Help with enabling and disabling mouse input

Hello, I am making a quiz game and I made it so that score is added every time you click on the right answer but I have found out that you can click multiple times before the time between questions run out and get more points that you are supposed to.

I was thinking of disabling the mouse input when the player clicks on a button and enable it when scores are added or subtracted. I have no idea how to disable and enable mouse input though can someone help me with this?

 

You can disable your mouse with the following:

Code (csharp):

1. Cursor.lockState = CursorLockMode.Locked;
2. Cursor.visible = false;

but i would disable the button (not the mouse) if the answer was correct:

Code (csharp):

1.  answerButton.interactable = false;

 

Thank you for the reply, there are multiple answer buttons I don't know how to reference them all.

 

Does a button know if it is an answer button ? If yes, put a reference of that button into the script which is attached to the button and set the button via inspector, then disable it, after it was clicked. So each (answer) button handles itself.

 

Code (CSharp):

1.  
2.  
3. public Button[] answerButtons;
4.  
5. private void Start()
6. {
7.     int currentButtonID = 0;
8.  
9.     foreach (Button answerButton in answerButtons)
10.     {
11.         answerButton.onClick.AddListener(DoSomethingAfterPlayerHasPressedButton(currentButtonID));
12.         currentButtonID++;
13.     }
14. }
15.  
16. private void DoSomethingAfterPlayerHasPressedButton(int answerButtonID)
17. {
18.     AnswerButtonToggleInteractable(false);
19.  
20.     // calculate score/do something?
21.  
22.     if (answerButtonID == 4)
23.     {
24.         CorrectAnswer();
25.     }
26.     else
27.     {
28.         IncorrectAnswer();
29.     }
30.  
31.     AnswerButtonToggleInteractable(true);
32. }
33.  
34. private void AnswerButtonToggleInteractable(bool value)
35. {
36.     foreach (Button answerButton in answerButtons)
37.     {
38.         answerButton.interactable = value;
39.     }
40. }
41.  
42.
