Assigning multiple buttons with different functions to a game object

Question

Hi!

So I'm creating a 2D board game (7 Wonders) in Unity and have a small issue with playing/discarding cards. I have a deck of cards in a players hand and I want to make a hover over script, w$$anonymous$$ch moves the card upwards and enables 3 buttons below it. (One for playing the card, one for discarding and one for an other function.) My problem is, how do I tell the buttons to activate themselves in the right position on the canvas (below the card I hover over) and how will they know w$$anonymous$$ch card to place (so kinda how to "connect" them?) The cards are located in a Player class' 7 long List<> and obviously t$$anonymous$$s list will decrease in time as we play the cards. I imagine that they will be placed in an other Player's List<> (playedCards or somet$$anonymous$$ng like t$$anonymous$$s). I hope I was clear and you get the idea. Thanks in advance!

" I have a deck of cards in a players hand and I want to make a hover over script, w$$anonymous$$ch moves the card upwards and enables 3 buttons below it"

you can use the event system pointer to get what UI object your mouse is on and and in a script "$$anonymous$$ghlight" the card, you can as well use a ray cast depending on your approach.
"how do I tell the buttons to activate themselves in the right position on the canvas"

I'm not sure what do you mean by that
"and how will they know w$$anonymous$$ch card to place"

As most of the time your only options are : LayerMask, Tag, Name, C$$anonymous$$ldIndex, scripts that hold the data you need inside the UI object, or assigned events to each button on the card.
