Support / Re: Help with dynamic TextMesh batching

« on: August 26, 2013, 07:12:30 pm »

I looked into the tk2dStaticSpriteBatcherEditor class. I was able to fish out what I needed.
But I appreciate the warning.

Thank you for the quick reply.

The thing is I actually have a few thousand TextMeshes in different "container" GameObjects. The drawCalls is around 80 now. I just noticed that when I added the spriteBatcher to few of the containers and hit Commit the drawCalls dropped. So I was interested in trying it.

Each textMesh has a random text, scale, alpha, position and rotation.

Any help would be appreciated.

Support / Help with dynamic TextMesh batching

« on: August 26, 2013, 04:14:05 pm »

Iīm having trouble understanding how I can batch some textMesh objects. I have looked at the code example http://www.unikronsoftware.com/2dtoolkit/docs/2.00/advanced/scripting_static_sprite_batcher.html but I canīt seem to figure out how i can apply that to my current code.

For demo purposes this is what I got.

Code: [Select]

public GameObject go;
public GameObject prefab;

private tk2dStaticSpriteBatcher batcher;

void Start ()
{
batcher = go.AddComponent<tk2dStaticSpriteBatcher>();

GameObject item;

for(int i = 0; i < 100; i++)
{
Vector3 p0 = new Vector3(UnityEngine.Random.Range(-10,10), UnityEngine.Random.Range(-10,10), UnityEngine.Random.Range(-10,10));
item = Instantiate(prefab, p0, Quaternion.identity) as GameObject;
item.transform.parent = go.transform;

int num = UnityEngine.Random.Range(0,26);
char letter = (char)('a' + num);
var textMesh = item.GetComponent<tk2dTextMesh>();

textMesh.text = letter.ToString();
textMesh.Commit();
}
}

At this point I can hit the "Commit" button on the Sprite Batcher script and the objects get baked into one mesh.
How can I do the Commit dynamically?

Thanks.

Support / Setting Color to Text Mesh after modifying its vertices

« on: October 03, 2012, 12:53:03 pm »

After changing vertices in Text Mesh I?m not able to set a new Color to it.

Am I missing something ?

Example:

Code: [Select]

GameObject item = Instantiate(prefab, transform.position, transform.rotation) as GameObject;
var textMesh = item.GetComponent<tk2dTextMesh>();
string text = "Hello 2D Toolkit";
textMesh.maxChars=text.Length;
textMesh.text = text;
Color c = textMesh.color;
c = Color.red;
textMesh.color = c;
textMesh.Commit();

MeshFilter mf = textMesh.GetComponent<MeshFilter>();
int n;
Vector3[] vertices = mf.mesh.vertices;
for(int k=0; k<text.Length; k++)
{
n = Random.Range(-3,3);

for(int j=0; j < 4; j++)
{
vertices[k*4 + j].z += n;
}
}

mf.mesh.vertices = vertices;
mf.mesh.RecalculateBounds();

Color c1 = textMesh.color;
c1 = Color.blue;
textMesh.color = c1;
textMesh.Commit();

Thank you, that guided me in the right direction.

If anyone is interested in this.

Code: [Select]

GameObject item = Instantiate(prefab, transform.position, transform.rotation) as GameObject;
var textMesh = item.GetComponent<tk2dTextMesh>();
string text = "Hello 2D Toolkit";
textMesh.maxChars=text.Length;
textMesh.text = text;
textMesh.Commit();

MeshFilter mf = textMesh.GetComponent<MeshFilter>();
int n;
Vector3[] vertices = mf.mesh.vertices;
for(int k=0; k<text.Length; k++)
{
n = Random.Range(-3,3);

for(int j=0; j < 4; j++)
{
vertices[k*4 + j].z += n;
}
}

mf.mesh.vertices = vertices;
mf.mesh.RecalculateBounds();

Yes, that would be helpful.
Thanks

Yes I would like to change the position and possibly the scale of individual char in a text mesh.
The idea was to animate each char to a different Z position and at some point back to the original position.

Support / Text Mesh loop through each character

« on: October 02, 2012, 03:04:08 pm »

Hi, how can I loop through all the characters in a text mesh and change their position e.g?

So this is basically what I got.

Code: [Select]

GameObject item = Instantiate(prefab, transform.position, transform.rotation) as GameObject;
var textMesh = item.GetComponent<tk2dTextMesh>();
string text = "Hello 2D Toolkit";
textMesh.maxChars=text.Length;
textMesh.text = text;
textMesh.Commit();

Any input appreciated.
