GUI texture button - reacts even when not pressed [SOLVED]

[jayf]

Hi.

My problem is, I got this GUI Texture button with a texture applied (so it looks like a round button now). It's supposed to be a fire button (located on the right side of the screen, while the joystick is on the left), it works since when I press it, the gun fires. However it also fires when I touch anywhere on the screen. Even when I touch a place with no GUI elements. What do I need to do, so it only fires when I press the Fire Button only?

On your GUI texture object, put an FSM on it. Add a state with a Get Button Down or Get Key Down action, choose whichever button or click you want to activate it ('Left Click' will work as a touch on a touchscreen device too), and add a global transition of 'Mouse Down' on to your state.

The set the click event to trigger an event and link it to whatever fire action you're using.

Thanks for the help. It still didn't work. After more googling (in case anyone else has this problem) I found that the "Touch GUI Event" action is better suited. I simply specified the Fire Button GUI as the Game Object and made Touch Began send of an event when touched. Now it seems to be working fine.
