I’m having a problem with repeat buttons, currently i’m working on a touch interface for a racing game, basically i have 3 buttons, onefor braking, and the other 2 are for turning, to make it work i create a script with other variables for the main script.

The problem is, i have 2 buttons that work, and the 3rd just don’t, please help me with this script

var freio:Texture;
var direita:Texture;
var esquerda:Texture;

function Start()
{
touch.vertical = 1.0;
}

function OnGUI()
{
//freiar (works)      
           if(GUI.RepeatButton(new Rect(0,0,50,30), freio)){
     	touch.vertical = -1.0;
     	}
     	else
     	{
     	touch.horizontal = 1.0;
         }

//esquerda (don't work)      
           if(GUI.RepeatButton(new Rect(100,0,50,30), esquerda)){
     	touch.horizontal = -1.0;
     	}
     	else
     	{
     	touch.horizontal = 0.0;
         }
         
//direita (works)
             if(GUI.RepeatButton(new Rect(50,0,50,30), direita)){
     	touch.horizontal = 1.0;
     	}
     	else
     	{
     	touch.horizontal = 0.0;
         }
         }
     
  
Thanks in Advance.

The best way to figure out issues like this – assuming the solution doesn’t jump out at you – is to set a breakpoint in the code that SHOULD work, but doesn’t. When the debugger breaks, step through and see why your value isn’t sticking. So for your issue, set a breakpoint on the line that reads

touch.horizontal = -1.0;

Here are step-by-step instructions for debugging in Unity. This is an important skill to add to anyone’s arsenal. http://docs.unity3d.com/Documentation/Manual/Debugger.html

Give this a shot and see if you can get to the bottom of your problem. If you get stuck, come back here and I’ll get you closer.
