How to use mouse pick with a canvas UI child?

[ETGgames]

I have a panel set up in the canvas thats using overlay, but the action on the fsm on the panel is a mouse pick. However, I'm not getting any response from the mouse pick. Does mouse pick work with UI elements? is there a better way?

Hi,

 yes, make each of your selectable items listening to OnClick and then either broadcast an Event or send an event to a Manager dealing with UI selection.

Use the uGui Component proxy for this, or the uGui Pointer Event Proxy

Mouse Pick and all the conventional mouse handling do not work with uGui, you have to use the "Event System" which is a very distinct system. It's confusing I know, but unfortunatly a necessary evil for proper event management across platforms and types of Input ( Mouse, Touch, Accessibility)

 Bye,
