How to trigger a button as soon as it's tapped/pressed instead of on release?

    OnClick only triggers if a button is pressed and released with the cursor (or finger) still over the button. To avoid this buggy looking situation, I'd like to trigger the button as soon as it's pressed/tapped. How can I achieve this?

    OnMouseDown does not work.

    Thanks. :)

    Add an 
    Event Trigger
    to your button object and add the event type 
    Pointer Down
    there.
    You may exchange the 
    Button
    Component with a 
    Selectable
    Component since you do not need the callback of the button anymore.
