Buttons are special objects that can be used for any purpose that a real world button would have. They are generally made up of a pushed object<\/em> and a fixed object<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Buttons have many settings in the inspector. Some of the important ones are:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Push Depth:<\/strong> The distance between the pushed object and the fixed object. The button triggers when the pushed object reaches the specified push depth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Clicked Signal:<\/strong> At least one true\/false signal needs to be connected to the button in order for it to have an effect.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Button Mode:<\/strong> In “UI” mode, the pushed object and fixed object are customizable 2D planes. The pushed plane can display text and\/or an icon. The fixed plane serves as a background or border.
In “Mesh” mode, the pushed object and fixed object can be chosen from the available 3D model assets in the project.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Push Mode:<\/strong> In “Click” mode, any connected signal will be set to true<\/em> for one frame and then back to false<\/em> in the next frame.
In “Toggle” mode, any connected signal will be set to true<\/em> when the button is pushed and false<\/em> when it is pushed again.
In “Hold” mode, any connected signal will send true <\/em>every frame as long as the button is held down.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
