Assigning two function to a GUI button?

Questions & Answers
1

Hello everyone,

I’m trying to animate or move a switch button in my game scene. So when I hit my “GUI on/off button” it makes the “3d on/off button in orange” change the position to ON.

But I want to hit the same button, the “GUI on/off button” to change to the original position to OFF.

Now I can move the 3d on/off button to the ON position when I hit the GUI on/off button. But I can’t move it back to the position OFF.

Please take a look to my video and my scripts.

Any advice is greatly appreciated

Switch Script

var smooth = 1;
var on : Transform;
 

 	function Update () {
	
	if(buttonsGUI.onGo ==1){
    
    transform.position = Vector3.Lerp (transform.position, on.position, Time.deltaTime * smooth);
 
}
}

GUI On/Off Switch Script

static var onGo : int;

var Skin_power : GUISkin; var beep : AudioClip;

function OnGUI (){

    GUI.skin = Skin_power;
    if (GUI.Button(Rect(870,227,80,56),"")){
    audio.PlayOneShot(beep);
    onGo = 1;

    }
}

I am not sure if I understood your question correctly, but if I have, could this be a solution?

static var onGo : int;
var Skin_power : GUISkin; var beep : AudioClip;
var switchedOn : boolean = false;


function OnGUI()
{
    GUI.skin = Skin_power;
    if (GUI.Button(Rect(870,227,80,56),"") && !switchedOn)
``  {
         // switch on do your stuff..
         audio.PlayOneShot(beep);
         onGo = 1;
         switchedOn = true;
    }
    else if (GUI.Button(Rect(870,227,80,56),"") && switchedOn)
``  {
         // switch off do your stuff..
         switchedOn = false;
    }

}

Ok, I looked at this again, and even though I agree with @eXtremeTY, I would do it like this.
Use this for your button code:

var Skin_power : GUISkin;
var beep : AudioClip;

function OnGUI() {
    GUI.skin = Skin_power;
    if(GUI.Button(Rect(870,227,80,56),"")) {
    	audio.PlayOneShot(beep);
    	buttonSlide();
    }
}

Then use this for your movement:
var onGo = true;
var smooth = 1;
var on : Transform;
var off : Transform;

function buttonSlide() {

	if(onGo) {
		transform.position = Vector3.Lerp (transform.position, on.position, Time.deltaTime * smooth);
		onGo = !onGo;
	}
	else {
		transform.position = Vector3.Lerp (transform.position, off.position, Time.deltaTime * smooth);
		onGo = !onGo;
	}
}

Now you will need to pass in another transform with this method, for your initial position, so it knows where to move. I would probably move the audio code into the buttonSlide function as well. Also, if you use a GUIButton, it’s better to create a function, rather than use the update function, as this just wastes CPU cycles checking stuff in the update, when you know you only want it done when the button is pressed.
