Change Button Text ?

Hi,

i have a script on my camera which moves the camera to a specific position.
when i klick a button in my game i want to start the movement and change the button text from "move in" to "move out" then the camera ride is over.

I tried to change the text from within the camera script but i just cant access the button text.
In general, is it a good idea to access the button text from within the camera or are there better ways?
How can i change the button text after something happened and change it to something different after clicking it again?

 

Ah, after trying so much its that easy...

Code (csharp):

1. GameObject.Find("buttonName").GetComponentInChildren<Text>().text = "la di da";

 

Thanks.

 

And if you run into "The type or namespace name 'Text' could not be found" - add

Code (CSharp):

1. using UnityEngine.UI;
2.  

(found in https://forum.unity.com/threads/unity-4-6-ui-text-could-not-bet-found.288712/#post-1905530 )

 

thanks @dichterDichter it works well
but i also want to change the color and font of text can anyone help me out

 

bless you for this. Spent a 1/2 hour searching, searching, searching

 

Dude, how do you know what to put?(buttonName)

 

the name of the button in your scene if you didnt change the name its called Button

 

thankuuuu u literally saves me

 

cant we do it from unity itself???

 

I was able to change the button text in Unity by clicking the down arrow next to "Button" in the Hierarchy menu on the lefthand side of my screen. Once I clicked the down arrow the word "Text" appeared and on the right hand side of my screen in the Inspector. I was then able to edit the text/font/size/color. I hope this helps!

 

This is what i have been looking for THANK YOU!

 

Yes, we can do that from the engine. However, the poster was asking how to change it in a script.

 

thank you!
