First Selected not working when activating buttons

I have a button gameobject in the scene that pops up a UI when it's collided with.
The problem is when using a controller the new input system wont let me switch between buttons.

I have a property in a script attached to the UI object that has a variable to the event system that assigns the left button as the first selected game object when the item is collided with, but that didn't help.



Currently I have to press the submit before I can chose between UI buttons.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!!!!

 

had to use setselected on the event system

 

Had the same problem, Thank you!

 

Thanks for the hint, Here's the script I use (just put it on the canvas that's parent to all the selectables (buttons etc) in the UI)

Code (CSharp):

1. using System.Collections.Generic;
2. using UnityEngine;
3. using UnityEngine.UI;
4. using UnityEngine.EventSystems;
5.  
6. public class SelectionUI : MonoBehaviour
7. {
8.     [Header("_____ Visible For Debugging _____")]
9.     public EventSystem EventSystem;
10.     public List<Selectable> Selectables = new List<Selectable>();
11.  
12.     private void Start()
13.     {
14.         EventSystem = FindObjectOfType<EventSystem>(true);
15.         GetChildSelectables();
16.     }
17.     private void Update()
18.     {
19.         if (EventSystem.currentSelectedGameObject != null && EventSystem.currentSelectedGameObject.activeInHierarchy)
20.         {
21.             return;
22.         }
23.         else
24.         {
25.             foreach (var item in Selectables)
26.             {
27.                 if (item.isActiveAndEnabled)
28.                 {
29.                     EventSystem.SetSelectedGameObject(item.gameObject);
30.                     Debug.Log("Selected: " + item.name);
31.                     return;
32.                 }
33.             }
34.         }
35.     }
36.     [ContextMenu("GetChildSelectables")]
37.     public void GetChildSelectables()
38.     {
39.         Selectables.Clear();
40.         Selectables.AddRange(gameObject.GetComponentsInChildren<Selectable>(true));
41.     }
42. }
