Click to move [UNITY 2D C#]

Questions & Answers
1

Hi everybody !
I’m creating a 2D game and I want that my player move on click. The problem is that, when i click on a UI button, my player is moving and i don’t want that (it is a spaceshooter and the button is the fire button …)

So, this is my Script :
void Update () {

    if (Input.GetMouseButtonDown(0))
    {
                target = Camera.main.ScreenToWorldPoint(Input.mousePosition);
                target.z = transform.position.z;
    }

    transform.position = Vector3.MoveTowards(transform.position, target, speed * Time.deltaTime);

I tried to use raycast but my player don’t move…

Some one can help me ?
Thank you, xyHeat

You could try adding a eventsystem and have a plane behind the player and the ui which then registers mouseclicks, I think this should prevent the detecting of clicks when you click on ui elements.

I see that you can use a Event Trigger and in the code use the pointerEventData to get it’s position.

I finally find the good way ! Tjis if the final code :

    if (!EventSystem.current.IsPointerOverGameObject())
    {
        if (Input.GetMouseButtonDown(0))
        {
            target = Camera.main.ScreenToWorldPoint(Input.mousePosition);
            target.z = transform.position.z;
        }
    }
    transform.position = Vector3.MoveTowards(transform.position, target, speed * Time.deltaTime);

me, i did that :

    if (Input.GetMouseButtonDown(0)) {
        target = Camera.main.ScreenToWorldPoint(Input.mousePosition);
        RaycastHit hit;
        Ray ray = Camera.main.ScreenPointToRay(Input.mousePosition);
        if(Physics.Raycast(ray, out hit))
        {
            if (hit.collider.tag != "Button")
            {
                target.z = transform.position.z;
            }
            else
            {
                return;
            }

        }

Thank you again ! Bye !
