Maybe using somehow with IPointer[...]Handler interfaces ? Not sure. I have 3 GUI buttons and 3 GameObjects I want to interact with the buttons. The 3 GameObjects are: Robot Kyle , hero , AircraftJet
I have also a canvas and under it as children 3 buttons: Mouse Over , User Call , Allways On
In the Allways On button in the Inspector in the On Click I'm calling a method AllwaysOn and in the Mouse Over button I'm calling a method OnMouseOverMethod
And a script that is attached to the 3 GameObjects:
using UnityEngine;
using System.Collections;
using System.Collections.Generic;
public class OutlinedObject : MonoBehaviour
{
public Color outlineColor = Color.red;
//public enum OutlineMode { MouseOver, UserCall, AllwaysOn }
//public OutlineMode outlineMode = OutlineMode.MouseOver;
public bool flashing = false;
[Range(0.5f, 5)]
public float flashSpeed = 1.5f;
public float threshold = 1.0f;
float timeBlink, deltaRate;
Texture2D maskTexture, maskNone;
private List<Material> materials = new List<Material>();
bool ApplyEffect = true;
bool currentMode = false;
bool blinkMode = false;
float andThr;
Color outAnt;
private bool mouseOver = false;
void Awake()
{
materials.Clear();
maskTexture = new Texture2D(2, 2, TextureFormat.ARGB32, false);
outlineColor.a = 1.0f;
maskTexture.SetPixel(0, 0, outlineColor);
maskTexture.SetPixel(1, 0, outlineColor);
maskTexture.SetPixel(0, 1, outlineColor);
maskTexture.SetPixel(1, 1, outlineColor);
maskTexture.Apply();
foreach (Renderer rend in GetComponentsInChildren<Renderer>())
materials.Add(rend.material);
andThr = threshold;
outAnt = outlineColor;
maskNone = new Texture2D(2, 2, TextureFormat.ARGB32, false);
maskNone.SetPixel(0, 0, new Color(0, 0, 0, 0));
maskNone.SetPixel(1, 0, new Color(0, 0, 0, 0));
maskNone.SetPixel(0, 1, new Color(0, 0, 0, 0));
maskNone.SetPixel(1, 1, new Color(0, 0, 0, 0));
maskNone.Apply();
AllwaysOn();
/*if (outlineMode == OutlineMode.AllwaysOn)
ApplyEffect = true;
else
ApplyEffect = false;*/
}
void OnEnable()
{
if (ApplyEffect)
{
foreach (Material material in materials)
material.SetTexture("_SpriteMask", maskTexture);
}
else
{
foreach (Material material in materials)
material.SetTexture("_SpriteMask", maskNone);
}
foreach (Material material in materials)
material.SetFloat("_Threshold", threshold);
}
public void OnMouseEnter()
{
if (mouseOver == true)
ApplyEffect = true;
//if (outlineMode == OutlineMode.MouseOver)
// ApplyEffect = true;
}
public void UserCall(bool isOn)
{
ApplyEffect = isOn;
}
public void OnMouseExit()
{
if (mouseOver == true)
ApplyEffect = false;
//if (outlineMode == OutlineMode.MouseOver)
// ApplyEffect = false;
}
void LightOn()
{
if (currentMode)
return;
currentMode = true;
foreach (Material material in materials)
material.SetTexture("_SpriteMask", maskTexture);
}
void LightOff()
{
if (!currentMode)
return;
currentMode = false;
foreach (Material material in materials)
material.SetTexture("_SpriteMask", maskNone);
}
void Update()
{
if (flashing && ApplyEffect)
{
deltaRate = 1f / (2f * flashSpeed);
if (Time.time - timeBlink > deltaRate)
{
timeBlink = Time.time;
blinkMode = !blinkMode;
if (!blinkMode)
LightOff();
else
LightOn();
}
}
else
{
if (ApplyEffect)
LightOn();
else
LightOff();
}
if (andThr != threshold)
{
andThr = threshold;
foreach (Material material in materials)
material.SetFloat("_Threshold", threshold);
}
if (!outAnt.Equals(outlineColor))
{
outlineColor.a = 1.0f;
outAnt = outlineColor;
maskTexture.SetPixel(0, 0, outlineColor);
maskTexture.SetPixel(1, 0, outlineColor);
maskTexture.SetPixel(0, 1, outlineColor);
maskTexture.SetPixel(1, 1, outlineColor);
maskTexture.Apply();
foreach (Material material in materials)
material.SetTexture("_SpriteMask", maskTexture);
}
}
void OnDisable()
{
foreach (Material material in materials)
material.SetTexture("_SpriteMask", null);
}
public void AllwaysOn()
{
mouseOver = false;
ApplyEffect = !ApplyEffect;
}
public void OnMouseOverMethod()
{
mouseOver = true;
ApplyEffect = false;
}
}
On the script bottom there is the two methods I'm using in the buttons On Click events.
In this case I dragged over to the On Click in both buttons Allways On and Mouse Over the AircraftJet
Now when I'm clicking the buttons it's applying it only for the AircraftJet. And I want now to make that each GameObject for example the AircraftJet will have it's own buttons events something like enum.
In the script I used enum before but now I want to use canvas and gui buttons. The problem is that there is no gui enum.
In general what I want to do is somehow that I will be able to click on something and select for example the AircraftJet gameobject and then when clicking the buttons it will effect only the aircraft and if i will click on the hero and then the buttons it will effect only the hero. Something like enum idea.
