[Solved] GUI.Button...'which' mouse button clicked ?

if (GUI.Button (Rect (20,130,50,30), fortuneIcon)) {
Application.LoadLevel (4);
}


Looking through the GUI api, I don't see a way to grab the exact cause of the above event. I tried using Input.Mouse functions within the above snippet, but apparently GUI.Button eats the event. I also assume that the Event.* functions eat the event?

Anyone have any ideas on how to determine which mouse button caused the button click ? (without resorting to Rect checks + mouse events)

 

Hi, welcome to the forum!

Maybe you could use Input.GetMouseButton. This doesn't consume an event, but returns true as long as the button is down.

 

You could also do it manually, ie. check if mouse button has been clicked AND if the mouse is over the Rect used for displaying the button. If both conditions are true, that means your button has been clicked.

 

Thanks for the tips! I found out:

Code (csharp):

1.  
2. if  (GUI.Button (Rect (20,40,50,30), expertiseIcon)) {
3.     if (Event.current.button==0) {
4.         expertCount=expertCount+1;
5.         Debug.Log(expertCount);
6.     }
7.     if (Event.current.button==1) {
8.         expertCount=expertCount-1;
9.         Debug.Log(expertCount);
10.     }
11. }

The Event.current does what it sounds like . For some reason I was thinking it was looking at the next event in the queue.

Thanks, guys![/code]
