Changing Texture on Button Press

[vorpalmusic]

Hello.

I'm trying to create a weapon-choosing interface, in which a large button shows and icon for the currently selected weapon, and then when clicked, changes to the next weapon in line from a list of available weapons. So I want the button to show one texture and then show another when clicked.

I have succeeded in getting it to receive a new texture setting, but the button does not update, and still renders the old texture.

I did something like this:

    void OnButton() {
        UISprite button = GameObject.Find("Background").GetComponent<UISprite>();
        button.spriteName = "chestActive";
    }

The texture changes in the Inspector but not in rendering. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Not sure what OnButton() is. NGUI has OnClick().

OnButton is the function called by UIButtonMessage when the button is clicked.

I've already described how the texture name changes in the inspector, so the problem is not that the function is not being called.

NGUI tries to keep draw calls to a minimum, so you may have to explicitly tell the panel to redraw your sprite. Try this after you change the texture:

1. button.MarkAsChanged();
