Drag button text into button on Click function: Unity Inspector-CodePudding

Hi hope its not too dumb a question. I'm trying to see if i could drag the text in a button onto the on Click method of the button. The drag drop doesn't work.

If not, is the only way on script? Whats the best way to get the text via script?

(The text is added via a script).

CodePudding user response：

Seemingly your DialogueManager.continue method takes a string as parameter

public void continue(string text)
{
    ...
}

-> No! You can't simply drag in a component into a string field.

Try to make your method rather take a Text/TMP_Text component as parameter

public void continue (Text /* or TMP_Text accordingly*/ text)
{
    Debug.Log(text.text);

    ...
}

You can do something like that. The function you are calling needs to take what you want to pass as a parameter though. So in this example the function is taking a GameObject.

public void DialogueButtonPressed(GameObject textGameObject)
{
        
}

You can pass whatever type you want though. Maybe you want to pass a UI.Text component.
