How do I get PointerEventData from a pointer click event? (on a Button)

When I add an Event Trigger component to a Button, then click "Add New Event Type" -> "Pointer Click", it adds "Pointer Click (Base Event Data)" but I need PointerEventData (because I want to know if it was a left-click or right-click). I created a script with two methods:

public void OnPointerClickWithPointerData(PointerEventData data){

Debug.Log (data.button);​

}
public void OnPointerClickWithBaseData(BaseEventData data){

Debug.Log (data);​

}​

but only OnPointerClickWithBaseData shows up as an option in the function dropdown.

Thanks in advance, and sorry for what I assume MUST be something really obvious, but it's been killing me for hours.

 

Try accepting the base data as the parameter and then casting the base data like this:

Code (CSharp):

1. public void OnPointerClickWithBaseData(BaseEventData data){
2.    PointerEventData ped = ( PointerEventData )data;
3. }

 

Thank you, casimps1, SO much! Worked perfectly.
