Revive `SoftMask.alpha` option #172

Closed SeanNi1221 closed 1 month ago

SeanNi1221 commented 1 month ago

My project relies heavily on the SoftMask.alpha property in SoftMask 1.x version. This property is removed in 2.0.0 and I didn' find an alternative.

This property is very useful and convenient since I don't have to iterate through each graphic child (numerous, spawned at runtime) to calculate and set there alphas one by one. I'm so confused why you removed it?

Thank you for your reporting! Hmmm...you're right. I will revive that option in the near future!

@SeanNi1221 From my development note (2022): SoftMask.alpha is obsolete because it can be replaced by CanvasGroup.alpha. I am working on the following:

Add CanvasGroup and set CanvasGroup.alpha to m_Alpha
- ProjectSettings > UI > SoftMask > v2 Asset Modification
SoftMask.alpha gets/set own CanvasGroup.alpha
m_Alpha is not visible in the inspector

Sorry, the idea of the modification has changed:

SoftMask.m_Alpha is obsolete because it can be replaced by Graphic.color.a.
Set own Graphic.color.a to m_Alpha when upgrading assets.
- ProjectSettings > UI > SoftMask > Upgrade All Assets V1 to V2
SoftMask.alpha will get/set its own Graphic.color.a
m_Alpha will be not visible in the inspector
