On Hover not working properly

[jrush64]

Hi,

I'm new to NGUI. I'm trying to make a sound play when my mouse hovers over an object. I got it working in a way. When the mouse is over the object, the sound doesn't play however when I move the mouse away from the object the sound plays.

This is the code I'm using.

1. void Update()
2. {
3.  
4.                         if (UICamera.hoveredObject == UserName)
5.                                 OnHover (true);
6.                         if (UICamera.hoveredObject == Password)
7.                                 OnHover (true);
8.                         if (UICamera.hoveredObject == SaveCheckbox)
9.                                 OnHover (true);
10. }
11.  
12. void OnHover(bool isOver)
13.                 {
14.                         if (isOver) {
15.                                 HoverSound.Play ();
16.                         }
17.                         else
18.                         {
19.                                 HoverSound.Play ();
20.                         }
21.                 }

You should do it in a completely different way. Put an UIEventTrigger script on each of the GameObjects you need to trigger the hovering sound on.
It has an OnHoverOver event. It should point to another script containing a simple function that plays the sound.

Having an Update() function that checks for the hovered object is a very wrong way to do it. NGUI sends out an OnHover event to your widgets with a collider automatically. There is no need for that Update function.
