Limitations

Current known Surfer limitations :


UIToolkit

  • Support only from Unity 2021.2 or newer
  • While some features are available (UI States Management,Scenes Management,Custom Reactions/Conditions/Events,Orientation & UI Events,Tooltip,Basic Animations) , there are others currently work in progress therefore not yet available : Safe Area Manager, Drag States, Selection Indicator, Health Bars, On/Off Screen Indicators, Theme Manager, Text animations (3rd party integrations), Split screen support , Groups , History focus, Tutorial "Click Constraint" , Loading_Image element type


Canvas

  • If a UI object is persistent ( is not destroyed when a new scene is loaded ) the SUElementCanvas Scene events like MySceneLoaded , MySceneLoading, MySceneUnloading, MySceneUnloaded, MySceneActivated, MySceneDeactivated don't work : use events like Awakeor Startwhenever possible.
  • Selection Indicators don't work when the selected object under a Canvas is a Sprite or a Mesh
  • Selection Indicators always render in front of the selected UI object , not behind.
  • Nested GroupStates are currently not supported
  • When using GroupStates it is recommended to use the Start to call Surfer logic like OpenState, because in the Awake GroupStatesare setup

Both

  • Animations and other position-related logics do not support Orientation change at runtime from portrait to landscape and viceversa.
