Buttons

Buttons provided by Unity's UI system are graphical objects that preutilize the Event System we covered in the last chapter. When a Button is placed in a scene, it automatically has components added to it that allow the player to interact with it. This makes sense, because the whole point of a button is to interact with it.

In this chapter, we will discuss the following topics:

  • Creating UI Buttons and setting their properties
  • How to set button transitions that make the button change appearance when it is highlighted, pressed, or disabled
  • Navigating button selection on screen with the keyboard or joystick
  • How to create an onscreen button that looks like it is physically being pressed
  • How to create buttons that swap images without using the built-in transitions, like a mute/unmute button
  • Loading scenes with a button press
  • Creating Button Transition Animations
