How to create a collapsing sidebar in Unity
This tutorial explains how to create two kinds of collapsing sidebars in Unity: A standalone version overlaying a game world and one working inside a greater layout. These are great for menus and show or hide labels based on if your player still requires them. This tutorial uses the Unity UGUI system and while I am using Unity 6, it works well on older versions of Unity, too.
