Events triggered by button pressed.
I need a script that activates when a button is pressed. The context in which I would use this is for a flashlight for a first person discovory/exploration type game where the player has to walk in a dark environment using a flashlight by pressing the left mouse button. I am learning how to script from nothing so any advice on a proper learning path would be much appreciated!
Input has to be checked every frame in Update. There are different functions available. Some just return the state of a button (down or up) some will return true only the frame a button has been pressed down or up. Buttons have to be defined in the input manager.
There are also functions for reading certain keyboard-keys
In general just look into the scripting reference
A script that toggles a light could look like this:
// UnityScript (Unity's Javascript)
function Update()
{
if (Input.GetMouseButtonDown(0)) // 0 - left button; 1 - right button; 2 - middle button
{
light.enabled = !light.enabled;
}
}
Make sure you attach this script to a GameObject that has a Light component attached ;)
The same script in C#:
// C#
// FlashLightControl.cs
using UnityEngine;
public class FlashLightControl : MonoBehaviour
[
void Update()
{
if (Input.GetMouseButtonDown(0))
{
light.enabled = !light.enabled;
}
}
}
Thank you, it works perfectly!
