Can I detect a doubleclick on a Gizmo or GameObject?
Simple problem. I want to perform an action when a Gizmo (or the GameObject) is double clicked. Is there any way to watch for that event? I'd rather not build something that listens to the input for clicks and registers the space between them, but that seems like an option. Anything better?
So I think the closest thing is to use the Event system, specifically the Event.current.button I'm writing my own function to track the doubleclick, and I have it in the
void OnDrawGizmoSelected()
function so it only runs when my gizmo/gameobject is the current selection.
I just randomly came up with a solution and I don't know if it's the best but I'll share it anyway.
Each time a click is registered, you start a timer if a timer isn't already running. The time is set beforehand for the double click time. This timer will stop when the double click window time is gone. Set a boolean saying the timer is no longer running.
Each time a click is registered, you also check if there's a timer running. If a timer is running, call what happens for a double click.
Of course, this is completely reusable. You can call this separate script from elsewhere.
Right. I appreciate the answer. I get that. I've done that before to make double clicks. I was just wondering how to read a click in the editor, or read a double click if it's possible.
I believe the closest thing I can do is write my own double click routine (using timers), and use the Event.current.buttoncommand to read the clicks.
