is amazing!

Right on time, im planning on making ui based games as my first games to practice, so this is helpful.

Great video. Couple of fun additions. Did you know that the Text mesh pro scene and ui version have a shared base class? this means you dont need to remember that long confusing name, whenever you want TMP text you can just write... TMP_Text! that type will let you drag it into the inspector field and use it normally. Also when it comes to themes/configurable scriptable objects, did you know if you make default themes etc you can actually drag them into the _script_ as in, select the script in the project view and assign it there, that way any time you add that script to a new object the theme variable will already be filled in for you ! for an extra layer for this I actually don't reference the theme but I reference a theme manager, so you never need to change the theme SO on any component ever, but the ui component subscribes to a change event in the SO and so when I assign a new theme in the Manager SO all other ones get automagically updated in real time! Looking forward to seeing your take on the Control layer.

This is cool. Never thought about making them all prefab full stretch.

That was great! Thanks for the insight.

Watching this at night with this classical music on background makes me sleepy... but what a fantastic tutorial for making a flexible, maintenable UI! Thanks for sharing your knowledge sir!

Can't wait for the Logic video to pop up!

Très bon tuto, merci !

today I learned, thanks : )

This video helps me a lot ,Thanks man

Yes, we need the next video please. 🙌

Impressive👍

Damn, i found diamonds

Holy ****. This video is gold.

you got some real interesting niche down there (I want to fill this niche but I never take the time to do so), high end / advanced concepts not just beginner code, too few address this topic unfortunately :(

is the code for this available on github?

Super video merci beaucoup !

Finally some advanced coding tutorial. I will definitely need this to learn. 🍷

Awesome, I hope we see a next video soon :D You can use [ContextMenu("Special Name")] before any public function to run it in editor, you can find the button in the component options btw. Here is the way I write Get functions with enum choices: public Color GetBackgroundColor(Style style) { return style switch { Style.Primary => primary_bg, Style.Secondary => secondary_bg, Style.Tertialy => tertiary_bg, _ => disable }; }

this is awesome

Really helpful video, thanks! For some reason my three containers aren't being coloured (not sure why), also my text isn't showing on the scene either. The two buttons added to the bottom container also aren't visible and are in the middle of the middle container. Any idea why these errors might be occurring?

Now, I have no excuse for not learning how to make a UI.

What do you think about Doozy UI Manager? Is it a good tool with which you can create a UI based games? Can we follow you logic in Unity Visual Scripting addon?

awesome video. And love the accent

This was great, for an area that often isn't that widely covered! One thing I noticed, the CustomUIComponent has a private Awake method, the subclasses have their Awake removed now - doesn't that mean the subclasses don't have their Awake called? I know the event methods work differently from regular inheritance because Unity just looks for them on a per-script basis, so I don't know if having a protected (virtual) Awake method on the CustomUIComponent would make it so that for the subclasses the same Awake is called as well.

are you using warcraft 3 background music? also cool tutorial

how would you compare the advantages of a system like this with just using the UI Toolkit that unity provides with template xml and css equivalents?

You have plans to use UI Toolkit?

So I tried this today. Unfortunately I ran into some problems. When I change the padding data on my ViewSO and hit save this works well. For all other fields in ViewSO (colors in the ThemeSO and spacing) the values are only applied if my code reloads or if I trigger 'Init()' manually. Anyone got an idea what I'm doing wrong here or has a suggestion how to fix it? One thing I'm doing differently than in the video is that I use private fields with [SerializeField] and properties to acces them, but I don't think that is the cause of the error as I changed it to use public fields and the behaviour did not change at all.

Great Tutorial but skipped some walkthrough steps that took me around an hour to figure out. If there is a part two I would love if you could move a little slower and show a little more instead of just cutting between stuff assuming I know exactly what you did

Why can't these types of concepts just be built into the editor?

love the video

Moar

am i the only one who is missing that scriptable object ViewSO code? he didnt even show it. he just creates it via right click right away with no context or ANY information?

so this video is 3 month old but does not use UI Toolkit with which you can basically build reusable components and do just that (^) in a way more declarative way using a web-derived way? Can someone explain to me why to do the approach from this video instead? I am really curious, not just hating.

Here I thought I finally knew how to make UI and I don't know shit. Thank you

Ah yes~ Let's overoptimize first, and then never release the project.

after the changes of approx 06:28 im getting : NullReferenceException: Object reference not set to an instance of an object UI_Framework.View.Configure () (at Assets/UI Framework/Scripts/View.cs:44) UI_Framework.View.Init () (at Assets/UI Framework/Scripts/View.cs:31) UI_Framework.View.OnValidate () (at Assets/UI Framework/Scripts/View.cs:54) UnityEngine.GUIUtility:ProcessEvent(Int32, IntPtr, Boolean&) and i did save and even closed and reopened but still that exception also the colors of the 3 image game objects are not visible i have to set the alpha of all 3 to a very high number for them to show up but when i hit play the alpha is set to 1 again and i have to manually set it back to a higher number so that they become visible Edit: when i set the the alphas in the themeSO that was created then during runtime they image components become visible but the behavior is still different than in the video im using unity 2022.3.6 btw
