Detecting mouse click on a canvas UI button?

Unity Engine
1

I have a script inside of the button that’s on a canvas. How can I execute some code or call a function when it is clicked?

In the inspector, you can set the buttons OnClick to a specific void, for example

publib Void buttonClick()
{
  // do something
}

attach the script to a button or empty game object, assign the button onclick to it then select the void you want to excecute

You can also use the interfaces to manually do this.
