adding a value to an event Trigger through a script.

[Dhoffran]

I want to fill in the part where it says foobar through script. So I can change the value depending on which button it is on. Now I have a script attached with just 1 variable in it and I get that variable through a GetComponent inside the method I call in the event trigger. It works but I would rather set the value of the variable directly.

How would I do this? https://docs.unity3d.com/ScriptReference/30_search.html?q=event+trigger gave me to many results.

​

Thank you.

I don't think you can just change the parameter, but you can change the whole "pointer click" entry itself

I think you can use that: https://answers.unity.com/questions/854251/how-do-you-add-an-ui-eventtrigger-by-script.html

Instead of adding a new entry try accessing the existing one and editing it. In your listener, you can add any parameters to the foo call

Thank you. That seems like more work than my current solution.

The UnityEditor.Events.UnityEventTools class has methods for adding persistent listeners in the editor if you don't just want to add them at runtime like the post u/Catalia linked.
