Add Delay to UIEventTrigger

[Unknowns]

Hi,

I have a script that controls all the buttons:

public void NameButon1 () {}
public void NameButton2 () {}
etc...

The Script work well, but when pressed directly loaded the scene, cutting the sound of the "click" and the "Tween Scale", these button are "UI2DSprite" controlled by a "UIEvent Trigger" How can add a delay to those "buttons" in "On Relase" for example?

Thanks!.

I'm not sure exactly what you mean, but if you're trying to load a scene at a button press, but want the animation and sound to finish before doing so, you could try an Update loop or a coroutine WaitForSeconds(); you can look up how to do coroutines in the Unity documentation. Although that might be a little elaborate for your needs.

The simpler solution might be the update loop. It's probably not ideal, since coroutines are probably more efficient, but it's easier to implement:

1. Update ()
2. {
3.    if (Time.time > nextTime)
4.    {
5.       Application.LoadLevel(levelToLoad);
6.    }
7. }
8.  
9. Button ()
10. {
11.    nextTime = Time.time + 1.0f; //delay in seconds
12.    levelToLoad = 0; //level you want to load
13. }
14.  

Just set your delay as long as you need to complete the tween and audio.

I try to explain a little more detailed, but is more or less as you say.

I have a  "ButtonControl" Script that I made to control all my buttons from a centralized location:

Example:

1. public void buttonPlay (){
2.  
3. Application.LoadLevel("Play");
4.  
5. }
6. public void buttonAbout (){
7.  
8. Application.LoadLevel("About");
9.  
10. }
11. public void buttonGooglePlus (){
12.  
13. Application.OpenURL("");
14.  
15. }

A "button" is composed by:



The "UIEventTrigger" - "On Release", notify to the  "ButtonControl" Script and  "SoundEffects" Script, the first do something (Load a level, open a url, etc...), the second play a "click" sound, but when is pressed the "Tween Scale" and the Sound are cut off, I want to add a delay to prevent this.

I know how to add the delay (Invoke, coroutine WaitForSeconds(); as you say, etc...),  but not how to keep control of all buttons in a single Script with these methods. (Not even know if it's possible.)

1. void OnClick()
2. {
3. Invoke("LoadNow", 0.5f); //time in seconds.
4. }
5.  
6. void LoadNow()
7. {
8. //do loading magic.
9. }
10.

You should be able to delay the commands in that script. Invoke(Application.LoadLevel("Play"), 1.0f); should work. You wouldn't need to move anything into separate scripts.

Thanks to you both.
