How to trigger the On Click function of a button in Unity?

Question

I have a button with a click handler assigned to it. In my script I want to trigger that click function without the user clicking the button. How can I do this?

I figured with gameObject.GetComponent<Button>().onClick; it would work, but it doesn't.

Answer 1

This should work:

gameObject.GetComponent<Button>().onClick.Invoke(); 

UnityEvent.Invoke

I dont even know what onClick does

Go to the documentation:

Button.onClick
