Click event doesn't trigger when clicking

Question

I've made some buttons on my screen to navigate to other scenes of my Unity project but the Click(string command) method doesn't trigger. I've placed a breakpoint on the bold line in code below, but the pointer never hits that point.

public class GameNavigation : MonoBehaviour
{
    public void Click(string command)
    {
        switch (command)
        {
            case "again":
                Application.LoadLevel(Application.loadedLevel);
                break;

            case "go_to_menu":
                Application.LoadLevel("Navigation");
                break;

            default:
                break;
        }
    }
}

Here are also some screenshots form my Unity project.

What did I wrong?

Note one: I've made also this code that is called after the scene ends. the parameter command is always an empty string.

public void RestartLevel(string command)
{
    switch (command)
    {
        case "again":
            Application.LoadLevel(Application.loadedLevel);
            break;

        case "go_to_menu":
            Application.LoadLevel("Navigation");
            break;

        default:
            break;
    }
}

If I place it in a comment, I get this error:

'Player' AnimationEvent 'RestartLevel' has no receiver! Are you missing a component?

Note two: I also use a mouse down event for when the player must shoot.

Update one: by a comment below I've made this code:

public Button btnAgain;
public Button btnMenu;

public void Start()
{
    btnAgain.onClick.AddListener(() => {
        Application.LoadLevel(Application.loadedLevel);
    });

    btnMenu.onClick.AddListener(() => {
        Application.LoadLevel("Navigation");
    });
}

The Start() method is always called, no problems with it. But the Application.LoadLevel(...) code never executes when I click on the methods. However btnMenu and btnAgain aren't null.

Update two: I've upload a zip file on my SharePoint that you can access. Start a game and choose level 01. You navigating to a new scene. On that scene you have on the right below side you have two buttons, these are the buttons that doesn't work. If you can find the problem, please give me the solving of the problem. Other bug fixes are also welcome. 😉

Answer 1

Here's the process to figuring out what's causing the issue.

1. Confirm that the Clicked method is run. I suggest just putting a Debug.Log() statement there. Debug.Log(command); would be perfect, because it also lets you know the command.
2. If your Click method isn't being run, most likely something else is taking that click. Look for other objects that might be intercepting the click in front of it (Might not be visible).
3. If the correct command is received, then you should probably use .equals() for comparison. For instance, command.equals("again")
4. You might consider using separate functions for each. There's a proposal to use enums, but so far as I know, that's not accepted yet.
