C# OnPointerEnter and OnPointerExit (the latter not working!)
(Using Oculus and NewtonVR) I have a button which when you look at it it starts a timer (which displays as text UI objects) using OnPointerEnter. I want it to stop that timer when you look away, so I tried OnPointerExit but it's not working! Any idea why or any better/other ways of implementing this? The timer works and starts only when you look at it. Sorry about my disgusting variables!
using System.Collections;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using UnityEngine;
using UnityEngine.Events;
using UnityEngine.EventSystems;
using UnityEngine.UI;
public class Timer : MonoBehaviour, IPointerEnterHandler
{
int minutes = 0;
int seconds = 0;
int minutes10 = 0;
int seconds10 = 0;
public Text minutesText;
public Text secondsText;
public Text minutes10Text;
public Text seconds10Text;
public GameObject minutesObject;
public GameObject secondsObject;
public GameObject minutes10Object;
public GameObject seconds10Object;
bool pointerEntered = false;
bool coroutineFinished = true;
private void Start()
{
minutesText = minutesObject.GetComponent<Text>();
secondsText = secondsObject.GetComponent<Text>();
minutes10Text = minutes10Object.GetComponent<Text>();
seconds10Text = seconds10Object.GetComponent<Text>();
}
public void OnPointerEnter(PointerEventData eventData)
{
pointerEntered = true;
}
public void OnPointerExit(PointerEventData eventData)
{
pointerEntered = false;
}
void Update()
{
if (pointerEntered && coroutineFinished)
{
coroutineFinished = false;
StartCoroutine(Pause());
}
}
IEnumerator Pause()
{
yield return new WaitForSeconds(1.0f);
if (seconds == 9)
{
seconds10++;
seconds = 0;
if (seconds10 == 6)
{
minutes++;
seconds10 = 0;
if (minutes == 10)
{
minutes10++;
minutes = 0;
}
}
}
else
{
seconds++;
}
minutesText.text = minutes.ToString();
secondsText.text = seconds.ToString();
minutes10Text.text = minutes10.ToString();
seconds10Text.text = seconds10.ToString();
coroutineFinished = true;
}
}
You don't implement the IPointerExit interface.
Beat me to it. But yes, at the top of your class you need to add IPointerExitHandler after the IPointerEnterHandler.

What do you mean sorry? I added a boolean pointerEntered which should mean that the coroutine should only run if pointerEntered is true. How come it's not working?
In your class definition public class Timer : $$anonymous$$onoBehaviour, IPointerEnterHandler you implement the IPointerEnterHandler. You need to change that line to this: public class Timer : $$anonymous$$onoBehaviour, IPointerEnterHandler, IPointerExitHandler.
