OnPointerClick not firing, what am i missing?

[idzdigital2]

if above mention things are not working then try to increase the size of box collider 2d if you see there is warning like “collider did not create any collision…” In box collider2d component.

I was missing a PhysicsRaycaster on my camera…

Does it look like this in full?

using UnityEngine.EventSystems;

public class ClassName: MonoBehaviour, IPointerClickHandler
{
    public void OnPointerClick(PointerEventData ped){
         //whatever happens on click
    }
}

But i personally had no success with the click event even with all of the above perfect and working. I would rather use the pointerUp and/or pointerDown events instead. For one they work, and you have more control over the click with what happens on down and on up.

I had the same problem, but I fixed it by adding more handlers to my code (even when I don’t use those handlers but only having their methods too).

The not working line:
public class ClassName: MonoBehaviour, IPointerClickHandler

How it fixed it:
public class ClassName: MonoBehaviour, IPointerClickHandler, IPointerUpHandler, IPointerDownHandler

It looks like using those other handlers makes the camera/project/idk to recognize the clicks.

I actually had the same problem in my android project, i already added the interface, collider and physics raycaster, but it did not work at the editor. After I build and run into real device, it works. I don’t know what happens

You should know, every “click, press etc” events are called only once on same gameobject but not parent

Lets say you have this hierarchy and all of them are Images with scripts
Script1 - OnPointerClick, OnScroll
→ Script2 - OnPointerClick
----> Script3 OnScroll, Script4 OnScroll

If you have this hiearchy and you click on that gameobject with script3 it will look up and find script2 with OnPointerClick and stop here.
If you Scroll it will find on Script3 and on Script4 and will execute both but not the OnScroll in Script1.

If you have something like that then this could be the problem.
