How do I go about using Hit.Test?

Hi,

I have come across a problem…

I have an empty game object, with a GUI Texture for a button to shoot

I have another script that does shooting

So far, I can’t seem to use hit test to determine that Im pressing that button. If i tap the screen anywhere, the shooting works.

	void Update ()
	{
		Touch touch;

			if(Input.touchCount > 0)
			{
			touch = Input.touches[0];
			if (touch.phase == TouchPhase.Began) 
				targetTex.texture = hoverTex; //swap texture

				if(moveCtrl.facingRight)
				{
                                //shoot
				}
				else
				{
				//shoot
				}
			}


		if(Input.touchCount < 0)
		{
			touch = Input.touches[0];
			if (touch.phase == TouchPhase.Ended)
				targetTex.texture = normalTex; //swap texture back
			
		}

I tried using guiTexture.Hitest but then it was telling me there is no gui.texture present because I am using an empty game object to determine where I am shooting from

How will I go about this? Is there any other way to do this?

Thanks

Can you check this?

public GUITexture shootButton; // define your GUITexture from editor

if(shootButton.HitTest(touch.position))){ // add before   if (touch.phase == TouchPhase.Began) 
 //shoot
}
