GraphicRaycaster not detecting UI elements
Hi everybody,
This is my first time working with the GraphicRaycaster and I seem to have been running into an issue. I'm making a kinect game where I want player's hand to interact with UI elements. For this I attached gameobjects to the player's hand that should fire rays to the canvas. My code is as follows:
private GraphicRaycaster myRaycaster;
private PointerEventData ped;
private List<RaycastResult> rayResults;
public void Start()
{
// I'm using the same raycaster in the canvas
myRaycaster = UISingleton.Instance.GetComponent<GraphicRaycaster>();
ped = new PointerEventData(null);
rayResults = new List<RaycastResult>();
}
void Update () {
ped.position = Camera.main.WorldToViewportPoint(this.transform.position);
myRaycaster.Raycast(ped, rayResults);
Debug.Log("we have hit " + rayResults.Count + " objects");
}
The canvas has only one element (a button), and this is an empty scene otherwise. However I always get 0 hit results off of the raycaster. It just doesn't seem to detect it. Any ideas on what this could be?
Thanks!
