Copy code

final nameplate = new Nameplate();
        s2d.addChild(nameplate);

        final component = new Nameplate();
        s2d.addChild(component);

doing the same thing twice

Well.. that makes sense.. since I have multiple entities, so I guess if we made 2 cubes and then attached UI to each one, that replicates what I have

removing the second doesnt fix it for me

bright-gpu-74537

05/12/2022, 6:44 AM

removing the first does

bright-gpu-74537

05/12/2022, 6:44 AM

so i think haxeui is still doing something iffy

bright-gpu-74537

05/12/2022, 6:45 AM

so actually, i dont think its anything wrong with your duplication, i think haxeui-heaps has some type of issue with "ObjectFollower"

Copy code

haxe
        haxe.ui.Toolkit.init({root : s2d});

        var prim = new h3d.prim.Cube();
        prim.translate(-1.1, -0.5, -0.5);
        prim.unindex();
        prim.addNormals();
        prim.addUVs();
        obj = new h3d.scene.Mesh(prim, s3d);

        obj2 = new h3d.scene.Mesh(prim, s3d);
        obj2.setPosition(1.1, 0, 0);

        final follow = new h2d.ObjectFollower(obj, s2d);
        final nameplate = new Nameplate();
        follow.addChild(nameplate);

        final follow2 = new h2d.ObjectFollower(obj, s2d);
        final nameplate2 = new Nameplate();
        follow2.addChild(nameplate2);

        cameraController = new h3d.scene.CameraController(s3d);
        cameraController.loadFromCamera();

So this is more similar to my setup

but even with one of those follows, you're right

@bright-gpu-74537 it's weird, because if you undo

root : s2d

at the top, you'll see that the UI follows as expected

ill have a look - never used "ObjectFollower" so just trying to understand what it does - thanks for the test app though - much simpler now

bright-gpu-74537

05/12/2022, 6:48 AM

oh? Weird

blue-nest-78034

ObjectFollower takes a 3D object, gets it's position in the 2D space (screenspace), and then allows you to attach UI to it. Think healthbars above enemy heads!

bright-gpu-74537

so, my guess (but ill need to investigate) is that is setting some properties on the object that haxeui-heaps is then not happy about

Copy code

haxe

        haxe.ui.Toolkit.init({root : null});

        var prim = new h3d.prim.Cube();
        prim.translate(-0.5, -0.5, -0.5);
        prim.unindex();
        prim.addNormals();
        prim.addUVs();

        obj = new h3d.scene.Mesh(prim, s3d);
        obj.setPosition(-1.1, 0, 0);

        obj2 = new h3d.scene.Mesh(prim, s3d);
        obj2.setPosition(1.1, 0, 0);

        final follow = new h2d.ObjectFollower(obj, s2d);
        final nameplate = new Nameplate();
        follow.addChild(nameplate);

        final follow2 = new h2d.ObjectFollower(obj2, s2d);
        final nameplate2 = new Nameplate();
        follow2.addChild(nameplate2);

        cameraController = new h3d.scene.CameraController(s3d);
        cameraController.loadFromCamera();

Do this (final time I ask you to change code I promise)

bright-gpu-74537

05/12/2022, 6:50 AM

i get

WARNING: trying to add a component to a null root. Either set Screen.instance.root or specify one in Toolkit.init

blue-nest-78034

05/12/2022, 6:50 AM

This works, but the buttons don't click (presumably because

root

null

)

blue-nest-78034

05/12/2022, 6:50 AM

as soon as you set root to

s2d

, that's when: 1. The UI goes to the top left 2. The game freezes on mouseover

I hope this helps

Thank you, I can now play games on my day off 😂

bright-gpu-74537

05/12/2022, 6:51 AM

what are these "days off" i hear people talking about all the time? 😄

blue-nest-78034

05/12/2022, 6:51 AM

Ping me when you think you've got a fix, or if you want my help.. but i'm a bit out of my depth

blue-nest-78034

05/12/2022, 6:52 AM

I took a day off from work today to chill out, and I wanted to put UI into my game but I don't really fancy spending the whole day fixing a bug 😛

bright-gpu-74537

05/12/2022, 6:53 AM

fair 🙂

Sorry for the late reply, I had to step away for a second

This is the only error I get now:

It does not seem to be locking up in the short term anymore
