Ignore Input.GetMouseButtonUp for clicks that were used on GUI elements
In Update() I use Input.GetMouseButtonUp(0) to detect mouse releases. I want the player to interact with my gameplay objects when the user releases the mouse button.
If the user clicks and releases a button in the GUI, my mouse-release code in Update() is called. But, I want to ignore these releases instead.
I can ignore mouse-button-down frames by checking GUIUtility.hotcontrol, but this doesn't work for the mouse-button-up frame.
Is there any simple method to ignore GetMouseButtonUp frames that were used to click on a GUI element? Currently I'm looking at something like adding m_ignoreNextMouseUp = true after every single GUI.Button call.
void Update() {
if (Input.GetMouseButtonUp(0)) {
// Ignore this code if the user had mouse-downed on a GUI element.
}
}
Looks like the "right" way to do this is to poll Events in OnGUI().
In the OnGUI() call where Event.current.type == Event.MouseUp, GUIUtility.hotControl can be reliably checked, even for MouseUp events. This is no longer true by the time Update() gets called, apparently.
So the solution for the original code:
void OnGUI() {
if (Event.current.type == EventType.MouseUp && Event.current.button == 0 && GUIUtility.hotControl == 0) {
// This code will be ignored if the user had mouse-downed on a GUI element.
}
}
You can store the rectangles of all your GUI elements and iterate them through cehck if its true for any rects: rect.Contains(Input.mousePosition) If it is, then ignore it
