UI Prefabs

HNS needs to know, where to find the different UI elements on your marker. Each feature needs specific UI elements to work properly, so make sure to correctly assign them.
The most simply way to get started is to duplicate any UI prefab and customize it to your needs. You'll find the prefab in the prefabs folder:
Sickscore Games > HUD Navigation System > _Examples > HUDPrefabs.
HNS Radar Prefab
Icon: The main icon for this element
Arrow Above: The icon used as the upwards arrow for the height system
Arrow Below: The icon used as the downwards arrow for the height system
HNS Compass Bar Prefab
Icon: The main icon for this element
Distance Text: The text component used for the distance text.
HNS Indicator Prefab
Onscreen Rect: The parent transform of the onscreen indicator

Onscreen Distance Text: The text component used for the offscreen distance text.
Offscreen Rect: The parent transform of the offscreen indicator

Arrow Below: The icon used as the downwards arrow for the height system
Custom Transforms
Custom Transforms are an easy way to add custom logic to HUD Navigation Elements. We use this mechanic in our example scenes to create the item pick-up.
Custom Transforms can be used to include custom logic to HUD Navigation Elements, such as item pick-ups, interactions, ...
Settings
Name: Enter a unique name, which will be used to access this transform in code
Transform: Assign the transform with your custom logic
Code Example
Show/hide a custom icon on the indicator, if an element is within the defined radius. How to get this example to work:
1.Add a custom transform to your indicator UI Prefab
2.Your Custom Transform must be named "customIcon" (see code)
3.Create a new C# script and copy&paste the code below
4.Select the HUD Navigation Element or Element Setting you want to use
5.Assign these methods to their corresponding Events:
OnEnterRadius: OnIndicatorEnterRadius()
OnLeaveRadius: OnIndicatorLeaveRadius()
using UnityEngine;
using SickscoreGames.HUDNavigationSystem;
​
public class CustomTransformCallbackScript : MonoBehaviour
{
	public void OnIndicatorEnterRadius (HUDNavigationElement element, NavigationElementType type)
	{
		ShowCustomIndicatorTransform(element, type, true);
	}
​
​
	public void OnIndicatorLeaveRadius (HUDNavigationElement element, NavigationElementType type)
	{
		ShowCustomIndicatorTransform(element, type, false);
	}
​
​
	void ShowCustomIndicatorTransform (HUDNavigationElement element, NavigationElementType type, bool visible)
	{
		// we're only interested in indicator events
		if (!type.Equals(NavigationElementType.Indicator))
			return;
​
		// check if indicator exists
		if (element.Indicator != null)
		{
			// show/hide our custom icon, if it exists
			Transform customIcon = element.Indicator.GetCustomTransform("customIcon");
			if (customIcon != null)
				customIcon.gameObject.SetActive(visible);
		}
	}
}
