I have an object that is activated by OnMouseOver.
However, if I parent this to another transform, OnMouseOver stops triggering.
I’ve checked that colliders in the parent aren’t obscuring the child - in fact I even deleted them.
As soon as I un-parent, it works again.
Stumped.
Out of curiosity - does the parent have a rigidbody attached?
Yes, the parent has a kinematic rigidbody attached - if I delete the rigidbody component OnMouseOver works fine.
This seems like a bug in Unity - it’s not behaviour that seems reasonable or logical.
I need to use a rigidbody because it’s a moving elevator - with a control panel that moves with it.
To get round this I had to add a check to see if the control panel is parented, then cache the parent transform before unparenting it. Then, once the switch has been activated by OnMouseOver, I reparent the control panel before the elevator moves. Finally, I unparent when it reaches it’s destination.
