I’m using unity 4.6 and I would like to access the button component of a button so I can set it’s interactable bool in it when the game reaches certain conditions but there does not seem to be a Button class that I can access so I cannot get a reference to the button. Does anyone know how to access the button component?

You need to import UnityEngine.UI in addition to UnityEngine to see the Button class in auto-completion.

interactable is a member of UI.Selectable attach the following to your button to have debug display its state:

using UnityEngine;

using UnityEngine.UI;

public class interactTest : MonoBehaviour {

  Selectable button;

  void OnEnable () {
    button = gameObject.GetComponent<Selectable>();
    Debug.Log(button.interactable.ToString());
  }
}
