I am using Unity 5. There are 2 Buttons in a Canvas - YesButton & NoButton. I added only one script called "ButtonScript.cs" in both buttons as a component.
I need -
Debug.Log("Yes");Debug.Log("No");What should I write in my script?
There is many way to do that but i mostly use this one...
public void buttonDownEvent(BaseEventData eventData){
if (eventData.selectedObject == null)
return;
string textCheck = eventData.selectedObject.name;
switch (textCheck) {
case "Yes":
Debug.Log(textCheck); // OutPut is YES;
break;
case "NO":
Debug.Log(textCheck); // OutPut is NO;
break;
default:
break;
}
The easiest way to do this is have a parameter passed into the method you want to call OnClick, so in your ButtonScript.cs file - you can have something like this
public void ClickLog(string theWord)
{
Debug.Log(theWord);
}
When you attach this method to the OnClick of the buttons, you can input what you want to pass into the method through the editor.
In the case that the Buttons are being created in code - you can add parameters to OnClick events like so
//Button called newButton
UnityEngine.Events.UnityAction action1 = () => { ButtonScript.ClickLog("Yes"/*or "No"*/); };
newButton.onClick.AddListener(action1);
UnityAction like UnityAction<string>.There are many ways to solve this. First one is taht you can operate on Tags:
Debug.Log(gameObject.Tag == "YesButton" ? "Yes" : "No");
But (imo) dealing with tags is painfull so the easiest way would be to just make some enumeration (for future improvements like "Yes", "No", "Cancel" etc.)
public enum ButtonType : byte {
YES = 0,
NO = (1 << 0)
}
// inside your button code
[SerializeField]
ButtonType _myType;
public ButtonType Type { get { return _myType; } }
EDIT:
Usage with Unity's event
// inside ButtonScript.Start() or ButtonScript.Awake()
this/* Button */.onClick.AddListener(new UnityEngine.Events.UnityAction(ButtonClicked));
// and now make a new method inside ButtonScript
void ButtonClicked()
{
// method with tags:
Debug.Log(gameObject.Tag == "YesButton" ? : "Yes" : "No");
// method with enumeration:
Debug.Log(_myType.ToString());
}
