Go to the collider Game Object and on the top right you can see the "Layer" which is set to Default. Use "Ignore Raycast". On $$anonymous$$ouseDown() uses raycasting and a collider is needed. Setting is to this layer, however, will make the method ignore the object.

Hi, you can do this...

 [SerializeField] private LayerMask inputLayerMask;
        
 private void Start()
 {
     Camera.main.eventMask = inputLayerMask;
 }

Then in the game object's inspector set what layer mask, or masks, you want to receive mouse input.
