I have run into a problem with Unity's UI that I can't seem to solve.
As you can see from the picture above, the 3D space turret is blocking the UI around it. This can make it very hard or even impossible for the player to click on the buttons when there are enemies, obstacles, and other stuff all around it. Is there some way of having the canvas or UI elements overlay in front of the world's 3D objects? I would appreciate any ideas!
Hi, I appreciate your response! I currently am using the world space render mode for the canvas, that way I set the position of the canvas to be where the turret is. But since it is in 3D space other 3D objects will be rendered in front of the canvas if they are between it and the camera. Here is a demonstration of what I was able to do with TMP text that I would like to do with the canvas:
The text, although its position is below the terrain in the world, is still rendered in front of the terrain, causing it to be visible under any circumstances. I was able to achieve this with a shader option, but you can't use shaders with UI elements. (at least not that I know of)
But I do think your idea of having the text always facing the camera can work as a work-around! I'll use that idea if I can't figure anything else out. Thanks for the help!
