Cancelling on a Button Click

Unity Courses Ask
#1

Not sure if this comes up later in the polishing section or something, but what’s a good way to cancel an ability use on a right click or similar button press? I tried putting a Cancel call in a few places but nothing seemed to work for me.

#2

So at this point, we’ve introduced isCancelled into the UserData…

Unless there is some sort of delay, there’s not much going on to cancel, even with a keystroke, but in a script like DelayedClickTargeting.Targeting, you could do something like this in the while loop

while(!data.IsCancelled())
{
     if(input.GetKeyDown(Keycode.escape)) //spelling may be off
     {
          data.GetUser().GetComponent<ActionScheduler>().CancelCurrentAction();
          yield break;
          continue;
     }
     //Rest of the loop
#3

You could also test for Input.GetMouseDown(1)

#4

Is continue supposed to be inaccessible here?

if(Input.GetKeyDown(KeyCode.Escape)) //spelling may be off

                {

                    data.GetUser().GetComponent<ActionScheduler>().CancelCurrentAction();

                    yield break;

                    continue;

                }

                //Rest of the loop

While that code didn’t 100% do it, it does seem like this does, unless it’s introducing some bugs I don’t see yet:

if(Input.GetKeyDown(KeyCode.Mouse1))
      {
        data.GetUser().GetComponent<ActionScheduler>().CancelCurrentAction();
        targetingPrefabInstance.gameObject.SetActive(false);
        playerController.enabled = true;
        finished();
        yield break;
       }

Hehe, that’s what happens when I answer a question from my work computer instead of my home computer with the actual codebase and compiler in it.

That code should do it just fine.
