button and touch both active at the same time

Question

Hi everyone

I have a game that moves the player based on input.getTouch.

I also have a button that runs the pause. both work great. the problem is that when i hit the pause button it also calls the movement method. the pause method itself is working fine (all movement is stopping) but the same problem comes up when I unpause it. it will move towards the button since its calling both function of the pause button and the movement method.

how do it set it up so that when i hit the button it doesn't also call the movement method.

*note - the pause button is in the canvas and is controlled with a different script called UIManager

Try this in your UI button click method:

            // Check if the mouse was clicked over a UI element
             if (EventSystem.current.IsPointerOverGameObject())
             {
                 Debug.Log("Clicked on the UI");
             }

For Touch:

  if(EventSystem.current.IsPointerOverGameObject(Input.GetTouch(0).fingerId))
  {
           Debug.Log("Touched the UI");
  }

is there a similar line for touch controls. It's a mobile app with only touch screen use, no on screen d pad or anything like that. I like that method tho.

awesome I will try that. does that block it from interacting with the play area or just lets me know I interacted with the UI and then I have to tell it what to do from there.
