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.

 

Thanks bro that helped a lot!
