How to press a 3D button with Mouse Click.

Questions & Answers
1

At the moment, I have a some gates (RightDoor, LeftDoor) that play an opening animation when you click on the screen, but would like to make it so that you have to click on a button (Trigger) to open the gates. Do I need to use raycast? If so, how would I implement that? I’m quite new to all this!

(I’ve also locked the mouse to the center of the screen already).

Here is the script I’m using:

(This is attached to my button and the button plays a short animation to show that it is pressed)

var opened = false;


function Update()
{


	if (Input.GetButtonDown("Fire1"))
	{	
		if(opened == false)
		{
		gameObject.Find("LeftDoor").GetComponent(Animation).animation.Play("New Animation2");
		gameObject.Find("RightDoor").GetComponent(Animation).animation.Play("New Animation");
		gameObject.Find("Trigger").GetComponent(Animation).animation.Play("ButtonPress");
		
		opened = true;
		}
	}
}

Did you try that?

//Inside game object script
void  OnMouseOver()
{
   if (Input.GetMouseButtonDown(0))
   {
      //Do action...  
   }
}
