Conflict on eventSystem

Unity Engine

Hello, im trying to make a game withouth the mouse, i mean, its not visible its only function is to move the camera), however, even if i disabled all the mouse clicks on keys (fire1,fire2,etc) if i click on the mouse it does stuff.
what my game uses are menues to navegate with WASD but if i click on the mouse any selected ui button is deselected and i cant re-select stuff. however i found a way to fix it, but it conflicts with another script i have for Tooltips
what the tooltip scrip does is check if the panel is enabled and then display information based on what button is currently selected.
NOTE: if i turn off the tooltips, then the script works good, and when i click on something i get to re-select stuff normally, but if i have tooltips turned on then it does nothing. and i get this error on console.
Also, button , button2, and button3 are never active at the same time, thats why i use them on the script, to make sure that theres always something selected.

"
NullReferenceException: Object reference not set to an instance of an object
Button1.Update () (at Assets/Zeker/Scripts/Button1.cs:297)
"

    void Update()

    {

       if (tooltipPanel.gameObject.activeInHierarchy == true && gameOver == false)
        {
            if (EventSystem.current.currentSelectedGameObject.GetComponent<Button>() == defendButton)
            {
                tooltipText.text = "35 Energy.                                 blabablablabalabla DEFENSE";
            } else if (EventSystem.current.currentSelectedGameObject.GetComponent<Button>() == AttackMenu)
            {
                tooltipText.text = "25 Energy.                            "Attack in various ways blabalbal";
}
//the code continues for 15 more tooltips, but they are all the same code with different wording.

    //reparar bug mouse
         if (Input.GetMouseButtonDown(0) || Input.GetMouseButtonDown(1) || Input.GetMouseButtonDown(2))
         {
            CatchMouseClicks();
         }
}
    public void CatchMouseClicks()
    {
        if (button.gameObject.activeInHierarchy == true)
        {
            EventSystem.current.SetSelectedGameObject(button);
        }
        else if (button2.gameObject.activeInHierarchy == true)
        {
            EventSystem.current.SetSelectedGameObject(button2);
        }
        else if (button3.gameObject.activeInHierarchy == true)
        {
            EventSystem.current.SetSelectedGameObject(button3);
        }

    }

So rather than still using all of the inherent UI objects, such as Button, and then trying to figure out if the mouse is causing the inputs and then counter-acting that and all of the nightmare that’s going to be… your best bet is to actually just write a custom input module for the UI system to use: Redirecting to latest version of com.unity.ugui

You can probably just copy and paste the official Unity StandaloneInputModule source code and strip away anything related to the mouse: https://bitbucket.org/Unity-Technologies/ui/src/0651862509331da4e85f519de88c99d0529493a5/UnityEngine.UI/EventSystem/InputModules/StandaloneInputModule.cs

Make sure you disable the StandaloneInputModule component on your EventSystem GameObject and add your own after you’re done.

Good luck!
