Making code change text on button click?

Scripting
1

It changes the text, how can I make it only run when a button is clicked?

using System.Collections;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using UnityEngine;
using UnityEngine.UI;
public class MoneyBtn : MonoBehaviour
{

    // Use this for initialization
    void Start()
    {
        var cash = 0;
        cash = cash + 1;
        GameObject.FindWithTag("MoneyTxt").GetComponent<Text>().text = "Hello";
    }
}

  • Make it a public method
  • Rename it something else
  • In te inspector go to the buttons OnClick event
  • Click the plus
  • Drag in the GameObject with this script on it
  • Choose your method from the dropdown menu

Let me know if you have any issues with this approach.

1.Public method Check
2.Renamed
3.
Went to onclick
4.(Script was already attached)
5.Script is attached to object already, should I move it?
6. Method doesn’t pop up…
Current Script:

using System.Collections;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using UnityEngine;
using UnityEngine.UI;
public class MoneyBtnScript : MonoBehaviour
{
    // Use this for initialization
    public void Start()
    {
        var cash = 0;
       
       
    }
    public void Click()
    {
        GameObject.FindWithTag("MoneyTxt").GetComponent<Text>().text = "Hello";
    
    }
}

The script needs to be attacfhed to your button OnClick event in the inspector then you select the click method there.

The Click function isn’t showing up…

6

Have you saved the above script?

You do need to attach the script to a gameobject and drag that gameobject into the buttons onclick event, then you can select the script and function.

If you are still stuck, pm me and I can help you over teamviwer if you like as I can’t sleep tonight anyway.

For clarification you need to drag and drop the GameObject into the OnClick event. Even if it’s on the same GameObject.

But sounds like you figured that out.
