bassically i have a button and when its clicked i want to find the name of the button and set the Selectedobject variable, but im not sure how to approach this

using System.Collections;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using UnityEngine;

public class setSeletedObject : MonoBehaviour {

    public string SelectedObject:

	// Use this for initialization
	void Start () {
		
	}
	
	// Update is called once per frame
	void Update () {
		
	}

   SetSelectedObject();{
        SelectedObject = ;
    }
}

You could have SetSelectedObject take a string argument, and then set the Button’s onClick function to pass the string you want. Its not a super robust way of doing this but it would work.

A minor build on this would be to have SetSelectedObject take a GameObject argument and just reference its name in the function. This way if you change the button’s name, you don’t have to change it in both places.
