My scroll views don’t mask properly. W Delta is set automatically by the scroll bar width and the “spacing” parameter from the Scroll Rect. But if you don’t use a horizontal scroll bar (same as how Sam shows us) then you can’t set those parameters and you end up with bad clipping. Lots of search and I can’t find a solution without removing the Scroll Rect but then you lose scroll bars. I am not entirely sure why this doesn’t affect Sam.
The clipping is done by the mask. Ideally you’d want a mask image that considers your rounded rect container. You could possibly use the rounded rect image (instead of the UIMask that’s currently being used, but I don’t know if the colors will play along. Iirc, the masked bits are supposed to be white, while black bits will show through. Or it could be alpha values. I can’t remember now
Ah Ok. I think I follow. Here is what I have one level up. Inset_Grey.
- I used Inset_Grey instead of UIMask but I get nothing better.
- Next what I did is I set the Alpha to 1. It got marginally better in that anything outside the inset is now clipped. but I still need it to clip more to include the shaded part of the inset.
So I basically need a custom mask for Inset_Grey? So unintuitive. I watched a few youtube videos and the trick they did was to make the “viewport” smaller but I have no control over the view since I’m using scroll bars.
Do you think a really well delivered asset pack should come with pre-made assets for insets and masking??
Ok here’s the trick. On the scroll rect component set the Vertical ScrollBar visibility to permanent
Then as soon as you that, then I get the setting I need on the viewport. This is so unintuitive. It shouldn’t be this hard. It really doesn’t seem to make sense that making the vertical scroll bar permanent means I get to control the viewport top and bottom because the setting was useful regardless.
