Detect mouse clicks anywhere on the screen except given gameobject
I have two gameobjects with scripts attached to them. In first script, I've implemented OnMouseDown() so the script reacts when user is clicking that object. And I want second object to react when i'm clicking elsewhere on the screen. I've tried Input.GetMouseButtonDown() but that doesn't seem to work, because in this case second script runs even if i click first object.
You could use a boolean that is set to true or false depending on whether the mouse is on the object. Something like:
var MouseOnObject : boolean = false;
function OnMouseEnter() {
MouseOnObject = true;
}
function OnMouseExit() {
MouseOnObject = false;
}
function Update () {
if(Input.GetButtonDown("Fire1") && !MouseOnObject)
{
//clicked elsewhere on screen
}
}
This should work but give it a try and let me know :)
hi nice solution! but what can i do when the issue is smartphone.. On$$anonymous$$ouseEnter wil not help in this situation..
on mobile you can use ray casting to see whether clicked on the object or elsewhere.
this post is quite old but, but still useful i changed the code a bit and for C# it works like a charm
using UnityEngine.EventSystems;
public class DisableGameObjectClickedOut : MonoBehaviour, IPointerEnterHandler, IPointerExitHandler
{
bool MouseOnObject = false;
public void OnPointerEnter(PointerEventData pointerEventData)
{
MouseOnObject = true;
}
public void OnPointerExit(PointerEventData pointerEventData)
{
MouseOnObject = false;
}
void Update()
{
if ((Input.GetMouseButtonDown(0)) && (!MouseOnObject))
{
this.gameObject.SetActive(false);
}
}
}
