void Start()
{
    // Add a listener to the button
    changeColorButton.onClick.AddListener(ChangeColor);
}

public void ChangeColor()

// Change the cube’s color to a random color
cube.GetComponent().material.color = Color.blue;
}

Hi Burhanuddin Limdiwala,

Let’s troubleshoot your script for changing the cube’s color using the button. Here’s a step-by-step checklist to ensure everything is set up correctly:

  1. Cube Assignment: Ensure that you’ve assigned the cube GameObject in the Unity inspector. If it’s not assigned, cube will be null.

  2. Button Assignment: Similarly, make sure that you have assigned the changeColorButton to the appropriate Button component in the inspector.

  3. Event System: Confirm that your scene contains an EventSystem GameObject. Unity requires this for UI elements to function correctly.

  4. Canvas Setup: Ensure that your Button is placed inside a Canvas in your scene.

  5. Renderer Component: Make sure the cube has a Renderer component.

Here is your existing code with the random color commented out, replaced with a fixed color for easier testing:

using System.Collections;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using UnityEngine;
using UnityEngine.UI;

public class ChangeCubeColor : MonoBehaviour
{
    // Start is called before the first frame update
    public GameObject cube; // Assign your cube here in the inspector
    public Button changeColorButton; // Assign your button here in the inspector

    void Start()
    {
        // Add a listener to the button
        changeColorButton.onClick.AddListener(ChangeColor);
    }

    public void ChangeColor()
    {
        if (cube != null)
        {
            // Change the cube's color to blue
            cube.GetComponent<Renderer>().material.color = Color.blue;
        }
        else
        {
            Debug.LogError("Cube is not assigned!");
        }
    }
}

Tips:

  • Check the Console for any errors or logs indicating issues.
  • If you see the “Cube is not assigned!” error, revisit the inspector to confirm the assignments.
  • Make sure your cube is active in the scene when you click the button.

If this does not resolve the issue, please let me know about any error messages you receive, or if you have specific details about your Unity setup that might affect the script.

Hi Burhanuddin Limdiwala,

To assist you more effectively, could you please provide the following details?

  1. Error Messages: Are there any error messages in the Unity Console?
  2. Unity Version: Which version of Unity are you using?
  3. Inspector Setup: Can you confirm that the cube and changeColorButton GameObjects are correctly assigned in the inspector?
  4. Scene Setup: Is there an Event System and Canvas present in your scene?

Providing these details will help diagnose the issue more accurately.

To me it looks like what you’re showing here is a C# script inside Unity. Needle uses TypeScript components. Would recommend you take a look at our getting started docs.

The easiest way to change color on click is to use the SetMaterialOnClick component from our Everywhere Actions.

I have sent you a DM to verify your license since I can’t find a license registered using your name or email address. Thanks

import { Behaviour, serializable, findComponent, Object3D, MeshRenderer } from "@needle-tools/engine";

export class ChangeCubeColor extends Behaviour {

    @serializable(Object3D)
    cube?: Object3D;

    @serializable()
    buttonSelector: string = "#changeColorButton"; // e.g., "#myButton"

    private _button?: HTMLButtonElement;

    awake() {
        this._button = document.querySelector(this.buttonSelector) as HTMLButtonElement;
        if (this._button) {
            this._button.addEventListener("click", () => this.changeColor());
        }
    }

    changeColor() {
        if (this.cube) {
            const renderer = findComponent(this.cube, MeshRenderer);
            if (renderer) {
                renderer.setColor("#0000ff");
            }
        }
    }
}

i have use this object 3d and find component error

Hi, could you please share the whole error message?

Your import statement is not correct. Object3D needs to imported from three like so: import { Object3D } from "three"

FindComponent does not exist. You probably mean findObjectOfType? Or this.cube.getComponentInChildren(MeshRenderer) and then set the color on the sharedMaterial (it’s a threejs Material type so you might need to cast it to e.g. a MeshStandardMaterial and then set the color)

Please also take a look at Creating and using Components | Needle Engine Documentation to learn how to write custom scripts for Needle Engine

Here’s some small example code for how to change the color - i hope it helps

15

Can you please provide me for button click and color change by script

Here you go Needle-engine Change Color Example - StackBlitz

import {
  Behaviour,
  Button,
  MeshRenderer,
  serializable,
} from '@needle-tools/engine';
import { Color } from 'three';

export class ChangeColor extends Behaviour {
  @serializable(Button)
  button?: Button;

  @serializable(Color)
  color?: Color;

  @serializable(MeshRenderer)
  target?: MeshRenderer;

  onEnable(): void {
    this.button?.onClick?.addEventListener(this.changeColor);
  }
  onDisable(): void {
    this.button?.onClick?.removeEventListener(this.changeColor);
  }

  private changeColor = () => {
    if (!this.color || !this.target) return;
    for (const mat of this.target.sharedMaterials) {
      if (mat && 'color' in mat && mat.color instanceof Color) {
        mat.color.set(this.color);
      }
    }
  };
}
