Title: How to check if Button is clicked from main script?
Post by: alenb on July 17, 2012, 08:20:09 PM

Hi All,

Instead of having individual scripts for each NGUI Button I would like to simply reference the button from my main script and check if it has been clicked. Is such a thing possible? I've been banging my head against the table for a day and a half and I cannot for the life of me find any option that allows me to do such a thing.

Please if anyone has any ideas let me know.


Thank you =)

Of course. Use the UIEventListener.Get(buttonGameObject).onClick += YourClickCallback;

in this case, which is the preferable usage or gives better performance?

UIEventListener.Get(buttonGameObject).onClick += YourClickCallBack

or

setting the button to have a UIButtonMessage script and call YourClickCallBack?

From a performance standpoint

UIEventListener.Get(buttonGameObject).onClick += YourClickCallBack

is faster and UIButtonMessage uses SendMessage which is slower then directly calling the function.

If you've done it the other way i would say leave it unless your really looking for something to do. Its not THAT much worse...
