Using UIEventTrigger to get mouse down on button

[poolts]

Hi,

I'm using an EventDelegate to subscribe to an onPress event, but it only seems to be for the initial press (on frame). How do I use the EventDelegate to invoke the method whilst the button is being pressed as opposed to just the initial press?

1. EventDelegate.Add(m_decreasePriceButtonTrigger.onPress, HandleDecreasePriceButtonPressed);

I've read you can use OnPress() attached to the same GO as your button, but I really want to just have a reference to the button in another script (not on the GO of the button).

Thanks for any help

Inside the HandleDecreasePriceButtonPressed:

1. void HandleDecreasePriceButtonPressed (bool isPressed)
2. {
3.     if (isPressed) StartCoroutine("DoStuff");
4.     else StopCoroutine("DoStuff");
5. }
6.  
7. IEnumerator DoStuff()
8. {
9.     for (;;)
10.     {
11.         // do something here
12.         yield return null;
13.     }
14. }

Hi Aren,

I tried to change the method signature of HandleDecreasePriceButtonPressed() to include the bool isPressed, but I didn't think EventDelegate methods could have params?

It gives an error to say the method signature is incorrect.

If I need to add that method call inside the HandleDecreasePriceButtonPressed() I don't understand where the EventDelegate gets the bool isPressed from.

Thanks for the help.

Don't use an EventDelegate in this case. use UIEventListener.Get(targetGameObject).onPress += HandleDecreasePriceButtonPressed;
