Text on UI Button Not Updating
Hi there,
I have a button that's suppose to toggle between a map editor and the game state. The button correctly toggles the game state, but it does not correctly update the text on the button. Yet if I debug the button text...it shows that it should have changed. I have absolutely no idea what to do here. Code:
[SerializeField] Button mapEditorButton = default;
string mapEditorButtonLabel;
private void Start()
{
mapEditorButtonLabel = mapEditorButton.GetComponentInChildren<Text>().text;
}
public void ToggleMapEditor() {
bool mapEditorActive = Game.Instance.GetInputState().GetType() == typeof(InputEditorDefault);
if (mapEditorActive) {
mapEditorButtonLabel = "Open Map Editor";
Game.Instance.PopInputState();
}
else {
mapEditorButtonLabel = "Return to Game";
Game.Instance.LaunchMapEditor();
}
Debug.Log(mapEditorButtonLabel);
Debug.Log(Game.Instance.GetInputState().GetType());
}
The button eternally shows the placeholder text I have for it, despite the following output:
I am using 2019.2.6f1 personal :)
Figured it out. Apparently you cannot cache properties as variables, so having mapEditorButtonLabel be a string and assigning Button.Text.text to it is invalid. Changed it to Text = mapEditorButtonLabel, and assigned mapEditorButton.GetComponentInChildren<Text>() to it, and then did the assignment through mapEditorButtonLabel.text = foo
