Title: Limit how often a button is clicked...
Post by: Rooster on October 19, 2013, 03:34:24 AM

As the title says, I was wondering if there is a way to limit how fast a player can click a ui button.  My ngui button works fine, but my gameplay mechanics go out the window if I sit there and spam that button as fast as I can, for as long as it takes.  I thought maybe a minimum time between clicks would slow the whole thing down. Thanks.

You can use a timer, please take a look at an example here:

Or you can use StartCoroutine by turn a boolean to true or false

Depends on the design, of course, but you could consider hiding the button while it's unclickable. Make it unclickable by just removing it, and reactivating with a Coroutine or in an update loop.
