Problem with single click method and OnBeginDrag

Unity Engine

I’m using the following script (found amongst these forums) to call methods on single or double click events. However, I have a problem using this on objects that also incorporate IDragHandler. I have an item in my inventory that I would like to display a tooltip when the object is clicked. However, this tooltip is showing when i drag the item too. Can anyone please tell me how to work around this?

using UnityEngine;
using UnityEngine.Events;
using UnityEngine.EventSystems;

public class ClickManager : MonoBehaviour, IPointerDownHandler
{
    //You can add listeners in inspector
    public UnityEvent OnSingleTap;
    public UnityEvent OnDoubleTap;

    float firstTapTime = 0f;
    float timeBetweenTaps = 0.2f; // time between taps to be resolved in double tap
    bool doubleTapInitialized;

    public void OnPointerDown(PointerEventData eventData)
    {
        // Invoke single tap after max time between taps
        Invoke("SingleTap", timeBetweenTaps);

        if (!doubleTapInitialized)
        {
            //Init double tapping
            doubleTapInitialized = true;
            firstTapTime = Time.time;
        }
        else if (Time.time - firstTapTime < timeBetweenTaps)
        {
            //Here we have tapped second time before "single tap" has been invoked
            CancelInvoke("SingleTap"); //Cancel "single tap" invoking
            DoubleTap();
        }
    }

    void SingleTap()
    {
        doubleTapInitialized = false; //De-init double tap

        //Fire OnSingleTap event for all eventual subscribers
        if(OnSingleTap != null)
        {
            OnSingleTap.Invoke();
        }
    }

    void DoubleTap()
    {
        doubleTapInitialized = false;
        if(OnDoubleTap != null)
        {
            OnDoubleTap.Invoke();
        }
    }
}

I have it showing tool tips on mouse over. I just cancel out the tool tip in the OnBeginDrag method.

but you’re using IPointerDownHandler, you want to use IPointerClickHandler

Thank you very much! That did the trick!
