    Hi,

    How to use the New UI for implementing an onscreen shoot button for mobile?

    Do I need to use UI button or Event trigger?

    Is there any sample assets available?

    It depends on what you want. but from the little detail you gave my guess is a UI button would be what you want ("shoot button")

    Ya, I want a on Screen button to shoot when click it. Its for mobile device.
    Say I am enabling isShoot to true if I am pressing it.
    What event should I use?
    OnClick or Event trigger..
    The button shouldnt get spammed if i hold on it.
