Calling a function through EventTrigger does not loop.

Questions & Answers

Hello, I am calling a function through the new Unity UI system but it is not looping my function. I have attached my game object to the event trigger and the function I am calling is “TurnLeft”.
I am using the On Pointer Down event so it should play continuously.

Here is the function as well. I am trying to make my character rotate using the new UI system. Please help, I can’t seem to find the solution.

function TurnLeft(){
 transform.Rotate(Vector3(0,-1,0)*turnSpeed* Time.deltaTime);
 
 }

OnPointerDown is essentially the same as GetKeyDown, in that it only triggers when the key is initially pressed.
To loop this, I’d suggest having the OnPointerDown switch on a boolean. Something along these lines:

var turn : boolean;

function Update(){
       if(turn){
              TurnLeft();
       }
}

function Turn(which : boolean){
       turn = which;
}

function TurnLeft(){
  transform.Rotate(Vector3(0,-1,0)*turnSpeed* Time.deltaTime);
  
  }

And then have your OnPointerDown call the Turn() function, specifying if you want it on or not.
