#ui problem
raw salmon
The button is off the bottom left corner of the screen.
This is a common error. The canvas is in "Screen Space - Overlay" mode, so it's drawn directly onto your screen.

yikes
raw salmon
The canvas is positioned and sized in the world so that one unit on the canvas is one unit in the world
It doesn't matter where the camera is "looking" at the canvas objects
Click on the Canvas and hit F to focus your view on it
your camera will zoom way out
rugged oracle
OH
raw salmon
The button is probably really tiny right now
rugged oracle
it was yeah
raw salmon
Select MenuButton and set up its RectTransform like this
rugged oracle
but the camera didnt move
raw salmon
but the camera didnt move
the camera object won't
I mean the scene view camera -- the thing you've viewing the scene with
rugged oracle
yeah
raw salmon
Select MenuButton and set up its RectTransform like this
the scale is probably really tiny
so put it back to 1, 1, 1
raw salmon
also set its width to 160 and its height to 30
rugged oracle
and these???
raw salmon
The UI is drawn directly onto your screen
The Camera position is meaningless.
It doesn't matter where the Camera component's object is pointing or positioned
rugged oracle
either way, the hover detector works on this button
raw salmon
Okay, so I'm guessing you had another UI element that was blocking the button.
rugged oracle
so that is very strange, something must be interrupting it in my other scene
gonna have to crack on finding out what that could be then
thanks for the help
raw salmon
You should have a look at the UI docs
I mashed stuff together for a long time before actually reading and understanding the docs
which make it a lot easier to make a consistent UI...
rugged oracle
is it possible something in one of my other scripts is messing with it though? or you think it's more likely being 'physically' blocked
raw salmon
If the button isn't changing color, then nothing is receiving inputs at all
rugged oracle
If the button isn't changing color, then nothing is receiving inputs at all
this is really annoying actually, I went back to the old scene and everything works again. So was that just Unity getting itself in a pickle?
raw salmon
That implies it depends on the exact order objects were created in
