"Button" PlugIT

The "Button" PlugIT allows to create a button applied to a scene object which can be activated by a left click, a right click, a middle click, when the cursor is on the button or when the cursor leaves it.

This PlugIT works in multi-touch.

If the button is applied to an object, the object must have a texture. Also check if you have a material assigned on your object.

10

Allows to define the image number of your button if it is an animated button.
The image number of the animation is defined on the image width. Example of an animated image with three states on the height (Active, hover and Down) and eight images for the animation.
