IPointerDownHandler and other handlers will not work

Questions & Answers

When I place these mouse input handler methods on a RawImage, none of them will run. I’ve followed tutorials and tried the Unity API versions. The PointerEventData is always null too.

I have a cursor overlay, so i’m sure im clicking the image, and the debug messages won’t play. Here is a sample of the script that won’t work:

using UnityEngine;
using System.Collections;
using UnityEngine.EventSystems;// Required when using Event data.

public class DragTest : MonoBehaviour, IPointerDownHandler// required interface when using the OnPointerDown method.
{
    //Do this when the mouse is clicked over the selectable object this script is attached to.
    public void OnPointerDown(PointerEventData eventData)
    {
        Debug.Log(this.gameObject.name + " Was Clicked.");
    }
}

Nobody else seems to have this problem and I have no idea what could be causing it. Does anyone know if this script automatically picks up on the image its attached to?

Thanks in advanced

SOLVED. In case anyone else has this issue:

My cursor overlay was blocking the clicks. Add a ‘canvas group’ to the cursor overlay image, then uncheck ‘interactable’ and ‘blocks raycasts’.
