I have an InputAction
callback where I am recording the position where the player clicks the screen, but only if the click is not over a UI element. Here's my code
private void OnPress(InputAction.CallbackContext context)
{
if (!EventSystem.current.IsPointerOverGameObject())
{
this.pressPosition = Mouse.current.position.ReadValue();
}
}
This has been working correctly. However, I recently updated my version of Unity, and now I'm getting this warning every time I click somewhere in my game:
Calling IsPointerOverGameObject() from within event processing (such as from InputAction callbacks)
will not work as expected; it will query UI state from the last frame
According to the changelog, this warning was added with an update to the input system.
Is there a way to figure out whether the mouse was over the UI when the player clicks the screen without getting this warning?
how I solved it was by moving just that piece of logic to an Unity's Update function:
private void Update()
{
if (Mouse.current.leftButton.wasPressedThisFrame)
{
if (EventSystem.current.IsPointerOverGameObject(PointerInputModule.kMouseLeftId))
// was pressed on GUI
else
// was pressed outside GUI
}
}
You can still keep using the inputsystem, i.e. when cancelled:
private void OnPress(InputAction.CallbackContext context)
{
if (context.canceled)
// Left mouse is no longer pressed. You can do something within the input system notification.
}
