If button highlighted
Hi there,
My question is a short one. I've been looking for a reference on a Canvas selectable button. The button itself does not call a function when clicked, it should just wait to see if it has been highlighted.
I have a script that was put directly on the button itself but I do not know how to write an "if statement" on "if this button is selected then.." in C#.
Add script containing this code to your Button:
using UnityEngine;
using UnityEngine.Events;
using UnityEngine.EventSystems;
public class YourScript : MonoBehaviour, IPointerEnterHandler, ISelectHandler
{
public void OnPointerEnter(PointerEventData eventData)
{
//do your stuff when highlighted
}
public void OnSelect(BaseEventData eventData)
{
//do your stuff when selected
}
}
Thank you very much it seemed to work using the mouse.. Though I do have one issue.
When I select the button using the navigation on the keyboard, it does not read as being highlighted because a pointer is not being used.
How would I go about reading if it is highlighted even without pointer?
Use OnPointerExit or OnDeselect for that. The EventTrigger article lists the various events you can intercept.
cant find any new info on this topic. OnPointerEnter() only works with the mouse.
How can I check if a button is highlighted while using keyboard navigation?
thank you
