Hierarchy Setup

---

1. Open the Prefabs > Core folder
2. Make a prefabs/assets folder in your Unity project
3. Add the GUI.prefab file to that folder
4. Drop that prefab into your scene

If done correctly you should have a prefab with a bunch of broken links but its hierarchy setup like the following:

HealthBar

---

Tag: UIHealthbar

Layer: UI

Healthbar Hierarchy:

The only script is used by GUI > Healthbar > Mask > RedBar

• UIHealthBarManager

Inventory

---

Tag: UIInventory

Layer: UI

Hierarchy Setup:

The GUI > Inventory > Box gameobject is simply where I design my UI box. This can be completely removed if you like and isn't required for anything.

However, the "icons" and "text" gameobjects must be setup like this exactly! The "icons" and "text" gameobject are just holders. "icon1" - "icon5" all just have the UIImage component on them. "text1" - "text5" have a UIText and "InventoryText" Script on them. The inventory text's "Button To Show" should be set to the text number. So "text1" should have "Button To Show" set to "Inventory Slot 1" and 2 set to "Inventory Slot 2" etc.
