Title: Ignore raycast on game objects - so that it just acts on GUI elements? [solved]
Post by: Grave_sts on January 26, 2012, 01:50:30 AM

Hey all~

I am using EZGUI and playmaker in a point and click game. The one problem I have encounter however is that when I click on the GUI element the character moves to that position :< - I have tried several approaches but I seem to be missing the point ;)

Thanks in advance~ :)

I haven't used EZGUI, but came across this in Unity Answers:

In EZGUI when I want to do this I place an invisible button that is disabled behind the GUI that overlays the main GUI so click-throughs cannot occur.

Unity Answers thread on this topic:
http://answers.unity3d.com/questions/53629/prevent-a-click-from-going-through-gui-buttons.html

You could implement some of those ideas in Playmaker too. E.g., have your GUI code set a flag that your world click code checks.

Seems trickier than you'd expect to get this working in Unity... :-\
