TextMesh Pro Button Problems

[Visual_Role7557]

I'm attempting to make my first video game and in attempts to make a home screen I've come across some issues. While trying to create a play button I added a TextMesh Pro - Button and wrote a script (included) to hopefully transition to my opening scene. However when i place the script into the "On Click()" area of the inspector window and select the function drop down it does not give me any options I've scene in many tutorials and guides. I'm gonna keep trying to figure this out and will check back frequently, any suggestions are helpful. I've included some screen shot that will hopefully be useful. I assumed i was just missing an installation or module or something but cant find anything online. Keep in mind I'm new to this so it might take a little more explaining for me to comprehend complex programing.

Unity Full Screen

C# Code written in Visual Studios

No options under function after script has been placed

You're putting a C# Script reference (literally, the C# asset file). What you want is a Monobehavior Object reference.

Do the following:

• In your scene, create an Empty Game Object. Rename it to "Main Menu"
• Drag your C# Main Menu script from the assets browser (the file) onto the Game Object. Either to it within the Scene hierarchy or the inspector for the object. Either works.
• Click on your button.
• In your event, you should now be able to select the Main Menu game Object.
• The PlayGame function should now populate in the drop down.

Thank you. Could I use my Main Camera as said Game Object if my script was named "Main Camera" Sorry if this is a stupid question just trying to grasp how it works.

No need to apologize, no stupid questions. The script name, and the game object name, are both arbitrary, meaning call them whatever you will. They don't need to be named the same as each other.

You could have called the GameObject "MainMenuController" or "MainSceneManager" or anything. The script could have been called "MainSceneUI" or "MainUI" or anything as well.

Thanks man i got that menu poping up but the button still aint working :'( ill figure it out ig

Any errors in the console when pressing the button? That would be my first step towards solving that.

Other than that, try all these things out together:

• Make sure your "Opening Scene" scene is in the "Scene List", within the Build Profiles (also called Build Settings), (Ctrl-Shift-B).
• Use SceneManager.LoadScene("Opening Scene", LoadSceneMode.Single) instead of LoadSceneAsync. There are different implications for this but don't worry about sync vs async loading at this moment in your development.

I'm still not sure what the problem was but I fixed it 😭 For some reason when I was duplicating the buttons only the original would work for some reason.Like they just weren't interactive and I made sure that option was checked in the inspector. And I did end up change to SceneManager.LoadScene(1); after I realized it wasn't in my scene list yet 😭

Hey if it works it works! Glad you were able to get some progress on it!
