2cameras for UI

[hromoydron]

Hello!

I need to use two cameras for UI.
But tk2UIManager can contain only one camera. And tk2UIManager can be only one.

What should I do?

Is there any particular reason you NEED 2 cameras?
You're right, there can be only one UIManager - the system was designed that way to avoid having multiple managers - more things could go wrong that way.

I have 2 monitors for my ui, where all the colliders are on 1 layer and in the camera view, the 2nd is just viually displaying the info at a further back Z. Innefficient I know, Easy to know where things are,,, to an extent

It doesn't support it at the moment. If all the colliders are only in one camera, then you will only need to use that camera with the manager - basically, the UIManager needs to know which camera to fire the ray from, and the ray has to hit colliders there.

I have static buttons and buttons on the map. Map is bigger than screen, so I can drag and drop it with buttons on it(I simply move camera).
So I use one camera for static buttons over the map and second camera for map and buttons on it.

That's why I need it.

But now I understand. Instead moving a camera. I can move a game object with map and button on it.
But I am afraid of productivity(performance). There are One big map , 20-30 buttons, and 20 small animated sprites.
I make a game for IOS. I am far away from productivity test, but I afraid of lags, if I will move all these objects.

What can you say?
Is moving all objects harder for system than moving a camera or no?

30 objects isn't exactly a lot though. I suggest picking the easiest solution first, and optimize later if necessary. Moving objects is possibly a bit more expensive than the camera, if the object has children in the hierarchy, but I doubt you'd notice with 20-30 objects
