I have a situation where I want an event to fire repeatably when the user’s finger is “down”… While the PointerDown EventTrigger looked promising, it turns out that it only fires once. I was able to accomplishes this type of behavior previously by simply checking for Input.GetButton(“Fire1”) in the Update loop.
Can this be accomplished using the new UI system and Buttons?
thx
You could set a boolean to true OnPointerDown and false OnPointerUp.
If you check that in the Update loop you get that behavior.
Thanks for the suggestion. It just seems weird that with all this cool new UI stuff that I have to write code like this. I get it, very straight forward but my excitement with the new stuff is that a lot of this code goes away… I think there might be a gap here…
Thanks again for your reply
