bevy_button_released_plugin 0.3.0

Bevy helper crate that allows to react to button being released.
Documentation

Bevy Button Released plugin

crates.io license crates.io

This crate makes Bevy application aware of the release of the button instead of reacting right after clicking. I think it will be addressed in next release but until then it could be helpful for some people.

Install

cargo add bevy_button_released_plugin

Usage

Add ButtonsReleasedPlugin during app creation process, GameButton component to buttons that you want to react to it like in button_system function in example below.

use bevy::prelude::*;
use bevy_button_released_plugin::{ButtonReleasedEvent, ButtonsReleasedPlugin, GameButton};

#[derive(Component)]
pub struct Info;

pub fn main() {
    let mut app = App::new();
    app.add_plugins(DefaultPlugins)
        .add_plugins(ButtonsReleasedPlugin)
        .add_systems(Startup, setup)
        .add_systems(Update, button_system);
    app.run();
}

fn button_system(mut reader: EventReader<ButtonReleasedEvent>, q: Query<&Name>, mut q_text: Query<&mut Text,With<Info>>) {
    let mut text = q_text.single_mut();
    for event in reader.read() {
        if let Ok(button_name) = q.get(**event) {
            text.sections[0].value = format!("Last button released: {}", button_name);
        }
    }
}

fn setup(mut commands: Commands) {
    // Camera
    commands.spawn(Camera2dBundle::default());

    // root node
    commands
        .spawn(NodeBundle {
            style: Style {
                width: Val::Percent(100.0),

        .with_children(|parent| {   
            parent.spawn((
            TextBundle::from_section(
                "",

                    margin: UiRect::all(Val::Px(18.0)),
                    padding: UiRect::all(Val::Px(30.0)),
                    ..default()
                }),
            Info,
        ));
            for (text, color) in [
                ("Green", Color::GREEN),
                ("Red", Color::ORANGE_RED),
                ("Yellow", Color::YELLOW),
            ] {
                parent.spawn((
                    ButtonBundle {
                        style: Style {
                            margin: UiRect::all(Val::Px(18.0)),
                            padding: UiRect::all(Val::Px(30.0)),
                            ..default()
                        },
                        background_color: BackgroundColor(color),
                        ..default()
                    },
                    GameButton::default(),
                    Name::new(text),
                ));
            }
