Box Shape for the Dynamic Origin behavior on the On-Screen Stick.

[harry1o7]

Description

This change affects the dynamic origin system for the on-screen stick.

The dynamic origin joystick is intended for mobile use, and in most games that use it (think Rocket League: Sideswipe, or Minecraft), the area of its use is on the left side of the screen.

However, in the current version, the stick can only use a circle as a dynamic origin area.

Now, users can use a RectTransform component on a GameObject to perfectly match half the screen, as well as any other box users want.

An added benefit is the fact that RectTransforms can be anchored and resized according to the window size.

Changes made

On Screen Stick component options changed to accommodate the extra feature.

You can place a RectTransform into the Origin Transform component field to use a box shaped area.

Notes

No gizmo for the shape of the RectTransform yet. However, clicking on the GameObject that holds the RectTransform will show a gizmo anyway.

The circle dynamic origin shape (the original one) does not update to accommodate for changing window sides. This is an issue because mobile devices are some of the most variable device proportions.

Since this is my first contribution to any GitHub repo ever, I'm not 100% sure of a lot of this stuff.
At what point can this get reviewed? Do I have to run these Yamato tests, or are they automatic?
Is this PR even eligible to get reviews yet? Are the build tests supposed to take weeks, or are they running at all?

Sorry, not sure what I need to do, or if it's just too early still. I'd definitely like to get feedback at some point, and maybe at some point have it get merged.

Hi @harry1o7 , thank you for your contribution.

At what point can this get reviewed?

We are a small team so I cannot say for sure. We are now trying to look at some of the pull requests created by external contributors once every month. But this doesn't necessarily mean that yours will be reviewed by then.

You don't need to run the Yamato tests. These will be run internally by us.
The PR is eligible for review the moment is created. The Yamato tests don't run for contributors, only for our internal team.

For now, you don't need to do anything. Just wait for our review. In the meanwhile, if you need these changes in the package, just use the forked repository where you introduced the changes.
